[dfergie]

The Indianapolis Star is reporting this...
'Star Trek' on Blu-ray?


Are you a fan of Star Trek? Do you speak Norwegian? If you answered "yes" to both questions, you're in luck.
A Norwegian Web site has said that Paramount intends to release a set of the first three 'Star Trek' movies on Blu-ray on May 13, along with the Blu-ray debut of the remastered/redone first season of The Original Series that was released on HD DVD.

Glad to hear it. Now I just hope Fox doesnt cancel the Sarah Conner Chronicles.

But will people buy it? I love Star Trek but I'm happy with the DVD versions . I'm adding to my blu-ray collection but I'm doing it very slowly and only on newer movies or really low priced Blu-ray disc.

I have The Season 1 TOS HD DVD set, will get 2 and 3 when I can along with selected movies...The HD version blows the SD version out of the water (I have some "Best of's")

Amazon now has the 6 movies up for preorder (96.99). The also have a 3-pack with only 2, 3, and 4.

You can buy them when they first come out or save money and wait. I'm going to wait. The price will drop

 

[long_time_DNC]

Yep, I'm going to wait also. There'll be a sale or a price drop...

Star Trek Movie Collection

The new Star Trek I - VI movie collection is coming out on blu-ray today. Price is reasonable at $79-89 for 6 films. I am very tempted. Of course, Amazon is listing it as being 10 days out to arrive, but Best Buy seems to have them in stock (yet for $10 more).

There is also a collection of ST: II, III, and IV availble for about $40. I am not sure why anyone would do just those films. Yes, they tell a story, but any Trekker should want the whole thing, even if it includes the dreaded ST:V.

I just hope they come out with a ST:TNG film collection for the same $80 price tag. That would make me very happy.

I think a trip to Best Buy is in order today.

They must have had a huge preorder. Mine's set to arrive Wednesday or Thursday. This is one I've had on preorder since the day it was listed. Low price guarantee dropped to 69.99 at one point.

I'm going to wait to see the review . If they didn't make major upgrades to the video I'm not getting it. I did get Season one of Star trek. The price dropped and it's well worth it .

Bill Hunt over at The Digital Bits didn't like most of the quality

My guess is that the PQ will be as good as 1080i HD on Dish, probably better, but with much better sound. This is not the first I had heard that.

I hope that they "get it right" when they eventually do the TNG movies.
