Paramount Press Release: Star Trek TOS Season One (Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

[Tim-H.]

It's been an expensive week already, but I'm finding it hard to resist grabbing this for $64.99.
And the screenshots at dvdbeaver are pretty awesome.

 

[Nelson Au]

I'm pretty anal, Paul! And probably lucky so far.

 

[Osato]

Agreed. I also picked up the set at Amazon for $65. Great screen caps on DVD Beaver. I can't wait to be able to sit down and watch TOS on blu ray!

I'm also planning on picking up the Trilogy set of the feature films.

 

[Dave Mack]

I canceled my amazon order and will pick these up at Best Buy on tues. Tues nite? Trekathon!

 

[Ensign Eddie]

Amazon shipped it this morning with an expected delivery date of tomorrow (up until it shipped, the expected delivery date was always 4/30). I guess Paramount hasn't asked Amazon to hold off shipping until release date after all.

 

[Johnny Angell]

Amazon ususally ships my pre-orders (not many of them) on Monday and I get them Wednesday. That's when my TOS is scheduled to arrive. I can live with that.

 

[Doug Wallen]

Looking forward to getting this tomorrow.

Does anyone know if the original Desilu closing logo is on these episodes without the 1978 Paramount copyright?

 

[Nelson Au]

The HD-DVD did have the Desilu logo. And the clarity was such that you could see a little shadow on the"D" as it curled around onto itself!

 

[ScottR]

Cool! And this was the logo with just DESILU and not the 1978 info at the bottom?

 

[Nelson Au]

As I recall, it looked like this:



And you can see the shadowing I was referring to here.

 

[Lou Sytsma]

It is a sign from the gods - I already have this on HD but the BluRay has been released on birthday. It would be foolish of me to ignore such a sign.

 

[Ensign Eddie]

According to UPS, my copy is on the truck for delivery. It's going to be a fun night!

 

[Gary Seven]

Happy Birthday. May you live long and prosper.

 

[Nelson Au]

Happy Birthday Lou! Beware Romulan's bearing gifts!

 

[Lou Sytsma]

Thanks! Yes indeed - the payback on a bottle of Romulan Ale is quite steep.

 

[Ric Easton]

Happy Birthday, Lou! Maybe I'll open up one of the remaining Romulan Ales I got from The ST Experience in Vegas!

 

[Nelson Au]

Just got back from Best Buy and I've got Star Trek Season 1 in my hot hands!

One thing, I noticed that all the boxes there had some rattling inside. My worst fear came true and disc 1 and disc 7 were loose. No obvious scratches. It's my lunch break, so I'll play an episode to be sure it's okay. Now which one?....

And I was going to watch my recording of The Big Bang Theory....

 

[Walter Kittel]

Nelson,

Where No Man Has Gone Before or The City on the Edge of Forever would be my suggestions.

- Walter.

 

[Tim-H.]

I noticed a similar rattling in all the sets, but mine only had a loose disc 7. The disc looks OK though. While I appreciate the slim packaging, I'd prefer slightly deeper hubs! This might affect a lot of those getting their sets in the mail.
