Ditto. Standard Def defeats half the purpose of this release (HD presentation / new effects).

I'll stick with the season sets I already have until a BD release.

Re: Star Trek TOS Season 2 HD-DVD- March 25th tentative release

I've already made my intentions known in another thread on this topic.

Basically, this release is invisible as far as I'm concerned. And I really don't understand who this release is supposed to be for.

* It's not for HD-DVD owners who started this collection in Hi-def.
* It's not for SD-DVD collectors who would be expected to acquire the first season on a hybrid format.
* It's not for hi-def owners since they'll be waiting for the inevitable Blu-ray releases.

And, in addition to all of that, the release violates the spirit -- if you will -- of Star Trek which has always been in the forefront of packaged media with both its episodic and game releases.

I'm going to pretend like it doesn't exist ...

That's pretty much what I'm doing with Paramount as a whole until they announce some Blu-ray Disc releases.

I'm with Joseph! I'll be using my cloacking device to hide, watch, and wait. I'll strike when the time is right.

Is Joseph a Vulcan name?

Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.

I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

I'm waiting for the inevitable HD re-releases of the remastered episodes.

Every man is my superior, in that I may learn from him.

The only place this release will exist for me is in my Blockbuster On Line Queue, should Season two become available to rent.

Re: Star Trek TOS Season 2 HD-DVD- March 25th tentative release

I agree. No Blu-ray no sale. The shame of it is that those of us who already have season 1 on HD-DVD will have to wait - god knows how long - for an eventual hi-def release on Blu-ray for season 2 & 3. I really wish they had gone ahead and released S2 as a combo and just lowered the price. Afterall, it could've been stocked/sold in the SD-DVD section with retailers, but I'm told that when Toshiba pulled the plug, the subsidy for the Trek discs also went away. Bummer.
