I used SAVE as a code for the DD sale and it worked.

The first review of Season Three Remastered ..including screenshots!

Star Trek Season 2 Three Remastered William Shatner Leonard Nimoy

Thanks for the heads up Greg. The reviewer discussed the extended version of The Cage. I never heard it referred to like that. He describes it as the version prior to discovery of the full color version and is the print made from black and white clips from Roddenberry's personal copy and color clips from The Menagerie.

 

[John*Wells]

Agreed, Im not spending $2700.00 again on this. Thats what Upconvert is for

I just went through a review at trekmovie of Star Trek Season 3 Remastered standard def DVD out today.

One of the things that surprised me was that in Paradise Syndrome, the syndicated remastered broadcast version had the beam the wrong color that emits from the obelisk. It was blue originally, but red on the broadcast version. They heard us fans and fixed it back to blue!

The Cage is what I really want to see with a new title sequence and CGI effects of course.

Has anyone picked this up at a Best Buy B&M store? On their website (bestbuy.com/startrek), it is being listed for $39.99 (or all three seasons for $99). The Sunday ad has it listed at $59.99.

Does anyone know if the $39.99 price is only on the website?

^ I believe that Best Buy will now price match their website price.

JohnWells, I'm afraid I was all wishy washy. I asked for this for my birthday and someone said Amazon shipped it to me two days ago. Guess I couldn't wait.

For me, TOS, in just about any form, is the Holy Grail.

I posted this somewhere else, but it bears repeating.

In the 1970s I recorded TOS off TV with an audio cassette recorder.
In the 1980s I recorded every episode off TV on VHS,
In the late 1980s and early 90s I collected the pricey Paramount VHS tapes (all of them and threw a fit at CITY being altered).
In the late 1990s (?) I bought a set of VCDs of the 40 disc set off eBay because I couldn't afford to pay $600.
In 2001 (?) I bought the 40 disc DVD set'
In 2004 I bought the season sets for the extras and a couple of sound corrections
In 2008 I am buying TOS-R.

It will never end. I have admitted it, now, finally.

I picked up the Third Season Remastered at Best Buy for $39.99. They did the price match as that was the price on their own website. If I hadn't, it would have been $59.99.

David, me too. Recorded the audio, bought the VHS, laserdiscs and all DVD iterations. TOS is the only show I'll do that for. And then blu-ray....

 

[Carabimero]

I never got the Laser Discs. Time will tell if I get the Blu-Ray.

 

[Nelson Au]

Oh, you will!

Carabimero,

Just in case you didn't understand Nelson's response, let's be perfectly clear about this: That's an order.

 

[Carabimero]

Why would I break my streak?

I'll start calling him Admiral Nelson...and he is an Admiral, you know...we just have to somehow get him out from behind the desk and assign him a starship...

 

[Nelson Au]

My nickname at my last job was Admiral Nelson!

 

[Ockeghem]

Carabimero,

Just don't call him a 'chair bound paper-pusher.' Worse yet, you could refer to Nelson as a 'Poppin' J. Ambassador.' I may just call him 'Admiral.'

BTW, doesn't this mean that Lou should get a title? Perhaps a Fleet Admiral? Somehow, 'Ensign Sytsma' just doesn't have the same ring to it. Neither does Commodore Lou 'Stocker,' or Commodore 'Locker.' It sounds as though he would have to be scrubbing the transporter pad manually.

 

[Carabimero]

Let me ask you guys how you feel about these so-called collector cards with the disc info on them. Fortunately there's a slot in my ST DVD wallet for them, but man, if there weren't, given those wonky cases and the way those cards are so slippery, man...in my opinion Paramout wins the award for consistently hard to use inconvenient ST packaging...

 

[Ockeghem]

Nelson,

Do you think these are the actual blooper reels? I own them all, but I'd love an upgrade of those.

 

[Nelson Au]

Scott, the quote you quoted was from an early reviewer who hoped that the set included the real blooper reels. I have not opened my set yet, but I'm pretty sure there is no blooper reel included. Oh well. I don't have a decent copy myself, just an old VHS.

David, those collector cards are okay. I don't have a real problem with them. The only change I'd make is if the cards were a booklet instead, so it's all together. I have to refer to them to know what is on what disc.

Amazon is apparently price-matching Best Buy at $39.99.
