(1) Over $200...just for season 1!! That's ridiculous.
(2) Still 4:3 aspect ratio. I know they could have spent more time on this and gotten it into 16:9. I don't care how good quality the HD is...if it's in 4:3, it won't seem like HD to me.]]>Jul 26th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
I'll wait for the Bluray, so they can keep their HDDVD crap.]]>Aug 2nd 2007 11:55AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 2:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Aug 3rd 2007 11:26PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Aug 16th 2007 11:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
Sigh...I was so excited for this. But they just killed it:

(1) Over $200...just for season 1!! That's ridiculous.
(2) Still 4:3 aspect ratio. I know they could have spent more time on this and gotten it into 16:9. I don't care how good quality the HD is...if it's in 4:3, it won't seem like HD to me.
****************************************

ya true widescreen would be nice, but then people will be pissed because you are losing part of the picture. it wasnt shot in 16X9 no need to crop it to such

but over 200 for season one WTF

fuck that, il wait til i can pirate it.. ]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
They do it for Law & Order on TNT just fine. It might cut off a little here and a little there, but I'm sure they could manage to make it work nicely. With 4:3 still in HD, and that ridiculous price (hell, I still find the SD price to be ridiculous), there's absolutely no incentive for me to buy this.]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:40PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
wow..............

maybe by the time they release it in Blu the price will drop............

also cropping the picture like that was mad dumb...........smh...............TRUE Trekies around the world are OUTRAGED by this insolence........How DARE They cut off William Shatners forehead 67.33333333333337% of the time!!!!]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:22PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
1. The price for one is out there. How much do they think they can get out of us early adopters anyway ?

2. It's a combo. They are just not reliable. They have major problems with skiping and syncing. They also still don't have the proccess down right to get all of the manufacturing gook off of the disks so you have to boil most of your combos in water to get them to play at all.

I will wait for the non combo version or Blu-ray ones when they are cheaper.]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
Gee, and I've never seen any of that ever, with over 30 discs. Never seen any of the problems that blu-ray owners report about HD DVD discs, for that matter.

But then, who am I supposed to believe? You or my own two eyes?]]>Jul 26th 2007 4:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
Of course, they were always ridiculous with the DVD seasons - that's why they sit on the shelf gathering dust most of the time.

If they're intersted in selling more than 2 copies, they'll release it at a much more reasonable price on blu-ray without having to do combos.]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 27th 2007 2:58AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 4:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/How does watching this show in 16:9 serve any purpose? It wasn't filmed in 16:9. I don't know about you, but I don't want to see everything stretched, which to me is just as annoying as watching pan-and-scan.]]>Jul 26th 2007 5:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
First these widescreen folk complain about how "fullscreen" DVDs pan and scan sideways, and now they want vertical pan and scan.

They don't get it. We aren't rooting for "zomg widescreen" ... we're rooting for "original aspect ratio." And anyone with half a brain stem can figure that out.]]>Jul 26th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 6:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
but its original aspect ratio was 4:3 yes it was shot on film like most tv series are, and just like most tv series, it was shot 4:3 so if they go 16:9 u will lose some of the image, not all widescreen movies take tne entire screen on a 16x9 set, some movies are 2.35:1 ratioso u still have black bars on the screen although smaller. non of the staar trek movies were shot in 16X9 most action films arent, most comedys are 16X9 though


if you wanna see it in 16X9 u will need to stretch it.

its almost as bad as pan in scan, sorry but id rater watch the correct way, i wish itt was shot widescreen, but it wasnt, so i don't want them to fuck it up.

still no fn way im paying such a price, ill wait til a non combo version is out (be it hdvd or blu ray) and ill buy as soon as i get the entire series for less than $50]]>Jul 26th 2007 6:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 8:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 26th 2007 11:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 27th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 27th 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/

"Star Trek:The Original Series Season 1"

I'm with many others here... $200 for a season is just dumb.
I won't even pay that much for a season of Babylon 5.]]>Jul 28th 2007 2:51AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 27th 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Jul 27th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/
And then, I agree on the WTF on the price. I'll get it when it's repriced a couple years from now.]]>Jul 30th 2007 1:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/26/star-trek-the-original-series-hd-dvd-boxed-set-hits-november-20/Oct 22nd 2007 8:25PM
