Geek factor 10, Mister Sulu! Looks like a great collectible (at least!).

I saw nothing in the reader reviews about the remote control (which is the reason this will someday be collectible):

Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete First Season (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD) [HD DVD] by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, and James Doohan

Can the crew of the Starship Enterprise go where no HD DVD has gone before?

Yes, Captain Sulu has already proven that........

Geez these writers are sloppy. Universal had nothing to do with Star Trek. It’s Paramount. They were supporting both formats, but announced a couple of months ago that they were dumping Blu-ray to support HD DVD exclusively.
A minor point, but you’d think these people could get basic facts right.

Happy Thanksgiving, my U.S. FRiends!

cheers

No matter 720p, 1080I etc it all depends on the signal. Where I live i get Comcast. With a great signal even the crappiest TV will look good. Before the HD they were touting “Digital”. . Unfortunately 90% of the channels on my cable, Including the digital ones look mostly like crap. My benchmark on what a standard def channel should look like is what my DVD player pumps out. Cable has had over 30 years to work this out and I can’t even watch the new Battlestar Razor movie on SciFi without it looking like i have rabbit ears on my TV.
