Slashdot Mirror
The Borg MegaCube
Alien54 writes "Paramount Pictures this week revealed plans to release a DVD box set containing every single episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Called the 'Borg Megacube', the box set will include all seven seasons of TNG across 48 discs, thus collecting all the individual DVD sets into one package. As the name implies, the set comes in the form of a Borg cube. Due out at the beginning of November..."
I heard that there will be 'pop ups' on the screen. You press 'enter' and text will explain why this episode contradicts other episodes...
Blar.
Paramount should market some 'Starfleet Lube' that fans can buy to ease the pain of merchandise-related anal rape. Berman personally tested it out on Brannon Braga.
the nerd's collective personal hygine screams
Banaaaana!
You will be Slashdotted.
With 48 discs I'm sure it would take the combined financial resources of the collective to purchase the set.
when I can get it on Kazaa. Preferably as a single zip.
What a perfect story for those reading slashdot on a Saturday night instead of going out.
Err...
Excluding myself.
As a big Star Trek fan I can only like this. How much it will cost though? As a piss poor high school student (spends all money on music instruments) my budget is limited for stuff that can be... er.. acquired for free if need be.
Btw, where are all the usual jokes? "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Borg cubes?, "SCO has prior art", "CowboyNeal lives in my Borg cube", "In Soviet Russia Star Trek episodes watch you" etc etc.
" full DVD capacity (4-sided recording..."(Emphasis mine) />
No wonder it's called The Next Generation! <grin
No

o.k. o.k., fine - a hooker dressed up as Seven of Nine. Sheesh!
mitch
See, they announced this box set right after I completed my collection of the single season releases.
You should never take life too seriously - You'll never get out of it alive.

Flanders: Why me, Lord? Where have I gone wrong? I've always been nice to people. I don't drink or dance or swear. I've even kept Kosher just to be on the safe side. I've done everything the bible says, even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!
The neutrality of this sig is disputed.
Someone should buy one, set it on a metal plate or in a trash can, set it on fire, tape it while it burns, and put it on the Internet so Trekkies can feel the horror people who like good sci-fi feel when they watch Star Trek, specially Next Generation.
