The Ultimate Star Trek Collection
roelbj writes "For those Star Trek fans wondering what to ask for this Christmas, you may wish to consider The Ultimate Star Trek Collection to be released on November 15. For just (cough) $2499.99, you'll get 212, count them, 212 DVDs with everything ever produced under the name, including all seasons of all five telvision series as well as the ten feature films. Before loading up your disc changer and hitting play, remember to get up once in a while."
Sorry, that's the deal breaker.
Hardly "Ultimate".

It was only a matter of time. :)
Assuming around 3 hours per dvd...thats 636 hours, now assuming you wouldnt watch them all in 1 hit, lets say an hour a day, thats enough star trek to last you nearly 2 years.
It doesn't seem to contain Star Trek: The Animated Series!...
I really don't see the point of this. Every true geek has already seen all of that anyway. It's not something they really need.
On the other hand $2500 will pay for a lot of hookers.
I love Star Trek, hell I grew up watching it. I even love bad Star Trek. I can't justify spending $100+ per season on it though and I never will. Paramount needs to put the crack pipe down and get those seasons in the $49-$59 range. It's not worth what they're asking. At $49 bucks a season I'd probably own most of it by now.
Appended to the end of comments you post. 120 chars.
Seeing that you will be paying more than $10 a disc is this worth it? Shouldn't you get some kind of discount for getting so many discs?
Wait until it's at least 30% off.
It's full of Star Treks!

Haha! Let's make fun of sick people!
It was completely irrelevant to the topic at hand and serves no purpose but to make light of a seriously ill person (who subsequently died).
There's something sickening here, and it's the editors' lack of respect for others and journalistic integrity.
Jesus saved me from my past. He can save you as well.
It's missing The Animated Adventures, which Paramount has said they plan on releasing on DVD at some point next year.
And I think it's sad that of the Star Trek stories to be posted, this makes the front page where as the passing of Michael Piller doesn't.

What makes owning this set of dvds and, presumably, rewatching the material worthwhile?
The only movies I've watched repeatedly are Casablanca, Apocalypse Now and to a lesser extent Alien and Blade Runner, but I've no idea why I can watch Casablanca and Apocalpse Now over and over. I know the material very nearly by heart, but have no idea what the mechanism is that hooks me in.

Someone please beam me up before it's too late!
Oh wait... Star Trek
That explains the 212 DVD's too.
Yes, I am the one with the legendary sig.
I'll admit that even a very casual fan like me finds that set rather attractive looking (though its presence in my house would remove any possibility of a date so long as it was visible). However there are a couple problems. I'm too lazy to do the math and see if buying the whole set at once is a bargain at all (I know that some would say the conveniance of having it all at once is worth it anyway.) Another problem is that if someone is hardcore enough of a fan to want all seven seasons of Voyager, well, they probably have it already, like the first user review on Amazon indicated. It is however a nice display of the great treatment Trek has gotten on DVD these last couple years.
Yup...
212 DVD's? I'll passed and wait for HD-DVD or Blu-Ray version!
Does anyone have a torrent?
This is only worth it if: 1) You are a huge Star Trek Fan (no problem I'm sure these people are out there) 2) You are a fan of 4+ of the serries: It's cheaper to buy any 3 seasons individually + all the movies 3) You aren't already collecting the dvds. Now here is my POV: I am a huge tv on dvd collector but there is a limit to how much I am willing to spend (example: I'm going to pick up the BuffyBox when it comes out, even though I already have the first four seasons.) I am also a fan of all of Star Trek, and would love to pick this up, except for the fact that I bought TNG as it came out, DS9 as it out and voyager as it came out. I'm not saying that this is intended for everyone, infact if they sell more then say, a thousand of them, I will be impressed. Anyway just my $.02 oh and wtf is with Enterprise costing 120+ per season before discounts?

i love the badge next to the price that says "Low Prices!"
somehow $2,400 isn't that low of a price to me, given that's half of my car loan.
HOT DAMN! I can use the extra cash for my spock ears!
what in the hell is this 'Net Authority' bullshit? I WANT TO SEE A FAT WOMAN DAMMIT
It's on the border line of being worth it for me. It all depends on how well the quality is. I know I can't get HD quality for the old stuff but if it's all direct copy from a bad VHS... then I don't think it's worth while.
please... let me sleep... a little more... yay, no longer annonmyous coward.

Maybe somone should have submitted news that there was an OSCon in my vincinity to begin with???!?
BASTARDS, now i missed it!!
HAHAHA fatpeople crack me up!
They are natures clowns.
Anyway it works out at about 12 bucks per DVD which ain't so bad. Not much of
a bulk discount though.
Everyone on slashdot seems to SCREAM when people post referral links in book reviews and the what not. Now there's a blatantly OBVIOUS REFERRAL LINK in an article submission, and no one gives a damn. WTF???
No, actually you posted AC because you know your opinion is wrong, although you are entitled to it. If you look at all the replys to this "Was the link necessary" post, you will notice a strange phenomenon, all 5 of your type posted AC, only 1 posted such under his account. I don't call that watching your mod point karma, I call that being ashamed of your view, which you should be, the sad part is you don't know why you are ashamed of your view, so you try to justify it by your ability to proclaim yourself above it.

"You too can be a part of the Net Authority and help us eliminate offensive material from the Internet. By reading and understanding the Internet Acceptable Use Policy, and our guide on how to spot offending material, you can arm yourself with all you need to do God's work on the Internet."
That fucking Wedge Strategy. AGAIN.
And check their "Acceptable Use Policy". They've got FIVE COMMANDMENTS!
Jengajam's supposed to be registered to a guy in Israel. This NetAuthority's registered to someone in FLORIDA.
Fine, call me a troll, I don't give a rat's ass. But explain to me again HTF letting the U.S., an increasingly Christian-oriented nation have control of the roots supposed to be a GOOD thing again?
I just wanted to follow a hyperlink which was probably gonna be a funny after reading a Slashdot article about the Trek DVD release.
NOW I'm being told, and I quote:
<blockquote>
"Since this policy applies to the entire Internet, we felt that it should be spelled out as simply and as universally understandable as possible.
As a result of this, we decided that the best way to write this document would be to model it after something that everyone knows and follows (or at least should!) in their daily lives already. We chose God's own law--The Ten Commandments."

That is so fucking it. I have had enough.
And I REALLY fucking wish the "confirm I'm not a script" keyword wasn't "almighty" for me to even post this.
Wow. The "You may also be interested in these items..." portion is completely off the mark for this Amazon item. ...
Got It.

Hmm. Got that, too.
Nope, got it.
got that one covered.
Shouldn't it be redirecting you to other SF?
Halfway through one of the seasons of Voyager, they cut the running time from 44 to 42 minutes and recut some of the episode when they were repeated. Does this set have the episodes in their longest shown format?
Now personally, If I had than many eps, id put em all on HD-converted to mpeg4 or something.
One 600giger will take care of it, though a lof of CPU time to convert though, but more portable
than 3 folders of 80 DVDs each.
Liberty freedom are no1, not dicks in suits.
If I weren't an honest citizen I could even think that buying an external 500gb hd and downloading it from the internet would be far cheaper way, more confortable to browse (be serious you don't really want 200+ dvd) and I could look on the net for sanskrit subtitles when I feel I want it exoteric.
If just I weren't...
Australians have been redirected to Net Authority by the site itself. Sorry to disappoint, but this is not the work of some shadowy government agency.
torrentsport it scotty! :)
It's missing the theatrical cut of The Wrath of Khan, which I vastly prefer to the extended/alternate footage television version on the two-disc set - and I'm not even a big enough dork to own ANY of the television episodes.
Over two thousand dollars and they can't throw in a second copy of the best Trek film evar? What a swindle.
Man, I think the first Slashdot post I ever made was a complaint that the two-disc set didn't include the original release. What were they thinking? Extended is great. Replacing certain scenes - that I thought were great - with alternate takes, and then not including both versions a la the Terminator 2 DVD, that's lame.

At least to some people. Decency and humor are subjective. What offends you doesn't offend me and vice versa. There's a new trend in America that we have to conform to the standards of people who are easily offended. That's because in America we're under the influence of a population who insists that what offends them offends God and so must be eliminated. And being that most of these people are less than comfortable with physicality, they complain about meaningless things like this under the guise of being kind and serving The Lord (TM).

Dude, misdirected anger. If it seems too kooky to be true, it usually is. NetAuthority.com is a total hoax.
Here's the author's website with his statement on NetAuthority: http://www.rudism.com/projects.shtml
I, for one, eagarly await the avalability of this via my favorite piracy channels.
Yeah, there is no fucking way I'm dropping that kind of money on something like this, it's a non-starter. So, the Mafia won't be out any money anyway...
I don't get it... How can Star Trek TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT seasons boxes still be selling at twice the price of (e.g.) Lost season 1 DVD box?
I take your point. Especially the bit about the anger. Indeed, I'm taking that reality check to the teller at the bank. Consider me chilling.
... and what kinda kicks do you (no, not you Kyle, I know) get out of pulling crap like this? ESPECIALLY WHEN we've something GENUINELY like this in the Discovery Institute's Wedge Strategy? The sort of crap that actually got an airing in court?
But then why's the redirection happening?
Jengajam and NetAuthority are registered in two different places and two different IP addresses, running on (thank you, nmap) two different operating systems.
Why is it that, to see the content of the linked article, you have to hit a historical cache? Why, and for that matter, how is the redirection happening?
Last few days, Slashdot's been putting out the articles on the diminishment of Science and the rise of Fundamentalism in America. And by the way America, the fallout of this crap hits other countries too, y'know.
It's enough our idiot politicians suck up to yours and saddle us with the FTA that's causing NO end of troubles... but now the Christian Right's trying to slime its way across the world until all the atlas is blood-red.
So Rudis's NetAuthority page is really, let's be honest, NOT a good idea. That's at least heading in the direction of making airplane crash jokes. On 9/11. In earshot of grieving victims.
Ew.
I already own all the movies and series except Enterprise. I put the sets together a hell of a lot cheaper than list price by buying new, sealed collections on eBay. They look quite nice in my living room.
Most people on eBay aren't willing to fork out enough cash for a whole series, so I was able to get TNG, for example, for about $350 - a bargain compared to the $700+ retail price.
Just be careful that you buy the authentic, non-Asian "collector's edition" sets.
A quick search on dvdpricesearch.net shows you can get the contents of this collection for $2347 delivered, ordering from deepdiscountdvd.com and playcentric.com. This amazon collection is pointless. Is 'one-click' purchase worth $150?
(BTW, it's fitting that the captcha word for this post was 'spanked')
as it seems, individual episodes are offered as 350M downloads in p2p. so a 300G HD is enough for the whole collection. it would seem wise to sell this stuff on an external HD for about $500.
Yep, you'll need those to lift the damn thing.
Nothing for 6-digit uids?
For that money you can buy a Netflix account and a DVD (DVD, surround sound, HDTV) home theater which will give you many more viewing options.
the other story sounds like something from www.fark.com
He who knows best knows how little he knows. - Thomas Jefferson
It must have been something she ate...
Without knowing we can't know if his problem was mental or neurological. One thing is sure tough, it was not completely metabolic. No one gets that fat with metabolic problems only if they try to control their weight. If you eat only water, veggies and some rice you just don't grow that big. Digesting your food consumes lots of energy. Producing all that salt-acid etc. consumes energy even if you don't move. So if people with some extreme metabolic problem eat low calorie food and don't move there is limit how big they can grow. And that limit is much less than with this lady.
It is most likely her problem was mostly mental. But there is chance that she suffered from rare neurological condition where you are always extremely hungry. For these people life is constant suffering. This kind of rare conditior many times results people to eat themselves to dead. But we can't be sure.
If that man who was feeding her would have given her only rice, vater, veggies and vitamines she would be living today.

You can get the entire west wing series for less than $200 bucks yet Paramount wants to screw everyone with this crap. Paramount should just sell the TV rights to NBC, let Aaron Sorkin write it, get some West Wingesque actors, and call it Deep Space 10.

Freedom: "I won't!"
They must have mistaken the stardate of the release for the price??
$2500!? Where's the cheap gimmick that makes it worth that much? How about TNG in the Borg Cube box? If I were to get all those individually at deepdvddicsount(dot com) I could get it for about $150 less, or $750 less if I leave out Voyager. Greedy Paramount wants to sell Star Trek at $100 a season, I guess they're going for PROFIT over total sales. SG-1 can be had for $30-40 a season, for those who don't like math, that's 60%-70% less, yes they're only 22eps/season while Star Trek is mostly 26eps, but even that doesn't make it worth the more than doubled price. If you want TNG and DS9 I suggest a cheap, or not so cheap, TV card or even a TiVo and SpikeTV, 2 eps of DS9 and 3 of TNG, you'll have the entire series in a couple weeks.
F7 doesn't work, ignore spelling and grammar
Now THAT is my kind of Deep Space Nine.
Rich And Stupid is not so bad as Working For Rich And Stupid.
Of course, all the movies could benefit from high-def, but I believe half the TNG shots were filmed rather than videotaped. It could be weird switching back and forth between resolutions within a single episode, but should be available as an option. Any collector would want that option.
Huh? It's a science fiction show. Given that the live-action shows themselves are frequently contradictory (when did they first meet the Romulans again? What do Klingons look like? What are stardates?), what grounds are there for saying the cartoons are any different?
This makes the front page but Sulu being gay doesnt?! At least CNN had the wiseness to make that story a front page affair!

I'm selling a Genuine Unofficial Free-Standing All-Space-Age Temperature-controlled Star Trek DVD Display Case that is cleverly disguised as a fridge. Now you can enjoy a ridiculously immature niche obsession without scaring off desirable potential mates.
A couple notes:
1. It includes a automatic light that turns on when you open the door, neatly illuminating the collected genius of Gene Roddenberry.
2. It can keep the DVDs at a cool 40f, the optimum temp for beloved DVDs and meatloaf.
3. Your official date-night story will be that the second fridge is for meat from hunting. I suggest packages of ground meat on the first shelves and condiments in the door on date-nights. To complete the ruse, you may want to buy a gun - but don't refer to it as a 'Phase Pistol,' 'Phaser Rifle' or "'Lil Wheaton".
4. Feel free to keep Voyager in our super-cold 'torture chamber' conveniently located at the top. Now you can really mean it when you say, "Braga, revenge is a dish best served cold."
5. Pull all Star Trek refrigerator magnets and fan art off and store in box prior to dates. This applies to your current fridge, as well.
from the editorial review:
The only omissions from the set are the animated series (1973-75), which as of 2005 was not available on DVD, and the two officially sanctioned fan-focused documentaries, Trekkies and Trekkies 2. So perhaps The Ultimate Star Trek Collection isn't quite as ultimate as it could be...
'nuff said.
- Entertaining Bits from the Ancient Kernel Tree
Is all the material from the bonus DVDs included with the season sets. These were exclusives from Best Buy and its associated companies. So it's even a little less ultimate.
I dont think that 32 cents an episode for a good t.v. show is too much to ask. Is it expensive? Yes! Is this better than watching the garbage on today? Yes!! !!Golly Geepers!!

Comment removed based on user account deletion
They only recently dropped to the $40 range. Up until about when season 7 or 8 was released, it was $70 a set. Most stores won't even carry them, save your movie-centric ones (Suncoast, Media Play, Best Buy, etc). I finally started buying them (damn good show but the price was just too steep) once they dropped below the $50 mark.
Although, I do agree, the high price and resulting low availability kept me from purchasing most of TNG and any of TOS. Every time I'd force myself to pick up a Trek box, I'd look over and see The A-Team, MacGuyver, Batman Animated (1992), etc for less...combined. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to guss what's gotten pruchased over and over.

That is the ONLY set of shows that I have not already watched to completion, and they left it out.
What's the point if it is not complete?
Besides, don't you want to see Kzinti threaten to eat vulcans? (One of the few episodes of the cartoons was written by Larry Niven - it was basicall a re-write of one one his better short stories about Slaver weapons and Kzinti and he even kept the Kzinti)

For whatever its worth (not much to most people, I guess), the animated series was released some years back as a boxed set of Laserdiscs. You remember Laserdiscs, right? They were just as good as DVDs in most respects, only bigger. And yes, I have the discs, I just don't have a working LD player at the moment.
I hope they didn't change the facts...the Borg shoots first.

So, four 500GB Hard Drives.
Assuming you could get it streaming, you have 32,638 minutes to view it, so your pipe better be over 1.04 MB/sec. If it isn't, multiply your download time accordingly.

Hell, B5 in totality costs $500 (depending on where you get your discs), and for another $450 you can get actual scripts for almost every episode, released by JMS.

So Rudis's NetAuthority page is really, let's be honest, NOT a good idea. That's at least heading in the direction of making airplane crash jokes. On 9/11. In earshot of grieving victims.
Wow. You wouldn't have liked being at my university on that day. (12/9 our time.) One of the Americans in my class was making jokes about plane crashes, and jokes about killing 40,000 accountants at the same time.
I downloaded all of these for $0. Much cheaper :)
For those Star Trek fans wondering what to ask for this Christmas, you may wish to consider The Ultimate Star Trek Collection to be released on November 15. For just (cough) $2499.99
Well. I can ask.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
there are many of those on this thread...
I tried to follow the link of the fat woman on the couch, and got taken to this Net Authority website.
From the site:
The Net Authority is an organization dedicated to the removal of offensive material from the Internet. The online world is teeming with pornography, depravity, blasphemy, and all kinds of hate propaganda. It is our mission to define a set of guidelines to which all information posted on the Internet must adhere, and to hold responsible those who would knowingly break those guidelines.
It is extremely important that children are shielded from sites in violation of the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The children of today determine the society of tomorrow, so the kinds of things that their growing, susceptible minds are exposed to are of the utmost importance. The Net Authority willingly works in conjunction with national and international enforcement agencies to put a stop to the dissemination of offensive materials on the Internet.
Our primary initiative towards that end is the maintenance of a continually growing database of Internet offenders--websites that knowingly violate the Internet Acceptable Use Policy. We freely provide access to this database for concerned parents, interested software developers, and law-abiding Internet citizens in general. We fully understand the scope of the Internet, and that it is unlikely for us to ever hold a majority of offending sites in our database--but it is our hope that by holding these sites up as an example, we can help deter other Internet users from following similar paths and thus reduce the accumulation of offensive material on the Internet in general.
The Net Authority is an organization consisting of individuals and community leaders from all over the civilized world. We are all constantly on the look-out for new offenders to add to our database--but we can't do it alone! You too can be a part of the Net Authority and help us eliminate offensive material from the Internet. By reading and understanding the Internet Acceptable Use Policy, and our guide on how to spot offending material, you can arm yourself with all you need to do God's work on the Internet. Every offending site that is added to our database by visitors just like yourself takes us one step closer to a cleaner, better Internet for our children.
Is this happening for just me? Or is this happening to others, too? Looks kind of draconian.
It doesn't even include The Star Wreck !!
