I own the full set of two episode discs. I'm not thrilled about re-buying the series but I'm doing it anyway. I think the menus look cool actually. Very in keeping with the show.

As for the trailer, I was a bit taken aback at first, but I was totally into it by the end. Pretty cool.

I'm not sure if fans are going to be happy with the R1 packaging of TOS. The plastic "communicator" case is cool, but once you open that, you're left with a flimsy plastic stack of DVD holders and a slim booklet.

Yup, as soon as I heard about these sets I put up the 40 original discs on Half.com and made about $10-$12 each. There could still be plenty of people that don't know about the new boxsets (until they actually get released) if you still want to try to sell the original releases.

Does anyone know if the video on these sets is any different from the mastering on the single disc volumes? I am probably the only person on these boards that generally is not interested in so called "special features"(with some exceptions such as Cold Mountain) I hesitate to buy again.

Digital Bits review is up
I'd have to agree with Bill that the more I look into the extras, the more I'd wish they'd really pulled out all the stops for the geek-completist (esp. for the MSRP).

The quality of what actually holds the discs in place seems to be going down though.

Ah, thanks Mike, I was struggling with the scale of this thing. But it looks like it will fit nicely with my storage.

Yeah - I don't like that.
At least the total size is consistent with other DVD packaging.
