I very much agree. I love the standard dvd set of the 10 movies. I would love to get the set on blu-ray, but only if it had the same versions of each movie along with all of the extra features. I like the extended versions. I don't see why they couldn't do both versions on the blu-rays if they used seamless branching. Even if there wasn't any new features, and it was just a carry-over from the standard dvds, I'd buy a blu-ray set for the simple reason of the anti scratch coating they put on the discs. (I've had several of my favourite movies/shows pick up terrible skipping because of scratches that didn't seem to be all that bad) That said, I will probably one day end up re-buying every one of my dvds in blu-ray, but to start, I'll only get my absolute favourite movies and pick up the rest later. Like with the Doctor Who dvds. I buy the Dalek stories first, then after that, whatever looks good.

because the special effects for the extended versions of these movies were done on video in 480p so they have to go back and essentially redo all the special effects for the additional scenes.

keep in mind also there are those of us who perfer owning the original theatrical versions of films, and quite frankly iam excited i can finally for the first time on any home video format own star trek vi in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2:35:1 and the original theatrical edition of the motion picture.

Only the first movie has new VFX, which were rendered at 480p as you say. The extended versions of ST2 and ST6 don't have any new FX.

Agreed. I'm one of those rare people who prefers the theatrical cut of TMP to the Director's Edition.

I am in the minority as I REALLY enjoy TMP. I prefer the DC to the TC and would have preferred that had been released as opposed to the TC on BD.

I just picked up the 6 movie set at Fry's this weekend for $59.99. That's a bargain no matter how you look at it, extended cuts or not. The round table "Summit" conversation disc is a terrific bonus...

I prefer the TV Version to either of them.

How does Fry's consistently have the most insane deals!?? I want one in my area!

I know, it's ridiculously unfair. I need a Fry's/Costco double-punch-knock-out of Best Buy/Sam's.

I know I'm a little late to the game, but....

Regarding the extras:
Has anyone confirmed if the text commentary is indeed included in Library Computer access feature?

Josh Z

Library Computer is an interactive trivia interface where you can select which parts of scenes to learn more about. There is no 1:1 corresponding "Turn on text commentary" feature, but most (if not all) of the info from the text commentary is also covered in Library Computer, just packaged differently.

Thanks for the info.
