Ultimate Star Trek DVD Collection Released (2005)
By Chris Boylan
To Boldly Go Where No DVD Set Has Gone Before
Call it the ultimate
Star Trek gift, or a Trekkie's "Desert Island" DVD set. No matter what you call it, the new
Ultimate Star Trek Collection DVD Set will satisfy the die-hard Star Trek fan with hundreds of hours of Star Trek TV series, documentaries and feature films in one DVD collection.
The set features virtually all Star Trek material released on DVD to date, including special edition 2-DVD sets of all ten feature films and every episode of every live action Trek television series, from the original through
Enterprise. All that's missing is the animated series from the early 1970s (not yet available on DVD).
The price? A cool $2.5 Gs. And that's
the discounted price on Amazon.com. But hey, no one said the good things in life come easy (or cheap).
The Ultimate Star Trek Collection includes all of the films plus complete editions of all 5 series. It's available for
36% below list at Amazon.com.
Looking for something a little less comprehensive (and less pricy)? You can also buy the components of this set separately, including:
