somehow I am not suprised by this. Although it is kinda cool, except for the price.

Paramount DVDs are some of the most over-priced out there. Sure it's got a nice box and some nice extras, but it's also twice as much as shows with as many episodes and only a little less extras. The only thing I can think of that is comparable would be anime, and I think that is higher priced because of the cost associated with import and everything.

I might only buy it if it's cheaper than getting everything seperately, and I can pull enough cash in one shot. But other than that, who is really going to buy it.

I wouldn't go for the MegaCube, mainly because I wouldn't buy every season. I'll probably ask for Season 3 as a Christmas present, and maybe seasons 4 and 2 if I'm feeling particularly Trekkish later on.

As it is I think I'd be more interested in getting my hands on the first season of Seaquest.

Well I can finaly get the TNG DVDs for cheaper. I wanted the complete series and the cost that Paramount was charging per season was absurd. This drops the price significantly.

Jesus, 500 Pounds is a lot for a set like that. 500 US Dollars, maybe, but pounds? That's like 750 bucks, isn't it?

Yikes that's about 100 dollars for one season. Maybe 70-85ish but 100?!!~Jason
Edit: Yes it's !750 USD

Actually, it's easy to flame Paramount but the real problem is the legions of Trekkies who are willing to pay these ridiculously overinflated prices. As long as they're willing to pay, Paramount would be foolish not to jack the price.

Well as far as I can tell this is not out in the US yet so it is hard to tell what the Us Price of it will be but 500 pounds is about equal to 1000 dollors

I wouldn't worry so much for two reasons:

1) DVD's are almost always cheaper here than in the UK. I've heard that this set will run for < $600 when it comes out.

2) Figure that you can shave at least $100 off by shopping around and checking out ebay.

That means $500 for several hundred episodes of Trek. Not a bad deal if you ask me; certainly not the extortionist rates of anime.

Except, I don't think it is just Star Trek that has the high prices. It seems to affect a lot of their releases.

Goddam, that is really cool. I am not paying that price for it though... Good lord that is expensive! You have to admit that it's a cool set!

According to The Digital Bits, Paramount has no plans to release the set in Region 1, making it an R2 only release.

Does it come with pictures of female Voyager cast members and a box of Kleenex?

They're too cheap to include a box. It's one of those little pocket-pack things.

Maybe they'll be included with the Voyager sets when they start releasing them in February.

Hmm..

The Borg MegaCube, the ultimate DVD collection, contains the Complete Star Trek: The Next Generation series 1- 7 across 48 discs and is strictly limited to just 1000 numbered copies worldwide.

449 pounds for the set comes out to 750 dollars and change American... or 107 dollars a season. That's insane.
