Hey... more great Star Trek news today! Paramount has finally announced the DVD release of Star Trek: The Original Series - The Complete First Season for 8/31. The 8-disc set (no SRP, but expect the price to be about $100) will include all 29 episodes of the show's first year in broadcast order (full frame video with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio). Extras on the first season will include the The Birth of a Timeless Legacy featurette (on how the show began), the Life Beyond Trek: William Shatner featurette (an interview with the actor who played Kirk on how the show has affected his life), the To Boldly Go... featurette (a discussion with cast and crew members on key episodes of the season), the Reflections on Spock featurette (a similar interview with actor Leonard Nimoy on how the role has influenced him), the Sci-Fi Visionaries featurette (on some of the famous Sci-Fi writers that have contributed to the series), original preview trailers for each episode and a photo 'log' (gallery). All these extras are contained on the 8th disc. In addition, the episodes Where No Man Has Gone Before, The Menagerie, Part I, The Menagerie, Part II and The Conscience of the King will all feature text commentary by Michael and Denise Okuda.
Click the link above and scroll down for packaging pictures. I'll just say now that I really hope the outer case isn't required for storage, because it sure is ugly...

The case is exactly the same as it is for the R2 release.
Way back when the DS9 S1 set was announced and the box art revealed, someone here on the board said something around the lines of that Paramount must be trying to see how much uglier they can get the box art with each series.

I can only imagine what the ENT-sets will look like.
