Remastered Trek Due On HD DVD

Be Sure and go thru the Search bar on top of the page to enter Amazon as it will help the site.

I didn't realize SatelliteGuys had an Amazon Sales Associate ID, or noticed the Search Bar w/ an Amazon search on it before.

I edited my post & this link to the Star Trek: TOS Season HD DVD with the Satelliteguys Sales Associate ID generated using the search bar.

(An Amazon Sales Associate ID generates a small commission to the originating web site at no add'l. cost to the customer. So, we're helping support Satelliteguys by using it. )

We Appreciate it... it helps keep the lights on

You guys need to publicize these things a little better...... I would be happy to help SatGuys pay the bills if I knew about the sites you had these arrangements with....

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have been working on a new Amazon store for us, but things have been VERY busy around here as of late. I will get to it ASAP.

Looks like Paramount / Toshiba cross marketing is in full swing. From Cedia -

Announced yesterday at CEDIA, the two companies say fans who buy both a Toshiba HD DVD player and the upcoming 'Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 1' HD DVD/DVD combo release will be offered an exclusive, limited edition Star Trek Phaser remote control that will operate Toshiba's HD DVD players. Though details on exactly how the Phaser remote will be distributed and at what cost (if any) are unknown, the unusual promotion is the latest in a series of developments that would seem to put the Nov 10 'Star Trek' HD DVD release at the center of the HD DVD camp's Q4 plans.

Hopefully there will another option to purchase the remote without having to also buy a new player - 'cause I am so all over that remote.

Digital Dude is at Cedia for SatelliteGuys... maybe when he check in we can get him to check...

I was going to post about that remote. I just saw it here.

I think it's pretty slick marketing. Here's a side by side pic of the remote and the original prop used on the TV series.

But I kinda like mine with the PR lady demoing it better.

FWIW - for those who have the Amazon 10% discount from last year - it's working now. I placed my order and got it for $125.05.

I have it ordered but may have to cancel it once the details about the phaser are known.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Buyu.com has it for $129.99 now as well.... There are coupons out there to knock another $5 or $10 off of that as well....

Wow, that is SOME spread between street price and MSRP....

 

[JonUrban]

Just ordered it AND Battlestar Galactica through the SatGuys Affiliate link!

This HDDVD boxed set is the reason I went out and bought an HD-DVD player. I sure hope this format wins the stupid war.

 

[BobMurdoch]

That's one of the reasons I like the XBox 360 player.... $200 was a cheap entry point. Worst case scenario, if BluRay wins, I go grab a combo player so I can watch the titles I've already bought well into the future....

I still feel that HD DVD is the better format. No region coding, easier to code, and cheaper to manufacture (which should eventually drive costs down)...

 

[GaryPen]

Actually, the standalone players are barely more than $200. (I believe those 360 add-ons are well under $200 now.)

 

[BobMurdoch]

I know, they had a price drop.... I bought one the day they came out last Christmas.....

How bout them Mets, Gary?

It's 1988 all over again. A team this powerful and they fall short of the mark again. (How does a team with Shawn Green as their #8 hitter not score 10 runs a night)

 

[GaryPen]

They haven't fallen short just yet. But, they sure are headed there!

Now I know what Red Sox fans feel like every year.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Seriously.....
