So is anyone else getting multiple versions. I'm getting the pewter Enterprise one from Amazon, and the badges from Best Buy. I'm trying to resist the urge to get the Target Enterprise-case, but I want to see it first. The steelbook version is also tempting.

Is the steelbook version a sturdier case?

Is the steelbook version a sturdier case?

It depends. If it's like the Disney steelbooks, they are pretty sturdy. Here's a pic of the one for "Up." If it's like this, I'd want it. But there's other ones that are kinda crappier.

I have preorder w/ Amazon, but that means they will only ship release date, and I get days later.

You can get it delivered on the release day..

Oh, yeah; that looks sturdy. I guess you have to see it first.

During the commentary of the deleted scenes, Abrams hinted that we may well see Klingons in the sequel. There is also more of the Kobayashi Maru test explaining further how Kirk cheated the test.

"Trek" flicks have always had the same problem with their villains: they all get compared to Ricardo Montalban's Khan from "The Wrath of Khan."

AUDIO 5.1 mix:

There are times when the special aural effects and background music can somewhat drown out voices and dialogue, but such times are thankfully few.

Late to the thread.

I just read the track listings and I'm pissed! All the GOOD behind the scenes features (production art, prop design, etc) are on the BluRay. The 2-disc DVD version only has the stupid talking heads actor/director crap!

 

[ST-One]

Haha!

Something amuses you?

Yeah, the whining of a certain poster...

Don't know what you spending too much time listening to yourself has to do with the topic...

Well Paramount Home Video had to have something to put on the Special Collector's Edition DVD in a few years since they are so well known for getting Trek fans to double dip, er quadruple dip (on TOS).

What annoys me is the fact that my brother's Mercedes has more features than my Ford Focus.

 

[GhostFaceSaint]

Well it is a luxury car after all, its some of the things people pay extra for when they buy a luxury car.

 

[shadowedgalaxy]

The DVD art is incredibly... boring. How many times are they going to reuse the same pictures? *makes custom cover*

 

[GhostFaceSaint]

Yeah, but that would cost money, which if they feel they don't need to they won't spend, besides you have to get an approved budget from the studio for that sort of thing and they would just ask; why? When they feel they already have artwork for the film made.

DVD despatched today - I should probably have it by Saturday!

I'm rather confused. I saw at the shops today two "2-disc Special Edition" DVD sets, one with Nero on the cover, the other with Kirk, Spock and Uhura. The former cost $30, and the latter $25, but the features listed on the back were absolutely identical. There was no indication whatsoever as to what justified the price difference (unless I missed something very obvious).

Here in Australia, JB HiFi is offering the regular two-disk DVD (cover art with Kirk, Spock and Uhura), plus for a few dollars more each, three different collectible cardboard sleeves over the same DVD set: one has Kirk, one Spock and one Nero.

For other various releases, they sometimes have a lenticular cover insert, or a tin container. This time it's three different over-sleeves.

They also have a boxed set that comes with a plastic Enterprise model. I thought it would be like the "Get Smart" shoephone, where the two DVDs were already in the novelty holder, but in the Star Trek pack, there's a normal two-disc DVD with the regular cover art inside the box. It's your choice to put the discs inside the starship model, after you assemble it.
