On Tuesday, which version of ST:XI will you buy?

We're going to get 1 single disk as a gift to a friend who loves the film but we know doesn't care for special features.

We're getting the 2 disk DVD for use now AND 1 - 3 disk BD set for when we finally do our upgrade (which has been on hold due to uncertainty over which BD player/HDTV to purchase. :confused: )
 
Haven't decided. I've not even seen the differences between all the different versions.
Basic question: do you just want the movie plain & simple?
Single disk.
If you want more, that's where the decisions must be made.
My thing is deleted scenes. Other peeps like featurettes, commentary & stuff.
 
I love the DVD commentaries. The commentary with Jonathan Frakes on the First Contact blu-ray is hilarious and well worth listening. :lol:

Mr_Whatsit and I are talking about treating ourselves to a Blu-Ray player instead of exchanging Christmas gifts this year, so I want to be ready.

We did that. We opened it early :0

I've had the two-disk DVD version for almost a fortnight now.

I've had the 3 disc bluray set for almost 3 weeks (26/10). :p

What's the use of buying a dvd that doesn't have commentary?

Even the one disc set has a commentary, if you believe trekmovie.com (it looks like they copied from some pr blurb:

The single-disc DVD includes the commentary, “A New Vision” and the gag reel.

I think very few people listen to those.

I'm very few then. :D

I do.

Me too. I find them very interesting to liten to as some things are mentioned that are not mentione in the featurettes etc.

As of which to purchase, well, the 3-disc BD is a must, to get ready for my blu ray player that i will eventually buy, but for now itll the two disc dvd.
 
My local CVS (as usual) is breaking street-date & selling Trek right now. But it's the single disk AND it's $24.99.
No thanks- I'll wait.
 
Our local Target just dropped their price for the 3 Disc w/ Enterprise Blu-ray case to $24. I swear on Tuesday morning at 8 AM, I will be freezing my rear end off waiting to get that movie! :lol:

I've pre-ordered the 2-disc DVD from Amazon. I'd love to get the Blu-Ray, but I don't have a Blu-Ray player. I probably won't get one until they offer one that will play every format my $40 Philips plays (I can't live without DivX compatibility, me).

That said, I am DROOLING over all the featurettes on the Blue-Ray set :( Particularly anything involving Gaila.
