TOS-R on HD-DVD....the case!
- Thread starter RAMA

I bet it's easier breaking into Fort Knox then getting the HD-DVDs out of there.
This is Paramount for ya. They price the sets well out of the reasonable zone, but "make up for it" by having a pain in the ass case which looks "kewl." Not for anything, but I actually preferred the original series DVDs that came out one volume at a time. It was so much easier to get to the episode I wanted.
But have you worked out the total price for the people who collected all of the twin-packs? 
How long before someone on this forum will have to use tools to open the case?

Well, in my case, I bought them twice. I sold them off to buy the box sets then found I'd actually liked the individual volumes. So I bought them again, but at a substantial discount.
The season 1 HD-DVD box set has an MSRP of $217.99.
And no, I didn't insert the decimal in the wrong place and add an extra 9.

Like all other Trek series, I will throw away the case and put the discs in a much smaller (and more efficient) DVD sleeve.
I really hate it when DVDs are released in packaging that requires you to open one box, remove a sleeve, remove another box, remove ANOTHER fucking sleeve, etc. etc. *mad* like (for example) the original TOS discs were.
And I also hated the TNG ones, which require about 5 folds before you can get to the discs.
Is there some reason why they can't do what L&O releases have been doing, with the larger boxes containing individual DVD cases within them that can be taken out individually?
I'm not sure about that one. The link assumes that the two-packs must be of higher quality because there's fewer episodes on a disc (vs. the season packs). But the two-packs were not dual layer, whereas the season packs are, so there is plenty of room on the season packs for excellent quality.

by the way this is only the 'preliminary design' the final may be different

* I'll pass 'till the price comes down to something I can afford without starveing myself to death or something *
Will there be a blu-ray version as the only HD type player I have is a PS3?
Have you looked at the link though? That seems fairly conclusive to me.
Doesn't look like it. Paramount and Dreamworks have just announced that they've going exclusively with HD-DVD, which pretty much dashes any hope of the high def format war ending anytime soon.
I have looked at it, and I don't agree.
