Reddit reviews Star Trek: The Complete Original Series (Seasons 1-3) [Blu-ray]

> I really, really want them, but I know they're going to come out with a complete box set after the 7th, and that'll come down to $99.

I know TOS is only 3 seasons, but Paramount didn't release a complete series box set for those Blu-rays (you can buy all three seasons together on Amazon... but there's no box and there's nothing extra included). So... don't hold your breath.

I got the ST:TOS blu-rays for $50-60 each, I waited for sales on amazon and got 1 as a Christmas gift. Consider the number of episodes for each season, 29,26,24 plus bonus content and that you can watch the original effects and the new effects and that the transfer from film is gorgeous it's an epic deal.
If you bought the first season at say the high price of $70, then you are paying roughly $2.40 an episode. So that is $2.40 for nearly an hours worth of entertainment and considering that you are going to re watch them the price goes down from there.
Now I looked at Buffy the vampire slayer slim sets for comparison and a 22 episode season was under $20, but that's a repackaged dvd set and the price has gone down on them, but Star Trek is going to stay relatively high due to demand and that it has such a fan base, kind of how it's hard to find a deal on Disney dvd's and blu-rays.
Watch Camelcamelcamel.com and you can find when the sets are at their lowest. I got mine separate but the 3 season set is a great deal.

show it was at a low of $143.49 back in December Which is under $50 a season.
I think the success of this release has paved the way for the Next Gen release which looks spectacular but I will be bargain hunting when they come out.
You can always stream netflix for all episodes of all series.

2. My friend is the biggest Star Trek nerd out there, so I'm hoping he will really enjoy this for his birthday. Being a Star Wars fan myself, I've got to think of something sneaky to put with it as well
