Just thought it might be of interest to some fans considering the last 3 'Complete Series' DVD boxsets TNG had are all out of print (and the most recent one, the 20th Anniversary, had terribly cheap packaging). And, considering the amount of time and money it would take to get the series in HD, DVD is gonna be as good as it gets for a while. (plus it looks from the Amazon page to just be the already-existing discs put into new packaging, so not struck from new masters or anything.)

I was in WHSmiths and saw (I think it was) on the back page of one of the magazines, that TNG was coming June, DS9 in July, Voyager in August and Enterprise in September. I assume this is just too DVD, no BR versions.

Anyway if they have already been released why are they re-releasing them, is this just as full series box sets like pictured above, cause I much prefer buying them as individual seasons cause it helps spread the cost out a little.

Some people like having them all in a big boxset, I generally much prefer to buy my TV shows like this... in fact, I try to avoid buying individual seasons until the whole thing is out, and I just watch them online/on TV until then.

Nice that the rest of them are coming out, I guess. The original DVD Complete Series boxsets of TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT are long out of print, though I have the DS9 one, I'm sure it'll be less collectable now! DS9 is already up for pre-order on a few websites, though no pictures yet (Amazon's one is an image of the US boxsets, and is obviously not final)

Figures since I just got done ripping the 3 box sets to mkv...managed to fit all 79 episodes plus 2 pilots onto 4 blu-rays. Hopefully the DTS is full 1510Kbps for all episodes of this new box set since Season1 box set was only at 755kbps DTS bit rate for the first 29 episodes. Audio was upgraded to full 1510Kbps DTS when Season2&3 box sets were released though...
