The Star Trek 3-Disc Digital Copy Special Edition will be released on Blu-ray disc, in the US, on November 17, 2009. This three-disc set contains the theatrical release of Star Trek (XI), bonus material including the BD Live feature "NASA News", a digital copy of the movie, and the Star Trek D-A-C free trial game. The discs are packaged in a blue case inside a white cardboard slipcase.
If your Blu-ray player is BD-Live ready (or if you watch the DVD on your computer), you can access the NASA News BD-Live feature. The menu gives you the top ten news stories from NASA and selected daily NASA images. Today, it was an image of the Palmer Station in Antarctica taken from NASA's DC-8 fly-over during Operation Ice Bridge. Unfortunately, there's no option to save the image.
The movie itself is great. It's action-packed from the beginning to the end. I liked the SFX and the attention to detail of the ships and shuttles. Every button and ship action was accompanied by a sound familiar with the Original Series.
Disc 2 has the special features To Boldly Go, Casting, A New Vision, Starships, Aliens, Planets, Props and Costumes, Ben Burtt and the Sounds of Star Trek, Score, Gene Roddenberry's Vision, Deleted Scenes, Starfleet Vessel Simulator, Gag Reel, and Trailers. Given the title Starfleet Vessel Simulator, I thought it was some sort of flight simulator. Instead, it's an exterior ship inspection of the USS Enterprise and the Romulan mining vessel Narada.
Disc 3 contains 3 digital copies of the movie. One is a 720 x 300, 1.3 GB WMV file, for playback on the PC; another is a 320 x 136, 537 MB WMV file; and the other is a 1.8 GB file for iTunes. The first two require a download code input prior to playback.
This disc also contains a weblink to the Star Trek D-A-C free game trial for the PC, XBox 360, and Playstation Network. The game isn't available for download until November 12th.
The bottom line is I recommend getting this 3-disc set as opposed to the single-disc version. The 3 free game trials and 3 digital copies of the movie are well worth the extra $11.
