That is awesome. Even though I did just buy 2 copies of each original out on vhs at local tag sales because I was afraid they would never come out with them uncut on dvd ^.^
Thanks large for the heads up, Ben! Luckily, at the moment I'm able to spare the cash (which doesn't happen often) so I could deny myself no longer and splurged to get all three seasons (just to make sure I had the original version before it's completely replaced by the hi-def-facelift version).
Star Trek's kind of funny. If you're any kind of fan, you really want to have the original series just because it's classic and it's where the franchise began. For the rest of it though, there's so much of it (29 total seasons including the original three) that you'd have to be rediculously, ludicrously hardcore to even think about trying to collect it all. For myself, I'd like to get Deep Space Nine as that's my favorite of the modern Trek shows (if the price on those would ever come down) but beyond that I'd only get maybe one or two seasons of Next Gen and one or two seasons of Voyager. I wouldn't bother with Enterprise since what I've seen of it has been disappointing. Not terrible, but not up to the level of the previous shows and certainly not something I would spend money on.

I used to have all 40 two-episode Star Trek: TOS discs, and had barely started watching them, when the full series sets were announced. I sold the lot on eBay for $800, making most of my money back. I actually liked the packaging on them, but they took up too much shelf space.
