Blu Ray News - Star Trek: TNG Arrives on Blu Ray

-
Just in time to celebrate its 25th anniversary, legendary sci-fi series Star Trek: The Next Generation flies onto Blu Ray. On the 1st of August 2012, Aussie Trekkers will have their chance to own first season on HD Blu Ray about a month after our American counterparts.On about the 3rd of August, we will be watching it for the second time.

A friendly reminder to all geeks out there that to prepare for this monumental release you should ensure to make July a non-stop housework and/or socialising month. By doing so your parents, friends, work colleagues or significant others will be more lenient to your minimum 1183.86 minutes (that's only if you watch it once... and you won't) spent watch the glorious HD adventures of Picard, Riker, Gordi, Data, Troi and the gang.

Follow on after the jump for more info, all of the technical specs and most importantly, the price.

Make it so!

Intriguing?
