Set Your HD-DVD Player on Stun; Get a Limited Edition "Star Trek" Phaser Remote Control

Earlier I wrote about the Star Trek: The Original Series (ST: TOS) first season hybrid HD DVD / DVD boxed set. Although I mentioned that the boxed set managed to enhance the visual effects, while maintaining the corniness, there's something else geeks, er, fans mulling over a purchase should consider: you could get a limited edition Phaser remote control.

Purchasers of the boxed set and any Toshiba HD DVD player can receive a free limited edition ST:TOS Phaser, retail value $69.94, remote by mail. The offer runs from November 20, 2007 to February 29, 2008.

The remote is pre-programmed to work with any Toshiba HD-DVD player.

As we said previously, what Trekker, er, Star Trek aficionado would be withou the first season in HD-DVD anyway. This just gives you more impetus to buy.
