Now you'll not only be able to see the Duct Tape holding the sets together, you'll be able to see what brand the tape is! 
They'll also be releasing the Trek Movies on BD.

Due on Blu-ray April 28 is "Star Trek: The Original Series -- Season One." The seven-disc set includes all 29 episodes from the landmark 1966-67 season of the seminal science fiction series, with the option for viewers to toggle between the original broadcast versions and the recent remastered versions that include enhanced visual effects.

Hopefully, the version with the original effects will be HD. Although most of the new CGI effects are unobtrusive, several of them are jarring and obviously do not fit in with the general look of the show. I have seen some of the new effects because the show was broadcast in HD on a local TV station last year. Based on that, I bought the remastered DVD version that has the original effects, as I do not like the new effects. It was, however, nice to see the show more detailed than I ever saw it before (or since on my DVDs). So, after it comes out, if reviews of it indicate that they did a good job with the version with the original effects, I will consider buying it again. But not right away, as I do not want to pay what Paramount will undoubtedly charge at first. They know how to bleed their fans dry with selling them the same thing over and over again, with prices of new releases being ridiculously high.
