Did you ever wish you could get all the Star Trek TV shows and movies in one, easy to use DVD collection? Well, now you can! For the low, low price of $2500 from Amazon (36% off list price no less), you can buy The Ultimate Star Trek Collection.
Now, I'm not sure what's worse. Someone who would plunk down the $2500 to buy this or the reviewers who argue this isn't the 'ultimate' collection because the animated series isn't included. How much of a fanboy do you have to be to shell out that many clams for more Star Trek than you can stomach? This is just unbelievable.

The Animated series was certainly better than Voyager...

But wait - you didn't list out all the particulars.
There are a total of 212 discs.
2 disc-sets of every film, including directors cuts and commentary tracks.
Every season of every TV show (save the aforementioned animated show) for a total of 700+ episodes (I didn't do an exact count.)
Assuming each eipsode lasts 45 minutes (sans commercials) that's about 550 hours of programming. Note, if you watched 4 episodes per night, it woulod take you 6 months to watch all the shows.
There's probably a total of 50 hours of extras in interviews and behind the scenes stuff.
I'd wager you have over 620 hours of content to watch if you bought this monstrosity. Yikes!

no animated series = not ultimate.
i bet they didn't even include the 30th anniversary special either. i've been trying to get my hands on that for years.
