My prediction is that this will be the only Blu-Ray release of the theatrical versions of The Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country and any future releases that improve on the quality issues raised with the transfers of I and VI will be the extended/director's cut versions instead of the theatricals.

and it's a lowdown dirty shame if true.

It's the whole reason I decided to bring it up in this thread. The Trek films are just as near and dear to my heart as the OT. Undiscovered Country was one of the first movies I saw in a theater, which was one big reason I was so excited for the blu-ray as it's the first release of that version of the movie on home video ever.

Remember how we all felt after we got confirmation the OUT dvd was gonna be just the laserdisc transfer? Yeah, that's about how I'm feeling right now.

But C3PX is right, it looks like - just as with dvd - we'll have to wait for the double dips of the studios' big catalogue titles on blu-ray.
