I don't think releasing it months late on PS3 and PC is really going to get them many more sales...

-Less competition on PSN
-Cost to port it may be minimal, ROI will be great
-These sorts of games don't cost a lot to make. Break even points for many is 30-50K units. If it sells only 20K on XBLA, it might get another 25K on PC and PS3 combined.

Hey! That's just like the movie!

The combat system, a very x-wing like style, is better then advertised and plays slightly better on a 2d plane verses a first person view. The tactics of it are actually enjoyable.
but agreed, it isn't... star trekie enough. and is very limited in gameplay styles.

I haven't tried it yet, but I laugh in the face of people who think this could've actually been anything above a mediocre game.

I would buy a Devil May Cry clone where Dante is replaced with Shatner-Kirk and the enemies with Klingons.
The rest can stay the same.

The Kotaku article stated it was 800 points.

Hopefully this isn't a pricing error on Microsoft's part a la Lode Runner. I'd definitely grab Blazing Birds for 400 but only if it stays that cheap to ensure a decent about of people to squash on-line with my mad angry futuristic unicycle badminton skills with a "Z."

Overzealous lighting design aside, I can't really complain much about any missteps the Abrams & co. made since I think Fry's description of the original series on Futurama was pretty accurate:
"You know, 1966, 79 episodes...about 30 good ones."
But finally getting around to the Kobayashi Maru related point (spoiler-ish?): I was actually a little disappointed in the way Kirk's cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test went down in the movie. I was hoping for something a little subtler, like basically just hacking the ships' stats, instead of having the test break down in the middle and reboot, and magically the Klingons are defenseless. Of course, it takes place in alternate reality, so maybe altKirk just lacked the subtlety that oldKirk would have used. That's why oldKirk got a commendation for thinking outside the box, whereas altKirk got a court hearing (probably owing largely to his insufferably douchey attitude rubbing the instructors the wrong way).

Or at least have the decency to dedicate a full line notating 'SPOILER' in bold, all caps, so as not risk anyone who may have missed the shitty shitty spoiler warning ("spoiler-ish?", c'mon, give me a break) that you placed in you post. Below is a example of how a spoiler warning is done right (if you must insist on spoiling things for everyone else).
**** SPOILER BELOW ****
See. Piece o'cake. Even a 2-year old chimp with half a shred of decency could do that, and spare some poor soul out there all manner of agony.
