    Eh... looks like they've fallen prey to the same mistake of most Trek games (as I suspected by one of the previous posts here), which is that the battles are too fast and the ships all handle like fighter jets. Absolutely no strategy involved, and not much in the way of tactics either. Just blast away until the other guy blows up, which seems to take about five seconds. Sorry, that's just not Star Trek. There's a place for games like that, but the Star Trek universe isn't it. #startrekonline

    @badasscat: Having played Bridge Commander and a few other ST games that are "slower" I can say they would translate poorly into an MMO game. Espically if your going for the customization that the game is reaching for, having upgrading all ur shit would mean instant win when it comes to a slower paced game from what i could imagine. #startrekonline

    I'm surprised there isn't more fan complaint for a Star Trek media product. Say what you will about gamers, but Trekkers are insanely more picky and always want more, more, more! ...despite how much they love to complain about their franchise is dying. #startrekonline

    man why is Transformers 2 SO hated, if you take it for what it is, its a great movie about alien robots beating the living hell out of each other. you have two hot females and SOME funny parts(although my biggest negative about the movie was the amount of forced humor). i certainly dont understand the hyperbole i hear about "WORST MOVIE EVER" or "DESTRUCTION OF CINEMA". #xbox360

    Wow, movie on a USB?
    Thats kinda lame.
    It'll be so wrapped up in DRM it'll be worthless.
    At least DVD is fairly universal, and you can rip it to a USB stick if you want.
    Anyway I'm getting Star Trek on Blu-Ray. cos it's so a film worth having on Blu-ray. (and it'll be easier to spot R2D2 in HD)
    Transformers 2 I think I'll pass.
    at least until I develop a high speed DVD firer, then I can shoot polycarbide discs at Labeouf n Fox at speeds that may embed in their skulls. the impeding brain damage may improve their acting skills. #xbox360

    @flanker22: Star Trek's VFX is done by ILM. Same with Transformers.,
    And they sneak R2 D2 into as an Easter Egg..
    As of yet he's not been found in Star Trek.
    (I'm a VFX Student not a dumbass ;)

    And as 32GB drives are still astronomically priced I doubt they will be in HD quality. Unless they stick it on a smaller drive n rape the moveis with a harsh codec to make it fit, in which case you may as well get the DVD version. #xbox360

They should have also done a PS3 one with the Blu-Ray, a Blu-Ray controller and a card to download Star Trek DAC. Maybe throw in a premium Star Trek dynamic theme. #xbox360

    What scene is that? I can hardly make out anything in Transformers films, even when they are standing still...

    Also, after a quick google, and sorry if this spoils the fun...

    "During the Drill Machine sequence as the Enterprise comes out of its barrel role amidst destruction of the other Federation ships above Vulcan, we cut to an interior Enterprise bridge over the shoulder of Kirk that is looking out through the front viewscreen. In space, R2-D2 is floating in the debris from about the top middle of the screen to the bottom right."

    @Maverick128: "Unlimited viewing on registered devices" - Eww. Said it'd be wrapped up in DRM. And 1GB ties it up in the realm of SD.
    It's like the Digital Copy stuff that comes with Blu-Ray. I guess its easier than ripping a Blu-Ray then shrinking it so you can fit it on a PMP, but still a bit icky in the DRM it's tied up with.
    Actualyl with it using DivX it should be possible to watch on a PS3. I know You can register your PS3 for some DivX DRM thing. Think it came with FW2.30 or something. Just turn it on the menu like you do for WMV/WMA playback. #xbox360

    But yes I played a bit. Though only a few rounds (and everyone carries on choosing the train wreck, I much prefer lost city)

    Transformers 2 is the worst film i've seen in at least 10 years. It actually made me angry while I was watching it. I hate it.

    On the flip side I absolutely loved the new Star Trek film. They completely reinvented the franchise, while at the same time staying true to the old stuff (in a very clever way), and the film also payed countless homages to the old stuff. There are just too many references to count :).

    I also <3 the new Enterprise. I was worried they'd completely butcher it. Thunderbirds film style. But I was suprised to see it stayed mostly faithful to the old ones.

    And what is ironic is that both films had the same writers.

    PS That is one awesome Star Trek box. I love the half built enterprise.
