Star Trek (2009) To Be Available On Collector USB Flash Drive
In my closet at home I have two boxes full of old collectible plates with images of the old Star Trek series on them. Once you have finished laughing and making snide southern country boy jokes at my expense I will point out that they were investments, not love affairs with the franchise. Still, today when I saw a post over at Everything USB mentioning the upcoming release of the new Star Trek reboot will be available on USB stick I was intrigued.
Apparently starting November 17th you can get a special collectors edition USB key in the shape of a Star Trek logo that holds on it a standard definition DivX copy of the movie. It is DRM encrypted and can only be played on up to five different computers but apparently you can also burn it to DVD. Read the whole article to find out more, but they make a good point that the movie is only taking up around 1gig of the 4gig flash drive, so it would have been possible to throw out a Hi-Def version if they had wanted to.
Unable so far to find this available in the USA, but Amazon and other stores are preselling the Star Trek 2009 DVD and Star Trek 2009 Blu-Ray already. Looks like you get far more on the discs than you would with the simple little USB key so my money will probably be going for the discs.
