Star Trek: TNG The Complete Series Box Set

All you Trekkies out there, get ready: I just found out that Star Trek: The Next Generation is being delivered on October 2nd in its entirety, plus lots of special features. Of course, if you're a Trekkie, you 1) probably already knew about this release decades in advance, 2) already own each individual season box set and 3) have saved up your allowance to buy the same episodes again anyway.

I'm a fan, but perhaps not that much of a fan to spend $440 USD for 176 episodes of a television show, and unfortunately, Paramount isn't even doing review copies for the release (surprise, surprise).
