I have a standard DVD player. I knew the enhanced (new FX shots and graphical tidy-ups) had been released recently and wanted to start getting them thru Netflix. I put two 2 of the 1st season discs in my queue, and they just arrived today. Alas they are the older discs, and not the enhanced ones. So I went back to Netflix’s site, set my preferences to HD-DVD (because the new enhanced discs are double sided dual purpose, so I can still watch them in the old DVD format), but I cannot for the life of me locate them. Do I have to sacrifice a virgin and do a funky little dance to find out where Netflix is hiding them, or am I just dense? ---

I don’t think these have been released on DVD yet. I don’t think they have even finished refurbishing and airing all the original series episodes yet. ---

Nope, already out. Okay, I guess I’ll do what I should have done in the first place, and email an admin over at Netflix. ---

Yep, the first season is out; > **[Amazon.com: Star Trek: The Original Series: Season 1 (Remastered Edition) :...](https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Original-Season-Remastered/dp/B000VDDDY6)** > > Product Description Space. The Final Frontier. The U.S.S. Enterprise embarks on a five year mission to explore the galaxy. The Enterprise is under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. The First Officer is Mr. Spock, from the planet Vulcan.... I don’t see that Netflix has these yet though. There used to be a place on the Netflix site to click to request that they stock a DVD, but I looked for this recently and couldn’t find it. ---
