fyi you can get the region free TNG Complete Blu-Ray for like $70ish shipped from Amazon UK - and it occasionally drops to like $60ish shipped
again, region free, and has all the subtitles and available dubs too. source: own it
From what I've been able to find, the UK version and the US version are exactly the same discs in different packaging. The few minor errors made in the remastering (a blue light instead of a red light, a planet rotating in the wrong direction, those are the only 2 I can even remember) were not fixed and are so minor who really cares. The UK ones are region free, on Amazon the US ones are listed as region a but from what I've heard they're exactly the same as the UK ones so that may or may not be an error. I am in the US I bought the UK version from Amazon.UK which currently with shipping converts to $66. I Can verify they are region free and I've have watched through them and am perfectly happy with my purchase. If the Best Buy one is different than the regular US release I don't know anything about it, but I doubt anything significant is different. I suggest buying whichever is cheapest...
The UK one isn't better, its just cheaper for the same content.
I bought the UK version from Amazon.UK about a year ago. It is region free, I'm in the US and had no problems with it. On Amazon.UK its $56.54 after converting to USD and adding shipping. thats cheaper than either version on the US Amazon. When I heard about the US version coming out I did some googling and what I found suggested that the new US version is pretty much just a rebox of the same discs. the few minor errors weren't considered worth fixing for them. A light flashing blue instead of red when data takes over the enterprise, a planet rotating in the wrong direction, I can't even remember what the others were, but it's the kind of thing you only notice if you are informed about them ahead of time, or you obsessively scrutinize every tiny detail. Unfortunately I can't find the same info again to reference now. But since both versions are full series sets, and the UK one is region free and significantly cheaper, and even cheaper still if you buy it from Amazon.UK, my advice is buy the UK set from Amazon.UK and spend $42-$77 less on it. I've started checking Amazon UK for cheaper region free blurays before I buy the ones on the US Amazon, there are frequently cheaper identical or nearly identical sets on UK, just takes a little longer to get it delivered.
> it's probably just cheaper to go back to buying the DVDs of the shows you want to watch.
Unlikely. I get your point. it is getting silly as the market fragments but purchasing DVDs of entire series is expensive AF.

That is like 6 months of Netflix
Uglier box (IMO) on the EU one. Not ugly enough to pay extra for the US release though.
Also, the EU one is on Amazon as well, if you'd rather order from a site you know.
I bought the first one and it's region free so I bought it from England with US dollars and I'm watching it right now. Region free blu ray means it works everywhere. Not sure about the "digital copy" and that must be an error on Amazon's side as it has no digital copies. This is news to me they sell this based in America. It only has blu rays in it. No DVDs or digital copies.
They're the exact same discs but the American one is more expensive and is limited to one region and the case may be different, as the UK cases are really good and are better than the USA DS9 / Voyager cases by far.
See here for the UK listing where I bought it from for pictures:
Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 1-7 [Blu-ray] [Region Free]
I bought The Full Journey Box Set a few months ago when it was for sale for about $50... that deal was just too good to pass up. I'm happy with my purchase but the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. Price notwithstanding, I'd rather have the Complete Series box set that packed all the individual season releases together.
I can't tell you anything about how the 2 compare, I have the BluRays and haven't seen the Netflix version. A note on that price though..(Assuming you are in the US) If you buy it from the UK Amazon and ship it to the states it will cost you $67. Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 1-7 Blu-ray, Region Free at 54pounds adjust to US dollars and add shipping makes it $67 right now. This is the set I bought from Amazon.UK and shipped to the states. I'm on season 7 now and its great. And they are region free. And the US release is reported to contain the exact same discs with a different cover on the case. I am a little annoyed that when I bought it in January I paid $101 though.
If you don't mind UK box and labels, the whole set is currently US $89 at UK Amazon when shipped to USA (probably slightly more to Canada). The discs are exactly the same worldwide, with no region locking.
edit: seems the cheapest "sold by Amazon UK" listing is gone now, I guess they are out of stock and not yet sure if more will come. 3rd party sellers still sell it via the above link but with a higher price (still cheaper than in North America though).
I got this complete set from [amazon.co.uk](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Generation-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B00NQXC2YU/] - the price was very reasonable even including shipping (I don't live in the UK but in a EU country so no customs/import duty applies at least).
If they ever released DS9 on Blu Ray I would definitely buy the seasons seperately if released like that, as DS9 is my favourite Star Trek show (even though I love TNG)
I know this was posted a month ago, buuuuut this comes out to about $96 USD for the entire set. Region free. I just grabbed it, and am selling the seasons I already have to help cover it. I have S1, 4, and 6*, so by the end of it I'll end up getting the entire set for roughly $30!
*I know, that's weird. But I purchased ones that were on sale whenever I happened to see them.
Even Seasons 6 and 7 are much lower than they have been. I threw them all in my cart for a total of $285.37, then remembered that this item:
is $264.35. This was almost a smoking deal! Maybe they'll come down more in the coming months.
FYI, Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Complete Series Box Set- Season 1-7 [Blu-ray] is only $76.43 at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQXC2YU/
Buy from Amazon UK even if you are in a different country. Great Price! Great Box Set. Each Episode was re-mastered and the extras are awesome.

If possible, I suggest getting the PAL versions of the blu rays since they will work in all regions (yes, on your Blu Ray player too), and they are (comparatively) way cheaper. It's what I did.

US Sets: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Generation-Complete-Blu-ray/dp/B01BP06ENA
The same cannot be said for the companion sets for DS9 and VOY since those are still region locked DVDs

> And then the complete box set was maybe $200?
I bought the complete box set from here for £42 back in 2017.

I bought the UK Region Free Blu Ray set for less. I highly recommend it. Same discs as the American set I've heard.
