Star Trek Con Coverage Now on BD-Live

Let me see if I’ve got this right. CBS Home Entertainment tells me, if you own the new Star Trek: The Original Series Blu-Ray DVD (which streeted on April 28, 2009), you can use that disc right now to access a daily feed from FEDCON, Europe’s largest Star Trek Convention.

More than 5,000 fans will get together in Bonn, Germany to celebrate their favorite series over the weekend and you can join them virtually. Apparently, all you have to do is sign up for BD-Live over at CBS, then insert your Blu-Ray discs into your computer and you’ll be granted access to all sorts of FEDCON goodies including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, talent interviews with Star Trek stars such as Nichelle Nichols and more.

How cool is that? I don’t have a Blu-Ray player (yet!) so if you do and you’ve got the new Star Trek: The Original Series DVD, try this out and then come and tell us about it. The FEDCON feed is only available from now until May 3, so don’t miss it!
