Trek to New York for HD DVD Giveaway
November 6, 2007

Trekkies, listen up! Virgin Megastores' two New York locations will be handing out free Toshiba HD DVD players to early bird buyers of the Star Trek HD DVD/DVD combo set. 
On the title's Nov. 20 street date, Virgin Megastores Times Square location will award the first 120 buyers of the $199-priced Star Trek a free Toshiba player, plus a free goodie bag containing a tribble character, vintage cast poster and free themed magazine. The Toshiba model isn't specified, but it is valued at $299, indicating it could be the third gen HD A3 player. The Times Squre store opens at 9 a.m. 
If you end up missing that worm,  you can try your luck at the Union Square Virgin, which opens at 11 a.m. There, the first 30 customers who buy the Star Trek set will likewise get the free Toshiba player and the same goodie bag.
As a consolation prize to early-ish shoppers, Virgin is handing out hundreds of goodie bags across the two New York stores to buyers of Star Trek HD DVD-DVD combo set.  Here is a full list of the details at the official Star Trek Web site. 
And if you're really, really late arriving at the stores, it couldn't hurt to try pleading your case in Klingon costume!
