You can choose which version you want with these Chris -- flip from the old versions to the new versions. The price is right and the Steelbooks are very attractive
The Star Trek Original Series BLu-Ray release has, admittedly,
always had technical issues with some players. With the previous standalone release a lot of people reported issues and I experienced a freeze on my Panasonic player. I put the disc in my backup Sony and it worked fine (I have 2 players hooked up to keep mileage off the Panasonic 4K machine!). That kind of thing has long been prevalent.
When I received this new Steelbook set I went to the glitchy sequence and it was fine even on the Panasonic, so even though the disc content has never changed, you are getting a newer pressing that (hopefully) has fewer glitches than the other versions.
My only real gripe was the episode list is on a tiny piece of paper on the outside...I scanned it and blew it up slightly, then put a copy in each steelbook.
