Amazon’s Video Game Deal of the Day today (March 9, 2010) is sure to please those dying to explore the final frontier. Both the standard and collectors editions of Atari’s Star Trek Online, the MMO inspired by Star Trek, are greatly discounted. Plus, both still cost just enough to qualify for free Super Saver shipping!

If you just want the typical Star Trek Online experience, the standard version of the game is $27.99 today, while supplies last. You pretty much just get the game with this edition, which normally costs $49.99. If you’re a real fan, you can get the Star Trek Online Collector’s Edition for $47.99 and get the game, a hardcover manual, an art book, 10 day game trial guest passes, a Red Matter Capacitor for your in-game ship and uniforms from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for your characters. All that would normally cost you $79.99!

Those who buy Star Trek Online at Amazon today could think of it this way - they’d be getting their first month of playing free. A one month subscription to Atari’s MMO costs $14.99, and you’re saving $22 on the standard version and $32 on the collector’s version. Actually, if you get the collector’s version you could lie to yourself and pretend you’ve almost gotten a $41.97 three month subscription for free.
