No difference at all; the new, more basic packaging design was simply Universal's attempt to satisfy fans who were griping that the original 3-D Cylon head packaging was too cumbersome to shelve easily. They're right, but it's still way more wicked than the redone packaging and I'm glad I have it, problematic shelving issues aside.

I was thinking of getting the original release (cheaper at DDD anyway), just wanted to make sure the extras were the same(their sites dont list the same extras)
Thanks for the info : )

No, the one inside the head has no labeling, so if you put it on
a shelf as is, there is not text on the spine to identify it.

I like the Cylon head, I look over at it and say By Your Command all the time, I know it's lame but I wouldn't be doing that with the reg box set, it just something fun

Some quick help. I've grown tired of waiting for this series to drop in price, so I think I'm going to order the Region 2 set from amazon.co.uk. Does anyone have a comparison of R1 vs R2 for this?

I think the Cylon packaging is still available since that is the photo posted at Amazon and all the ebay sellers have pictures of the Cylon packaging.
Also I heard the DVDs are flippers ouch.

Re: Battlestar galactica ?
The DVDs are flippers. Gold on one side and Silver on the other to mark them, which is cool. Although one of my discs (#4 I think...to lazy to look) is misdone and so doesn't match up. Right eps but the gold and silver side are reversed.
I have the regular package and it is a very nice set with a large, colorful, booklet that tells about every episode. It is a VERY nice package.
I actually (gasp!) like this show more than the newer one. Mainly because it isn't as depressing. The new show is way to dreary for my tastes. Although, I also like camp sci-fi, which this is, so it is constantly making me go
Good show, though def overshadowed by the stellar remake.
