Battlestar Galactica: Complete Series Blu-ray Collection -- July 28th - Page 2

Sessa17 · 02-21-09, 03:14 PM

I'm gonna buy the shit out of this!

WMAangel · 02-21-09, 04:10 PM

I first put this in the thread in the regular DVD foum, before seeing there was one here about this news too, anyway, I want to know:

I am going to assume this complete series release will also include "Razor", since the DVD release of Season 4.0 included it....but I am wondering if this will include "The Plan" which is set to air a month or so before this is released....if not, then it won't truly be THE COMPLETE SERIES, and there better be a standalone release on Blu-ray of this last film!

Anyway, while I hope this isn't too expensive, who am I kidding, I'm buying it no matter what the frakin' price tag is!! This is one of the best shows of all time!!!

i will most likely not upgrade the entire series - i have been watching the SD releases upconverted, and to be honest, it is ok for me. at this point, i will only need season 4.5 and the caprica pilot.

I thought the same at first, but comparing my Season 1 HD DVD set to my Season one DVD's -- the difference is HUGE. It is actually a big improvement.

Totally agree with you man. The HD versions were a huge upgrade compared to the dvds.

Definetly give it a shot.

Flynn · 02-22-09, 01:09 AM

Hmmmm... own all the seasons on Standard Def DVD, and Season One on HD-DVD.... Not sure if I want to spend more money on this. May just wait until there's an incredible sale for this down the road... I'll want to revisit the series in a couple of years anyways...

kenbenobi · 02-23-09, 01:13 AM

I just bought 4.0 the other day, after still finding the BB exclusive. But now I'll return it, and try to sell my unopened 2.0, 2.5, and 3 (s1 is HD-DVD, which I guess I'll keep). I'd much rather have the HD versions... I never expected them to release all of the seasons on BD at once. This is awesome news!

I need to sell my set in the trade thread, but never get around to it.

If you enjoyed those series, as I did, I see no reason why you would not enjoy BSG, as I do.

TylerDurden_73 · 02-23-09, 10:14 AM

I recieved the seasons 1, 2.0,2.5 a couple of years ago and watched them them the first time last january. Awesome stuff. I bought season three watched that and kind of petered out half way thru. The story quality just wasn't the same as previous seasons. Don't get me wrong it had some good episodes, it just didn't hold my attention. I heard season four is a return to good stories so I am willing to wait till this complete series is released to finish the saga.

I'm going to spoiler tag this, because it is a bit off topic and does include spoilers:

Despite owning all of the BSG releases on DVD (including the standalone DVDs of the Miniseries and Razor), I am definitely planning to double-dip and pick up the Complete Series on Blu-ray!!! I have enjoyed the last two seasons in HD on the Sci-Fi channel and I would love to own them all in HD... Please, Universal, include The Miniseries, Razor, and The Plan in this set

I really hate your signature. That's totally not cool however, I agree with you!

packaok> dude!! change your signature -

bunkaroo · 02-25-09, 10:37 AM

Already sold my discs. Surprisingly they've held their value fairly well. I guess they've never had some of those blowout sales other series have had.

Amen. The HD DVD of Season 1 was just about the worst packaging I've ever seen.

stingermck · 02-25-09, 01:36 PM

I sold my DVD sets a few months ago, in anticipation for a complete set this year. This is even better.

I just saw his signature. It better not be true because I still have to see season four. I'll be so disappointed if I just had this ruined for me due to someone's signature!

pinata242 · 02-25-09, 01:52 PM

That quote does exist in the first episode of season 4.5. However, it is just a vision.

Moopher · 02-25-09, 01:54 PM

A spoiler is a spoiler.

pinata242 · 02-25-09, 01:55 PM

Agreed and totally not cool. I'm just trying to diffuse the situation in this thread. I've reported the post to mods to get attention to the sig.

Moopher · 02-25-09, 03:59 PM

Awesome! Sorry, didn't mean to be hostile sounding, my wisdom teeth are coming through and the agony is bleeding into my posting.

Suprmallet · 02-26-09, 01:58 PM

I've also heard the universal praise for BSG, and was sent the 1st season on HD DVD. I watched a few episodes and was not engaged at all. Also, I hate their season numbering system. Just number it like every other show, for god's sake.
