It's not that the seasons are numbered as such, it is just for the DVD releases....Sci-Fi broke up the airing of seasons 2, 3, and 4 into two halves, then Universal released them funky by waiting to release season 3 all at once, but dividing up the even numbered seasons....

So I assume this will not contain The Plan since they have pushed that back to November? That sucks - so much for a complete BSG set on Blu-ray. Technically I suppose you get the television series, but it would be nice to be done with it so to speak.

Moopher · 03-23-09, 09:05 PM

One thing like that won't keep me from buying it on BD.

bunkaroo · 03-23-09, 09:16 PM

As long as The Plan is made available on Blu I'm fine with getting it in July.

Jason · 03-23-09, 09:34 PM

More info on the possibility of extended versions of several episodes.

Still no idea of a price for this bad boy though.

ENDContra · 03-24-09, 09:10 AM

Maybe they could at least leave an empty slot in the complete series, so one could buy that now and The Plan later and integrate them? Doubt that would happen, but Id be happy with that.

Me too, can't wait for the official announcement of this one....too bad about THE PLAN, but since it was pushed back until November, I'd rather get the series now and re-enjoy watching the whole thing and then spring for the additional disc later, rather than having to wait until December or something...

Just got $200 from the parents yesterday for my birthday that I am specifically holding onto for this set!

Amazon has it up for preorder: $244.99

Quite a chunk of change (not that I wasn't expecting it)...I'm wondering if the $349.98 is the actual "official list price" from Universal, and if so, will Amazon increase their discount percentage to at least 40% off.....was looking for something closer to two bills personally....

That's kinda the price I was expecting...

josh4040 · 04-18-09, 02:28 AM

That price makes me want to cry... No way in hell the wife will let me get away with buying it at that price.

GenPion · 04-18-09, 03:00 AM

What the-? $250? Are they serious? There's no way I'm paying more than $200 for this and even that's a bit of a stretch. Jeez. This is a great show but MAN that is expensive!

cartman · 04-18-09, 07:43 PM

$50 a season is too much for a spectacular series in high definition? :/

Mike86 · 04-18-09, 09:41 PM

Was interested in picking this up but no way will I be getting it at that price.

bunkaroo · 04-18-09, 09:55 PM

I'm OK with the price. I got $150 for all my DVD's (minus 4.5), so basically it's a $100 upgrade to Blu-ray minus what it would have cost me to get 4.5 on DVD. I can live with that.

GizmoDVD · 04-18-09, 10:13 PM

Damn that's high. Big pass for me since it would be a blind buy.

bunkaroo · 04-18-09, 10:19 PM

Yeah as a blind buy it's pretty risky. I'm thinking this will come down closer to $200 as release day sales are more apparent.

I hope your right. $200 sounds better than $250. At least then it's $50 a season. I already purchased these on DVD and this set just seems so expensive... but I'd much rather own it on Blu-ray.

LickTheABCs · 04-19-09, 12:04 AM

Well, there goes one of my kidneys.

stingermck · 04-19-09, 01:44 AM

Whew, thats a lot more than I wanted to pay. I sold my SD sets in prep for this, but I'm going to wait for a random sale. Even the DVD set is high, compared to other Universal sets I have; Hulk, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, etc.

TheBigDave · 04-22-09, 01:31 AM

Even $200 is a lot for a four season series. I was hoping for a $200 MSRP. I'll wait until it drops under $150.

Hopefully they won't screw up the packaging.

CombatCraig · 04-22-09, 06:46 AM

More details posted at TV Shows on DVD

I'm glad to see the new picture. I was bummed at first because it looked like they just put all of the old boxes into a bigger box. I know it's not much but it helps lol

Quoted for truth. I was unimpressed with the first picture for what they're charging.

Next bring on THE SHIELD complete series BR box!

Walker Boh · 04-23-09, 03:20 PM

I can't tell what's going on in those photos. Are the four seasons in boxes arranged around a giant hollow core?

Yup, the wife will have a fit. I'm going to have to start "hiding" $25 per week, because I absolutely need that set.
