"at the time"? Sure, I know this and you know this... but there are people reading this thread that weren't even *born* "at the time". Again, I don't see the harm in throwing spoiler tags around that section. But I guess you do...

I mean no offence, but skipping a release you want because you don't like the container it came in is silly. After all, you'll only be looking at the box - what, a few moments? So you don't like it - take the discs out of the box, put them in some spare keep cases, and throw the stupid thing away.

I'll still be picking the set up, although I also wish it had better packaging. I was looking forward to something that would look sharp on the shelf.

i just don't dig paying a premium for something i won't use/need, and that i would have to work to get around (create my own box, etc).
just too much being released in the next 5 months. if a studio is going to be 'cute' and release something in unweildly, over-priced packaging, i'll just pass over it for now.
hopefully later it will get re-priced and released in more functional packaging.

Hey! Screenshots of the DVD menus! Check out all those deleted scenes - a ton of missing stuff indeed.

I'm really getting pumped for this release. October can't get here fast enough.

I guess I'm in the minority ... I wasn't that into getting the entire series until I saw the 3D cylon. I frackin' love it! That'll so be in a place of prominence in this geekazoid's office.

Glad to see that at least some (if not all) of the discs are flippers, which will, hopefully, take care of any over-compression concerns I had previously (especially with the first disc, that has the equivalent of five episodes plus bonuses).

The eye MOVES!
 

Well, isnt THIS cool. . . .

And some of you guys thought the novelty packaging sucked! Sheesh!

El-Kabong -- great news!

Who/what are you quoting there?

Whoops - my bad. That tidbit came from TV shows on DVD.com

What I know about the pilot's 'deleted' scenes. Basically the pilot is show in two ways.
1: Theatrical release & video release - it is what has been released on videos and the older DVD for the last 20 years.
2: THREE TV episodes.

#2 is longer and has more scenes in it than are shown in #1. I guess they figured for #1 that it went too long so they edited it down. With #2 since you are breaking it up, people can sit through more scenes since each part is only 1 hour long.
