Living in the UK, I asked a pal in the US to preorder it for me way back in August, and the thing still hasn't shipped - and now it's gone from "pre-order" to "backordered 1-2 weeks"
WTF are best Buy playing at?
It's dreadful to take stuff away from folks who preordered just to fill the stores.

Just picked it up from BB...FYI: There's a Battlestar Gallactica bonus disc included in this set..."Battlestar Gallactica: The Story So Far" 1.78:1 anamorphic... it's in a white CD envelope placed inside.

I got this set today and there was no "BG: Story So Far" disc. However, that disc *was* included in the BG 2.5 set that also comes out today.

No error, but it is odd. It was online, you also get it in copies of Roar that came out today.

Since I don't watch the show, I threw it away.

And I'd grab that out of the trash if I were you, some of the bonus discs get kinda valuable on ebay after a few months.

No, it was advertised online, it's not an error. It is basically an advertisment for BSG, I think it makes just as much sense in anything besides season 2.5. I think people who are buying 2.5 probably already know "the story so far".

I picked up mine at my Best Buy at break from work. Glad there were still copies of them no bonus disc on mine but I'm not complaining just happy I have the set in my hand.

Hadn't really planned on buying this, but I was in BB on my lunch break and there were only two copies left... Impulse puchase, ahoy! That Universal didn't use DVD-18s was actually a strong selling point, too. Nice set (and mine came with the bonus disc).
