Is this true? I thought it was supposed to be [POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING] a stand-alone movie that told the story of Cain and the Pegasus right before the Cylon Attack on the Colonies. How would that fit into season 4?

I think there are a couple of elements that tie into S4 but thats it.

Somewhat offtopic, but it looks like the original miniseries is not included in the season one HD-DVD set? It was included in the original DVD release, which I have. So if I want to upgrade and be able to sell my old sell, Ill have to repurchase the miniseries on DVD? LAME. I read somewhere that the mini wasnt actually produced in HD, but still...most TV on DVD sets for that price have 22 episodes...the least they could do is include the miniseries.

It was on film, so it should be HD ready. Univesal has F'd up these BSG sets from the start. No surprise that they continue doing so. And I am still pissed about Razor.

^I was thinking that would most likely be the case...maybe where I read this got confused with that it didnt air in HD originally anywhere (although I recall it did air on UHD recently now that I think of it).

what???! oh that'll definitely be a no-buy if this is the case. Unbelievable.

Where did you see this? Amazon's description shows that the miniseries is included in the set.

As per Amazon:

Product Description
One of the best shows on television looks better than ever as Battlestar Galactica: Season One arrives on HD DVD. Relive all 13 thrilling episodes plus the four-hour miniseries that started it all in this six disc set.

I don't know where you got your information, but it's wrong. This is from Universal's press release about Season One on HD DVD:
The upcoming made-for-TV movie, "Battlestar Galactoca: Razor," is not coming out on HD DVD yet. Maybe that's what you're thinking.

Well glad that's settled. Whew . . . :)
