Are there any plans for a non-oversized box version? Cos I saw it at Costco and there's no way in hell I'm paying for that. It's too damn big and I don't like how the discs are housed.

To add to what RocShemp said, does anyone know of individual Blu-ray season sets being released?

According to TVshowsonDVD.com the release date for BSG: The Plan is 10/27/09

You could always buy the UK version - region free and comes in a tin that is not much bigger in size than a normal Blu-ray case (although obviously deeper since it contains 20 discs). Saw the Aussie version today which is packaged the same as the UK version and its much more shelf-friendly than the current US version.

A pending charge showed up on my bank account yesterday so hopefully my set will be shipping shortly.

So DDD is giving a $10 credit on the order? $141.27 isn't bad for the set.

Ok you're right. I just checked my e-mail and it was a DDD/Bill Me Later promotion which gave me a $10 credit.

Count me in as one who likes the set. Not so huge on the cardboard cases, but I'll live.

Cool. I'll have to look those up. Thanks for letting me know.

Mine arrived from DD yesterday--just to torture those who haven't received it yet I won't open it for several months. Will just leave it in the box gathering dust.

I kid, of course. I have to say I'm not a fan of the season packaging--it just looks like the discs are packed into loose paper sleeves. I worry about how they will hold up.

I find it troublesome that the packaging is so awful, yet a little soothing knowing that I haven't really seen many complaints about damaged discs. How about we start taking a tally here of good vs bad experiences with scratched discs? That's really what would swing me one way or the other.

All of my discs are 100%.

They are Blu-ray Discs, so even with the less than ideal packaging, you'd be very hard pressed to find anyone who has scratched discs, due to the scratch resistant coating they have....I would think that these containers could potentially cause some with DVDs, but I have found DVDs to get visible scratches and marks from even the lightest minor scuffs, while you pretty much have to be purposefully trying to scratch a BD to do any damage....
