D'OH!

Last night I watched the final two episodes of season 4. Holy ****! Talk about a shocker finale. Now I have to go insane waiting for the end of the month when Sci-Fi does their marathon run of season 4.5, including the finale. I am dieing to see what happens next and how it all ends.

Would love to have a price figure on this series BD.

Any news?
post #64 of 1612
heard somewhere it's out in July. All I know is this is going to be a wallet buster $$$.

Still, It's going to be nice to see the series finally, specifically the first hour, in non-macroblocked, compressed craptastic cable HD.

I was all jazzed for this release until I learned that there was a two-hour movie called BSG: The Plan slated for this fall. I'd rather they wait and include everything.

There never was any news, unless reporting rumors that "some guy who knows somebody who said..." is news.

It's not a follow up to the series but rather a retelling of certain events from a Cylon viewpoint. Personally, I see no reason for it to be included in the series set.

I don't see how it is any different than BSG: Razor, which I assumed was included in the rumored set. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

You may not believe there is any truth to it, but rumors from industry sources are definitely news. Especially if they have any sort of credible track record.

I don't think this has been posted here:

It's not official yet, but my sources indicate that Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series will street on Blu-ray sometime in late July (7/28 is the rumored date), and it's likely that the Season 4.5 DVD will street then as well, if not sooner. Watch for announcements in the coming weeks. One thing I CAN confirm for you today, as I learned at the finale screening, is that at least three of the Season 4.5 episodes will be extended on both DVD and Blu-ray, including A Disquiet Follows My Soul (about 10 minutes longer), Islanded in a Stream of Stars (about 20 minutes longer) and Daybreak (the 3-part finale, also about 20 minutes longer). We'll keep you up to date as official announcements are made.

I will assume you're not talking about one being about a Battlestar crew and the other being about Cylons.

I think I know what you mean, both are technically "movies". Personally I think they should include both or neither, then they could release a 2 pack later.

As long as everything BSG is on Blu-ray I'll be happy.

Was it just me or did they remove a good bit of the grain for the last half of the final season?

If the complete series is released in July I would bet that the cost will be north of $200 . Having seen every episode I will wait it out until say the day after Thanksgiving when it will surely be on sale .

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Unless I can get it at 40% off, I'll wait for the initial lunacy to subside and buy a copy for next to nothing off of eBay or even better, an amazon seller, that way I have a guarantee. That's what I did for seasons 3 & 4 of LOST. Worked out very well. Both times I was able to snag them at 50% off, including shipping costs.

BG is, hands down, a top 3 series of all time.

That's a press release.

If they decide not to offer individual seasons (and just do one giant $$$$ boxset) then I won't be buying the Blu-ray. I already have season 1 on HD-DVD and 2-3/Razor on dvd which looks nearly as good upconverted.
post #77 of 1612
I may be one of the few people on AVS that has not seen BSG. The last sci-fi series I was hooked on to was Star Trek: TNG. Looking forward to watching BSG from the beginning.

Please limit discussion to BD (show talk is already in other forum). Thanks.

Catch more behind-the-scenes features when Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series becomes available on DVD and Blu-Ray Hi-Def on July 28, 2009

A little more confirmation of the release date
post #80 of 1612
Now that is encouraging! But I wish they'd posted it yesterday (or tomorrow).
post #81 of 1612
Augh! July isn't getting here fast enough.
post #82 of 1612
I finally watched the final episode last night. Man what a way to go out.

I really hope that the BD gets some 7.1 HD codec loving. Some of those scenes will shake the house down!

Be nice. But I'd be really surprised if they remixed the audio. I'm sure we'll get 5.1 lossless and a new video encode from the HD masters, and really, what more could we reasonably want? (Extras and deleted scenes in HD, that's what!)

Same here. I have way too much content to catch up with in my catelogue & I LOVE the re-imagining of BSG like no other Sci-Fi series before.

Erm, I was being nice. I hope for a really good transfer with enough opmh to give me speakers a workout.

I liked the ending, and the social comment right at the end.

Well... it's finally at least SEMI-official. Universal's new Caprica DVD (due 4/21) contains a preview for Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series, which it says is "coming soon to DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def." The preview trailer also offers an image of what could be the set's packaging, which appears to include a miniature replica of a Cylon warrior. Here's what it looks like in the promo...

There's no street date given, and Universal still has yet to officially announce one, but a new Sci-Fi Channel behind-the-scenes clip over on Hulu says it's due on 7/28, which is the date The Bits and Galactica Sitrep first reported back in February. Hopefully, the studio will make an official announcement shortly. We'll definitely have more on this as soon as it comes in.

Stay tuned...

So it's looking more and more realistic with each passing week.

And expensive.
post #88 of 1612
While I'm scared of a high price on one hand... On the other hand, I think they'd better apply some intelligence.

Consider... I've seen the entire Star Trek Next Gen 7-season set on DVD for around $200 now... but it was $100 per season as it originally came out.

Now I know Battlestar will be on Blu-ray, but still only 4 seasons + the mini-series + Razor... so if it costs more than $200 it'll probably sit on the shelves for a while.

I bought the mini... then bought Season 1 (got the mini a 2nd time that way) then bought season 2.0 and 2.5... but I stopped at that point hoping for HD/Blu-ray seasons.

Also consider Star Trek Season 1 on Blu is about $73.00 on Amazon for preorder right now... that'd be about $219 for all 3 original seasons if that price holds. Now granted they are old shows, and only some of the stuff was newly generated HD-effects... but still there's like 75+ episodes of that show as the seasons were longer than BSG seasons have been.

Bottom line for me, as much as I want this, if it is too expensive I can wait... since I just watched the show very recently... so I can wait for the price to come down over time.

I wouldn't be willing to go higher than $120 and would really prefer it in the $90 range. Looks like I'll be waiting awhile.
