Battlestar Galactica? - Blu-ray Forum

Hicksatpd · 02-03-2009, 12:33 AM

Hi guys,

I'm a big BSG fan, and I've assumed/hoped that the show would work its way onto BD in the not too distant future. Has anyone seen/heard any news/rumors on this?

I purposefully have not bought the most recent DVD release (Season 4.0) because I figure that I'll just be replacing the series on BD anyway. Didn't Season One come out on HDDVD?

According to DigitalBits it's rumored for a release later in the year. If what I remember is correct.

Bears.

I as well love this series and have done the same as the OP. I'm holding off buying 4.0 since I will replace the whole series when they do release.

Season 1 is available on HD - DVD and is at Fry's for 14.99 brand new I do believe.

Thanks for the heads up, but unfortunately, HDDVD's don't work in my blu-ray player.

Anyway, I'm also looking forward to a decent bluray release of this series. I'd definitely pick it up. I just hope it'll be a better transfer than the above-mentioned HDDVD release, as I heard it wasn't a top-notch transfer.

I was answering what the OP asked. But, from what I heard it wasn't a bad transfer. It will probably be a direct port transfer from the HD - DVD anyways.

I was holding the Season 4 special edition package in my hand which comes with a book, Starbuck dogtags and I'm like I just can't--this has to come out on BD. The last episode 'The Oath' was so intense--one of the best hours of TV ever. Also, finally, for the final 10 episodes Comcast finally gave us SciFi HD so watching and listening is better than ever. Frak, why is this show ending?

It was a pretty bad transfer. It had macro blocking rather consistently throughout.

The packaging was also shit, though that's easily fixed for a BR release.

I truly hope they redo season 1. If they released a port it would be pretty inexcusable at this point.

I've also been holding off on buying the DVD sets for the inevitable BR release. Hopefully they hit when this last season hits DVD later this year.

I have watched all the seasons, Is there anything different in the original miniseries, or is it included in season 1?
