- and now we get SGU but at an expensive price.

No SG1 on blu:
The first 5 seasons were not prepared with HD in mind. The 6th season is the first that might be able to benefit from a blu-ray upgrade without going back to scratch on special effects, etc. This is a huge cost factor, and it's not clear that sales would balance the cost.

No SGA on blu:
Atlantis apparently didn't sell well on DVD - an effect of being sort of an also ran series, I'm sure. When Atlantis wasn't outright ripping off SG-1 stories, it wasn't really creating a great new mythology. That said, there are probably some like me who didn't pick up the series because they're waiting on blu-ray.

As far as I'm concerned, the best way to encourage blu-ray releases for the prior series is to buy the blu-ray direct to video productions from both. Hopefully the 2 new DTV movies will get back on track sooner than later.
