We all understand that POTC3 will crush BSG in sales when they're released.

Just that there are a lot of people on this forum who would rather own BSG over POTC3 (myself included).

#3. I'll go B5 on BD, only IF Warner formats the widescreen presentation properly (no cropping crap like on the DVDs).

Are you talking about the FX shots? They're not going to redo the FX in 110 episodes simply so they fit better in widescreen. You simply aren't going to be able to drop a 10 year old obscure TV show into the top 70 broadcast markets like they did with TOS, which is anything but obscure, nor is Sci-Fi going to pay for ANOTHER re-telecine.

maybe i got you wrong , but do you compare matrix with battlestar?

The fact that HD DVD is pulling out a big gun exclusive for each huge Blu release

Then again we're talking about the Sci-fi Channel. Let's look at there track record with cancelling Sci-fi shows; Sliders, Farscape, Stargate SG-1, & The Dresden files

I find that Ironic, since Sliders and Stargate were both cancelled before SF saved them

Sliders did 2 awful no-budget seasons on Sci-Fi before it was mercy killed
Stargate DOUBLED its showtime run, and did TEN seasons, how can anyone complain about a show remaining at least decent for 10 seasons?

Farscape, well, we all know they majorlly screwed up there. There's new Webisodes coming, and I got from Brian Henson's lips last summer they'd love to do more. If the mainstream sales on the boxes do well for Sony I'd expect they may be interested in co-fiancing new material.

Half the reason Farscape was cancelled was because they got orders from on-high to get rid of all the shows they didn't own, Stargate being the exceptions because it was their top show. And let's not forget the head of USA Networks was, and I believe STILL Barry "The Sci-Fi Killer" Diller

is that it the biggest blow by HD-DVD at least pirates 1&2 had some competition with the matrix but battlestar.........phew............ u know when i won't be dissapointed if pirates pwned battlestars ass 20:1

P.S. no offence to the cult following here

Plus Pirates is Cheap on Amazon at 23 dollars. I mean the DVD version is 22 dollars, so what's there to lose again? Of course I'm buying Pirates 3. And the guy next to me, his mom next to him, and the girl next to her.
