Wait for the double dip for $400 that includes Razor and The Plan. Until then this isn't really "Complete"

Jesus.

I paid $15 for Season 1 on HD-DVD

Nobody pays SRP for DVDs/Blurays.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #4 on:** April 22, 2009, 05:18:58 PM »

A steal at twice the price.

But it's only $245 at Amazon, it'll probably be less than that the first week at BB.

i guess this is what netflix is for

or no, i'm not even sure this is what netflix is for -- i'm a little concerned that bsg is close enough to star trek that watching it will involve a descent to that next circle of nerdlinger hell

Not at all. Its nothing like Star Trek or Babylon 5. You'll come out of it unscathed.

Razor is part of Season 4.0 so it is in there.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #8 on:** April 22, 2009, 08:03:50 PM »

There is a commerical for this on the Caprica DVD. Razor is specifically mentioned as being part of the complete series set.

When is it out?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2009, 08:29:36 PM »

Sometime in July.

Rman · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2009, 08:32:23 PM »

I'm currently watching the series on DVD via Netflix. I'm loving it so far. I wish it would be out sooner as I'm hooked and cannot wait till July. But I'm an HD-whore. Decisions, decisions.

It would be pretty lame if the new movie "The Plan" isn't on this. I think the DVD is coming out around the same time?

The Plan doesn't come out until November.

Fotunately, I'm loaded right now, so as long as the Canadian price isn't marked up too much, this is mine.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #15 on:** April 22, 2009, 09:12:16 PM »

I'll pick up 4.5 on Blu-ray, but I'm content with my DVD copies of 1 through 4.0.

They're doing it wrong. Shouldn't they be able to wing it so, you know, there are SUBSTANTIALLY LESS FUCKING DISCS on BR?

You're doing it wrong. The whole point of Blu-Ray is to have more room for HD Audio/Video, not to be able to cram more stuff on less discs.

I approve of the bit-rate snobbery ITT.
