    49.99 euro in HMV in Galway today and had plenty.

    Surely in the running to be the best television series of the past decade, the stunning revival of Battlestar Galactica is perhaps only nudged out of first place by The Wire. But it’s a tight-run race, and across the four seasons in this collected box set, there’s some of the best science fiction television of all time.

    Sadly, the fact that it’s a science fiction show on the exterior is likely to put some off Battlestar Galactica. It really shouldn’t. The writers superbly weave in politics, religion, action, and excellent character work, bringing together an outstanding company of actors. Edwards James Olmos and Mary McDonnell are the stand-outs, but there are so many performances of note, it’s hard to highlight too many more. It goes without saying, of course, that the majority of science fiction enthusiasts will be blown away by many of the collected episodes here.

    And, bluntly, it’s a real treat to watch them in high definition. While perhaps the earlier episodes of Battlestar Galactica don’t look quite as striking as the later instalments, this is still a show with high production values that gleam in high definition. Cinematically shot and engrossing right through to its challenging ending, Battlestar Galactica is quality television, and it’s never looked better than it does on Blu-ray. --Jon Foster

    Almost certain the majority of those features are ONLY on the BR edition.

    Nonetheless, outstanding price. Just the Amazon reviews are chalk full of people who feel misled when they bought the DVD version because they thought the BR extras were on there.

    There's a world of difference between the Blu-ray version and the DVD version. Read the Amazon reviews.

    That said, it's a great price.

    Again, I am almost certain the DVD has the miniseries and Razor as they are not extras and are part of the show.

    However, I do see from the reviews that maybe it does not have the extended version of razor.

    I think you're right about Razor anyway. Here's a link to a review complaining about what's missing compared to the Blu-ray (and US DVD) version. Probably isn't a dealbreaker for most people and, as I said, it's a great price for a great show.

    Yeah defo.

    If you are a DVD person with no interest in BR then it is realistically the best you can hope for. I don't see them re-releasing the DVDs in the future with the extras.

    The R1 DVDs had alot more stuff too as you say so that could be an option but its $120 on Amazon.com and you need a multiregion (altho thats not a huge problem).
