amazon.ca: Battlestar Galactica blu-ray for $149.99

** didn't find this in search**


Amazon.ca has the re-issue pre-order of BSG in blu for $150, just changed down from $172 a few hours ago.

Amazon.co.uk might have a slightly better price on the UK limited edition, depending on if you get hit with border fees.

Also, don't forget to either use an RFD affiliate link, or Air Miles Shops.

This is such a great deal btw, finally going to bite at this price.

Can't see the box art for this set. Is this the same as this?

Or is it just a slimcase version of the series (which I hope it is)?

I've heard some grumblings of the previous boxset.

Done some research... new packaging!

Yeah it's the new slim packaging, that's why this makes the deal so much more hot.

Totally ordered... now what to do with Seasons 1 - 4.0 on DVD, lol.

The UK Version might not include The Plan:

All in all I still prefer the original packaging.

Not a deal breaker, but do these Blu-rays have HD sound? (Looks like "no" from the Amazon page)

Nice find! Posted to the front page, thanks!

Yes, the original blu release did, so does this one.

Little bummed that the digital bits is reporting "no" episode guide booklet. That alone is almost making me decide on the UK version instead (of the original release).



Thanks for the shoutout Andrew.

I pre-ordered last week for $172. Just checked my Amazon account and it shows the new $149.99 price, so their pre-order price guarantee works.

My thinking is that the individual cases will have the disc information / episode info on them, which will work as well as an episode guide. You could also print out the guide that vicmackey on avsforum prepared at this link. I printed this out, and it looks dang nice.

2 more weeks - looks like Canada still beats USA amazon by a long shot right now.

As per funkymonkey on dvdtalk.
Old packaging, his own custom packaging, and the new packaging.
