Battlestar Galactica Season One is out the shelves. What I picked up (from Best Buy) doesn't really look the image displayed since it's a UK release converted for US DVD players. Completely legit. Missed a lot of episodes due to late nights at work. Now, it's a perfect opportunity to just play "couch potato" and catch up what's missed. Best Buy price is at US$48.99 while Amazon has it at US$41.99.

Isn't this exclusively sold at Bestbuy Only?

[Mr. Hankey]

Best Buy has an "exclusivity window," and it's the only place you can buy the DVD from July 26-September 20. But from what I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), their version is a 4-disc set that does not include the launching mini-series - just the 13 episodes of the first season. The opening credits are also different from the Sci-Fi Channel version, and the only special feature is (are?) deleted scenes.

The retail version for all other stores is a 5-disc set, includes the 4 hour miniseries, and has the following special features:

1. Commentary Tracks
2. Behind the Scenes
3. Deleted Scenes
4. Battlestar Galactica Series Lowdown
5. Sketches and Art

So for a cheaper price, you get much more.

Worth the wait, huh?
