Anybody buy the local R3 of this? How about some reviews/impressions?

new guy · « **Reply #1 on:** Apr 08, 2008 at 07:48 PM »

I bought the Battlestar Galactica season 2 boxset. Its DVD9, the special features are the same with R1.

so its a good buy since its more cheaper than R1.

I also bought Battlestar Galactica Razor.

Can't wait to watch it.

Thanks. Does it contain the entire Season 2?

Lumabas din ba ang season 1? Parang hindi ko nakita.

They released the R2 version of Season 1 but in limited quantities @ P1,500. Hopefully they will release a local version (the same way they did with Las Vegas and House both originally released as imported R2 sets). Just hope it is the same as R1 since it includes the mini series.

According to FLIM on a separate thread, NO. The Philippine-released "Season 2" is the equivalent of the the R1 "Season 2.0." The problem is... try talking to the Magna rep of the store, and they won't know what you're talking about when you tell them kalahati pa lang yan ng Season 2.

"Hindi sir, buo na yan."

Hopefully Magna sees this thread and releases Season 2.5 soon.

If you mean the DVD release, yes. But only the R1. I don't know if the local season 3 has been released here (yet, anyone just correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks. I figured the price was too good to be true.

Just bought these at P500 each from the Astrovision Sale Stall at the 2/F of Glorietta. Dunno if they contain their respective complete seasons, but I couldn't resist the price. Packaging seems to indicate that they are all there.

According to the packaging, Season 1 is 13 episodes + the Mini-Series on 4 discs, while Season 3 is 5 discs. I seem to recall the local release of Season 2 was only 2 discs, so it was obviously incomplete.

Any chance of Season 2.5 being released locally?

rebelborg2002 · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 28, 2008 at 09:22 PM »

hi chet. it's good to know you were able to get seasons 1 and 3 for only 500 bucks. i was there this afternoon at astrovision and the tag price of season 1 and 3 was 999.00. only season 2 was selling for 500. wonder why? if you know of any other store where they're selling it at 500 apiece, let me know k?

muchas gracias

I don't think the distributor even knows the concept of a half season. So, don't hold your breath. I have three words for them: Stupid, stupid, stupid.

sayang naman, when i thought that i could finally watch this series.

Anyway, I know Magna reads this forum, let's see if the alert in the new topic title calls their attention to the problem.

I think you might have better chance of success, it it were to be bought to their attention. A few forumers here (I think it's boredfilmaker) knows the email of one of the Magna people. Or have Mr. Lee of Astro bought it up with Magnavision...

Dan · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 02, 2008 at 09:28 PM »

Here's the Amazon.com links for their reference (in case hindi sila naniniwala):

Battlestar Galactica - Season 2.0 (Episodes 1-10)

and

Battlestar Galactica: Season 2.5 (Episodes 11-20)

Magnavision, ito po ang reklamo namin. Ang binebenta nyo ay yung Season 2.0 lang. Kulang po ito. Sa nakikita nyo, may episodes 11-20 pa sa season 2.5. Nagbenta kayo kaagad ng Season 3 na hindi nyo pa binebenta o dini-distribute yung Season 2.5 sa madlang tao.

I tenk yu. Bow.

Doh!

Anyway, checked disc 1 of Season 1, and its 7.52 GB while disc 1 of Season 3 is 7.57 GB.

firewired · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 07, 2008 at 06:10 PM »

Regarding Season 2, I did bring it up before because I almost bought the set.

That said, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Wow. That's not encouraging.

Kaya tuloy nakakawalang-gana minsan tangkilikin ang mga R3.

I just bought myself Battlestar Galactica the miniseries dvd, was it really meant for the film to be grainy?

Not quite, but yes. They want to replicate a "documentary" feel so you'll see some very raw video from film stock. Then again, there are some really high contrast scenes where grain is unavoidable.

watson's box · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 09, 2008 at 06:17 PM »

oh i see, thanks! im looking forward to buying the boxed sets but im still waiting for a good price on these. hopefully il get them during a sale.

Dan · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 09, 2008 at 09:11 PM »

Just take note that you'll have to order season 2.5 outside of the country since this is not available in the Philippines. Season 2.0 only has the first 10 episodes, it's supposed to go up to episode 20.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 09, 2008 at 09:15 PM »

And if you're thinking about buying Razor, please note that it's been announced as included in the Season 4.0 R1 set, so you might end up with a duplicate in the future, if Magna copies the R1 release of 4.0.

I guess that means Magna won't be releasing Season 4.5, either...
