Battlestar Galactica S1 HD-DVD DEC 4th - Full specs!


Here is the link:

http://hddvdformat.blogspot.com/


Disappointed and anxious that there was still no news about Battlestar Galactica (2004): Season One HD DVD which was heavily rumored to be released in September?

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has now confirmed that the Battlestar Galactica (2004): Season One will be available on 6-disc HD DVD set from December 4. The high-definition version of this TV series is available to own only on HD DVD. It is a non-combo HD DVD set and has a suggested price tag of $99.98 SRP.

Each episode of the series will be presented in 1080p High Definition Widescreen 1.78:1 video with Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (English) and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 (English) audio options. Only English [SDH] and French subtitle options are included.

A breakdown of the bonus materials on each disc:

Disc One:

Encyclopedia Galactica - An interactive guide including ships, characters, colonies and flight training manual (HD DVD-Exclusive)
Picture in Picture - Behind the Scenes of the Mini Series (HD DVD-Exclusive)
Feature Commentary with Director Michael Rymer and Executive Producers David Eick and Ronald D. Moore
Deleted Scenes - Mini Series
Sketches and Art
From Miniseries to Series

Visual Effects
Epilogue
Disc Two:

Encyclopedia Galactica - An interactive guide including ships, characters, colonies and flight training manual (HD DVD-Exclusive)
Picture in Picture - Behind the Scenes of the Mini Series (HD DVD-Exclusive)
Deleted Scenes
Feature Commentary with Director Michael Rymer and Executive Producers David Eick and Ronald D. Moore
Pilot Commentary with Director Michael Rymer and Executive Producers David Eick and Ronald D. Moore
Disc Three:

Deleted Scenes
Episode 103 "Bastille Day" Commentary with Ronald D. Moore and David Eick
Episode 104 "Act of Contrition" Commentary with Ronald D. Moore and David Eick
Disc Four:

Episode 110 "The Hand of God" Commentary with Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore
Disc Six:

Episode 112 "Kobol's Last Gleaming" Pt 1 Commentary with Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore
Episode 113 "Kobol's Last Gleaming" Pt. 2 Commentary with Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore



With Trek Remastered S1, Blade Runner, The Kubricks, Heroes S1, Bourne Ultimatum, and heaven knows what else, this will definitely be a costly 4th quarter for me.

  • Toshiba HD-XA2, HD Add-on, Panasonic DMP-BD10A
  • Pioneer VSX-94TXH, Panasonic PT-AE 2000U 1080p (delivered but not mounted yet)
  • 252 HD DVDs, 65 BD DVDs, and over 1560 - SD DVDs and going down
  • New buying strategy - I will continue to buy Universal and Paramount HD DVD's, but if it available in both formats, Blu-ray now gets my purchase.

No.

Star Trek TOS Remastered S1 will also all have Dolby True HD tracks when it streets Nov 20 (2 weeks before BSG).

Also --

It is only mid-August, so there is still time for Universal to announce more awesome titles for HD-DVD in time for X-mas. I realize what Ken Graffeo said at the EMA Conference regarding some of their treasures, but there could be a possibility that he simply did not want to reveal/discuss what was being planned at that time.

Whatever the case, we'll see what pans out within the next 6 weeks as far as announcements go. I hope I'm not disappointed and Uni Surprises us with something unexpected.

It's good to see a company releasing season sets and not starting with the most current season.
