Stargate Atlantis - Season 1 Boxed Set on 11/15/05!
"Stargate Atlantis - Season 1" will be released on 11/15/2005, according to information I have obtained. It is a 5 disc set, with a suggested price of $59.95. It has a runtime of 873 minutes.
(Until this title is announced by the studio, the info still could change.)
I will post cover art as soon as I get it. (Keep an eye on my site's product announcements section for news on upcoming Stargate releases.)

tvshowsondvd.com has posted the artwork and some specs...
The ARTWORK looks really cool!
 Now that SONY is running things, I wonder if they'll use a different style of packaging rather than the SLIPCASE and 5 keepcasess?

If the artwork is accurate than they're continuing the SG1 set in the same format and using some thinner format for Atlantis. I'm all up for that, SG1 takes up more room on my shelves than any other set I own.
Of course artwork isn't always accurate.

Cool! Unlike SG1, I was able to start watching Atlantis from the beginning, so I know what is going on, and have become quite a fan.

About time.
So, do we watch S8 of SG-1 first or Atlantis S1? The SG-1 S7 finale seemed like an opening for Atlantis.

The opening two-parter of season 8, then Atlantis. |

I really hope that Sony/MGM doesn't use that idiotic paperbox format that Warner Brothers and many other studios use for the DVD boxed sets. I really hate those digi-pax clamshell cardbox mockups ...
I just hope that they continue the same format as they have with previous boxed sets. I do think that they'll use the formatr as previously released with their previous format:

Here's hoping that Sony continues to use the same format for the Ninth Season as well.  The keepsake case will be used for the 8th Season.
I think that Stargate Atlantis is the new format for their DVD releases for new series launches on DVD. |

Here's another shot of the Atlantis Season 1 box:
The set does include all episodes from the first season, including the pilot. The 5 discs come in 3 cases, as you can see in the picture above, so the set will be much thinner than the SG-1 sets.

Just let me guess, DVD-18's? Double Sided? I don't think so. I saw the pilot when it aired and I didn't like it and while I thought about buying this set to check out the first season in its entirety, I'm not sure.

I doubt it's DVD eighteens. MGM previously put the SG1 sets on 5 DVD nines. If those are double thins than there would be no need for DVD eighteens.

That's confusing as hell.
Someone want to spell it out as far as the season sets are concerned? So am I safe watching all of SG-1 S8 (it comes out next month), or should I just buy them both at once? |

The two shows take place at approximately the same time, however some Stargate SG1 episodes clearly occur before Stargate Atlantis episodes.
