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?

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.

This makes absolutely NO sense to me at all. I already HAVE season one, and eagerly waiting for s3. why the hell would I rebuy s1 in HD before I have ANY version of s3??

It is ludicrous to start with the first season when the latest season has not even been announced.

Of course, I will feel much better if and when common sense prevails at Universal and they announce the HD version of s3 at the same time as the SD.

Just my "no sense" (as apposed too "two cents" ;-) ):
I think its GREAT when they release the "current" season in HD.
That way, people that want the HD version don't have to wait and/or buy the SD version. People that already have the previous season(s) in SD, can still watch them & the fine folks that have yet to buy the SD season(s), can just wait a little longer for the HD version(s).
Again, JMO.

I am sure people will see things differently depending on their particular situation.

For example, I don't have any season of this show in SD, so for me, the release of S1 first is a no-brainer FOR ME (and probably others as well).

However, I do understand your position though.

Personally, I'd rather go in order (especially when there's only three sets) but I can see your point. However, if I wanted S3 that bad, I'd buy it in SD and then eventually rebuy it in HD or rent it the SD discs to tide me over. If I didn't want S3 that bad, I'd wait until they got to it in HD.

Really my original comment is more applicable to The Sopranos or Smallville where it will take years and years (if ever) for them to get around to going back and release HD versions of all the previous sets.

I'm in the same boat. I purposefully waited to see if these would be released in HD before buying the season sets. I figured I could always pick them up later if SD was going to be my only option. Since season 4 doesn't start until sometime in Q1 2008 I'm hoping they're able to release all of the sets before the start of the new season.

Please don't flame me. I don't own either format. Just wondering. Originally this was rumored to be coming out in Sept. Now its Dec. Their also has been rumors that Universal is being pressured to go format nuetral and it may happen by next year. Could the reason it being delayed have to do with that if they announce they are going format nuetral that they will release season one in BR near the same time period? Like I said I am not looking to start trouble. Just curious.

No, but we're NOT going to discuss studio support for HD formats outside the designated threads!

If they ever do. That is exactly the reason I would prefer the series released in order.
