Ah, very nice! Sliders would make a nice addition, although I’ve seen all of them. How much will the BSG season be? That may be one I have to pick up!

Best Buy has it listed at $48.99, pretty expensive for only 13 episodes. In my opinion it should be at $29.99, season 6 of SG-1 was initially marketed as low as $39.99. This is clearly a case of the network or studio cashing in on something that’s hot.

That is pretty expensive. If it was $29.99 I would almost certainly buy it. I know SG-1 is pretty good priced, but they really jack up Star Trek – usually around $120 a season! icon_eek.gif

Here’s some info:

Quote:

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has joined Fox and Warner Bros in offering Best Buy a title before other retailers. Battlestar Galactica: Season 1 will appear in Best Buy stores on July 26, and sell for $69.99. Best Buy has listed it as “Battlestar Galactica (Uk Version),” which doesn’t make sense; it’s the entire first season of the series. It also appears that they’re charging full SRP, and they’ll get away with it since they don’t have any competition for 2 months.

We’ve been told by other retailers that the regular retail release will be on September 20.

So it looks like Best Buy is going to rip everyone off for the next two months! :bs: :rant: BangHead.gif
