All the single-season sets of Battlestar Galactica on BD are all at less than $20 at the moment:

Season One @ $15.49
Season Two @ $15.49
Season Three @ $19.99
Season Four @ $19.99

Included on Amazon Prime.

Duly noted, though some people do want them on disk.

Keep an eye on the UK complete set. I got it for $59.67 shipped back in December. It's not region locked.

What's season 4.5?

A rip off. Don't buy it. The season 4 blu Shrike linked has the entire season.

Caution, these damn sets are really confusing as to what's included.

Sad that Caprica isn't on sale.

As long as you can play discs from Region 2/B, go for it.

A review on the US Amazon said the set is actually region free but is encoded in 1080i/50hz so you will need a Blu Ray player that can display it. I know mine does but a lot like the PS3 don't.

So from what amazon says it's basically the extra's not the episodes huh?

It's the last 10 episodes. The DVD released a season 4.0 with the first 10 episodes, and a season 4.5 with the last 10. Then for some ungodly reason they did a season 4.5 blu-ray with the last 10 episodes, even though the season 4 blu-ray contains all 20 episodes from that season along with all the extras that are on the 4.5 set, like the extended episodes. And the season 4 set has Razor, too.

So basically, don't buy 4.5 unless you're getting the DVDs.

Someone chime in if I screwed any of that up.

Maybe it was a big production goof that wasn't caught until later :| oh well.

Which makes the set, as far as I'm concerned, useless.

You guys really want to own Caprica? It was pretty disappointing, in my opinion, although it did pick up a bit towards the end. Kind of like Dollhouse - awful at first, then got kind of interesting too late for its own good.

Didn't know the BGS UK boxset dropped to ~$55ish. Will have to try to return my US S4 and pick this up instead.

The main thing here is timing. The DVDs released first, of course; when 4.5 came out, it got a simultaneous release on BD, a format first for the series. Later on, it was decided that the series should receive proper full season sets on BD. Now the 4.5 BD is outdated but it served its short-lived purpose as a test run on BD.

I have a couple of BS sets from the UK that are that way 1080i/50Hz and a PC BD-ROM or BDRW drive takes care of that issue with the 50Hz display. There are other BD players that do 50Hz and convert it to 60Hz for display.
