CAGiversary!
Thanks for the post. I'm in for one! I was going to get the show on HD-DVD, but seeing as how I bought season 2 when it was 19.99 for each volume, I think I'll save myself around 50 bucks and just go standard def for now.
[quote name='bigdaddy']I already own the first, and best, season.
I'm not buyign the rest because they are way overpriced. [/QUOTE]
i never understood why people say some series are overpriced. Look at how much money went into making the special effects of battlestar. What they did is unreal.
Ditto for series like Rome, some shows go all out to create a show, with zillions of dollars to build the realistic set, 1000s of extras, mad expensive props etc.
Some of these shows will put more money into 1 or 2 episodes than a sitcom puts into an entire season.
but i digress. i bit.

[quote name='bigdaddy']BSG is not anywhere close to the level of detail and money that Rome cost, not even close.[/QUOTE]
it cost 100 million to make s1 of rome. Season 2 was much less because they already built all of the sets, but hell $100 million is a load. That has got to me some sort of record.
I know that the first bsg in the 1970s cost a ridiculous amount for the time, it set the record-remember that inflation would dwarf the number significantly. That is why i mention bsg costing a ton to make. Apparently they "only" spend $25 million per season, which is still a ton, the first season + the miniseries cost a bit more, but nothing that justifies the $150 msrp
I mention bsg mostly becasue the original series set the record for money spent.

Not to mention the tv box sets are alot better bang for your buck as far as numbers of hours of viewing for the money than say a two hour movie.
I really want this in high def but that's a big difference in money.
