Excellent find!

And now I realize that ussrelativity beat me to it by six hours in "Stargate Movies". Dang, now I feel useless.

It's amazing that I was the first to post the information! Over at SG-1 Solutions, they mentioned me for the tip! Me!

[Vala_M]

Only 97 minutes?? That's only 7 minutes longer than the standard 2-parter episodes! That is such a dissapointment! Surely, they could have gone to last least 2 hours??

Vala,

LOL! It's a little early to be complaining that the movie's to short, isn't it? There is such a thing as stretching a film's running time longer than it should be, too... We won't know if it actually needs to be longer (or, heck; shorter) until we've actually seen it.

[Egle01]

Excellent news! Coming around my bday. Yay!
Seems little short, but we'll see.
Can't wait!!!!!

How come us Canadians have to pay more to watch the same DVD when the Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US Peso? (And the darn shows are also filmed in Canada?) what a ripoff..

Anyone know the UK release date?

Indeed, although this is GREAT to hear, there's no real reason why us Canadians have to pay an extra ELEVEN DOLLARS than the USA, that's like saying our dollar's at $0.75 USD (2002 figure), last I recall, it's at $0.99 USD. The Canadian dollar is on par with the Greenback, and even with what our dollar was at a year ago, that's still WAY too much.

Nonetheless, let's hope Canadian retailers don't stick to the MSRP and par it with the American price.

As usual the Canadians get ripped off even though the show is filmed in Canada. In my area it will cost me at least 43.30 to get it (if I can get it local) because we have 14% taxes. It will be even more if I have to have it shipped in.

Well heck with that, I will wait to get it when its on for 10 bucks. If thats a year from release date or 10 years from release date then oh well. Either way though I will be seeing this long before I get it.

I love Stargate, but I don't love it that much to waste that much money.

That's what I wondered when I saw the prices. If I were Canadian, I'd be ticked. As it is, I'm disgruntled.

Because that's the way it's been. For eons, the Canuck dollar was worth less than the US dollar. However, due to the bungling with banks and the gov't, the US dollar has tanked terribly and the Canuck dollar is nearly on parity with the US dollar. Today, it's 1.5 cents less, so Canucks should demand being able to pay in US $ to save themselves in the long run

You should be lucky your not living the UK, the standard price of a dvd before shop discounts is about 20 quid and the last time i checked 20 quid in us dollars at 2.07 works out to be 41.4 bucks, and in candian money its even more than that.

Mind you it makes it cheap for us to come over there to shop, what with such weak currencies in both countries.

Anyone know the uk street date? and if its coming out on blu-ray?

Because the US Military helped to sponsor the DVDs .
