So it's a novelisation of the mini-series?

Battlestar Galactica: Seasons 1 & 2 ($59.98, $49.98 )
This is not your father's "Battlestar Galactica." It's not your children's, either. With its sex scenes and violence, this revisionist version of the 1970s show earns its late time slot on the Sci-Fi Channel. In fact, the only reminders of the old series are some of the spaceship designs and the plot about a fleet of humans fleeing their destroyed worlds with their aggressors, the Cylons, in hot pursuit. By shunning the "Star Trek" model (no alien monsters here), creator Ronald D. Moore has fashioned a space drama rather than a space opera. This thoughtful allegory about 9/11 is one of the best sci-fi shows ever. Extras: Moore's erudite commentary on each episode will add mileage to these discs.

I don't know I have every episode except for two on my computer including the miniseries...and have a geforce 6800gt...plus getting a brand new high end monitor for my x-mas...which means i will set them up in a double kick ass system...but onto...
MY POINT!
I would rather have it all on my computer than in DVD's or at least have it on my computer then burn it to a disk to save space and watch that way...its what I did for the entire B5 series and movies (ohh yeah). If they started pinching us on the downloads or if I got a notice of being caught I wouldn't mind paying $2-$5 an episode that is DVD quality. I mean if you break it down to what they get in advertising and then you say put it in some good encrypted format that will only work on the computer so people can't burn it over to mpeg then yeah I think its reasonable.Comment

I've noticed that the producers seem to be avoiding American made weapons, and using European ones.
For example the Colonial Marines in "Bastille Day" were using the silenced variant of the FN Herstal P90, with waht looked like a British made SUSAT optical sight attached.
The firing party at Zak Adama's funeral used SA80 asssault rifles, current issue for the British infantyman.
the pistol Galactica-Boomer used to try and kill herself appeaed to a member of the Glock family.sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.Comment

I agree entirely. Without a friend copying the eps to my iPod I wouldnt be buying the dvd's either.Originally posted by userfriendlyneither in the european store
but anyway, i ordered my miniseries & season 1 dvds yesterday, the season 2 dvd(s) will follow.
regarding the topic: the people who sell these dvds (i ordered the uk version) have gotten my money only because i was able to see the episodes. hadn't it been for p2p filesharing, i wouldn't have seen them until they were aired in german free tv (which hasn't happened, and even then it would have had ugly german synchronization).
the above mentioned article (the pdf) states an interesting aspect regarding new distribution models. it is a good read.Comment
