    SG-1 Complete Series coming to Region 2 DVD

    http://gateworld.net/news/2007/12/is...oming_to.shtml
    Region 2 viewers rejoice! Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series box set treatment is heading your way, and just in time for the holidays. The set will become available tomorrow, December 3.

    Here's what Amazon has to say about the contents ...

    * All 212 episodes (seasons 1-10)
    * Sneak peeks at upcoming feature films Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum
    * All previous released DVD special features including audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes and photo galleries
    * Plus 1 disc of exclusive behind-the-scenes featurettes and more!

    Rejoice? Hardly! Four reasons why I won't be buying:

    1.) Judging on photos here but the disc holders appear to be the same kind which were used for Buffy S1 and subsequently withdrawn because they scratch discs.

    2.) MGM vary dvd extras between, and even within, regions. Because of this, the boxset extras are far less attractive outside R1. MGM may therefore decide to put different/more extras on this boxset in other regions. It's happened before, it could happen again.

    Waiting a short time could safeguard you in both cases, but there is, of course, a longer-term problem:

    3.) After the two Stargate movies have been sold as individual discs, MGM may well decide to do the Ultimate Boxset with all 10 seasons plus the movies...and maybe new extras again.

    4.) And with new formats around the corner MGM are more or less bound to put Stargate out again and try to tempt you to replace your dvds...probably with new extras.

    Oh yes, and...while this boxset is two discs worth of extras for Region 1 buyers, there's hardly anything new for the Region 2 audience and most of what there is has already been broadcast here. In short - this is not worth buying.
