Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Blu-ray UK Release Detailed

Thanks to DVDActive.com for pointing us to the Amazon.co.uk listings for Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Blu-ray, UK edition. There’s nothing exceptional to report here. Not even a full, complete list of bonus features, like we’ve previously posted for the North American release. Just a short list of what you’ll see in the extras department, package art, release date and price. What’s interesting, however, is the Amazon.co.uk Online Exclusive DVD collection of The Complete Series. It’s a bit closer to what we’re getting over here, what with the special package and Cylon action figure, but with a special extra kick: the UK DVD box is getting stuff available nowhere else and not on Blu-ray…

Bugger….

It’s hard to say exactly what this “stuff” is going to be but we know from the Amazon listing what form it’ll take. Apparently, there will be a couple of exclusive books (18cmx13cm, 32 pages) called ‘So say we all’ and ‘By Your command’. I know. Not really that exciting. But there’s more.

Reportedly coming in the DVD collection, but not listed as “exclusive” is a “Battlestar Galacatica Book” (huh?) and…wait for it…”A BONUS DISC OF NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE“!!! What the hell?!?! Where did this come from? What footage? Never before seen?! Are these deleted scenes? Making-of docs? Home movies? The infinite possibilities are overloading my positronic matrix!

I’ll tell you this for sure, if this bonus DVD contains the webisodes missing from the “Complete” series Blu-ray set, I’m going to be mighty steamed…
