Yeah, I know they released it like a yonk ago over in the UK but unlike that one, this isn't bare bones. From TV Shows On DVD.com a couple of days ago:

Wow, Universal Studios Home Entertainment has just handed out a heckuva great New Years' Eve gift: the long-awaited details, release date and box art for Battlestar Galactica - Season 3 just became available within the past hour!

The street date is March 25th, for the entire season of 20 episodes in a 6-DVD package. One of the episodes, "Unfinished Business", will have an exclusive version on this DVD release, including 25 minutes of never-before-seen footage! That's just part of 15 hours worth of bonus material, which includes Deleted Scenes, Podcasts and Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes. The cost will be $59.98 SRP. Here is the package art:

meh. I didn't like season three that much, but i'll probably get it for completism's sake.

Does anyone know if they released a combined set of season 2 yet? I refuse two pay twice for the same season.

They never did, though for a time they did have them packaged in a 2-pack. But you should be able to get both of them for the comparable price of a full season set.

Amazon and best buy still have them both priced at 44.99.

That's what I usually pay for a brand new season of sg-1 or atlantis.

Amazon has 2.0 for $35.49 and 2.5 for $33.99, which is $69.48, something like five dollars less than the 2-pack bundle was listed when they carried it, and isn't a bad deal at all.

Wrong. Best Buy has them listed for $44.99 a piece. Amazon has 2.0 listed at $35.49 and 2.5 at $33.99.

The box-art is rather... terrible.
Lee looks rather gay (look at where his eyes are), and Adama looks to be interrogating Six's breasts.

What a fucking ripoff. So my Season 3 box set is inferior, and the episode of Unfinished Business is standard length. Brilliant.

Earlier today I checked Amazon for the season 2 two-pack and it said it will be back in stock on the fifth and will be priced at $51.99. However, it now says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Bummer. I was planning on getting it.

What I wound up doing to purchase the series was taking advantage of Borders' 3 for 2 DVD sale, which they always do after the holidays. So I didn't have to pay for half of season 2, and thus got it for what it *should* cost.

Season 3 looks like a much better deal, so I'm psyched.

Posted by David Lambert
1/04/2008

A few days ago we had the long-awaited announcement from Universal for a March 25 release of Battlestar Galactica - Season 3 on DVD! Since then we've been flooded with e-mails wanting to know if the "Resistance" webisodes would be among the extras hinted at for this 6-disc package.

This morning we have our answer for you, because within the past hour the studio has released the complete list of extras. And yes, "Resistance" IS included, as part of the supplements on the second disc. Here's the complete disc-by-disc breakdown of all bonus material:

* Disc 1
o Deleted Scenes
o Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries

* Disc 2
o Deleted Scenes
o Battlestar Galactica: "The Resistance" Webisodes
o David Eick's Video Blogs
o Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries

* Disc 3

o Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries
o "Hero" Commentary with Executive Producer David Eick
o "Unfinished Business" Unaired, Extended Cut Commentary with Executive Producer Ronald Moore

o Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries

* Disc 5
o Deleted Scenes
o Ronald Moore's Podcast Commentaries

* Disc 6

Complete running time for the 20 episodes is 955 minutes. Video is confirmed to be 1.78:1 Anamorphic Widescreen, audio at English - Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, and subtitles for both English and Spanish. All discs in this set will be single-sided. Battlestar Galactica - Season 3 is only announced for standard DVD; Universal has not indicated any HD DVD plans at this time, nor do we expect them to (they are more likely to bring the second season to high-def first).
