Battlestar Galactica is a great series!
Since this is a fairly new series, and after reading that the entire series was filmed in high definition, I was expecting a really clear sharp picture and great audio. I was imediatly disapointed when I began watching the first disc. The picture quality is not good. It is grainny and the colors are less than brilliant. Others have justified this by saying that the series was shot this way on purpose and that the poor film quality was an artistic expression. Whatever the reason, it is so grainy and dim that is slightly distracting. I have season three on DVD and have compared the two formats. The DVD is definetly less sharp which masks some of the grain. I am not really sure which format I prefer, not a big difference.
The packaging is another issue. At first I thought the box looked cool but after a few days I decided it was just too big. It wastes a lot of space on the shelf. In fact it partialy hangs off the front of my bookcase. It is at least five times bigger than it needs to be. There are Four individual boxes, each containing a season. I thought about throwing away the big box and just displaying the four smaller ones on the shelf. The big box is sturdy and well put together but the small boxes are cheap and crappy. Its hard to get the discs in and out of the cardboard sleeves. It seems inevitable that the discs will begin to get scratched over time and with repeated uses.
The discs are not labeled so searching for an individual episode could take a while. "Caprica" is not include, nor are the webisodes.
On the good side, the audio is very good. The Blu-ray discs have more episodes than the DVDs which means less changing disks. "Razor" is included. It is nice to have the whole series all together, especially since I did not previously own all of them. You also get a toy Cylon figure which is only cool if you wanted it. I would preferred to let them keep the figure and knock ten dollars off the price.
In conclusion I would recomend that you buy this set if you are a Battlestar Galactica fan and if you don't already own it on DVD. If you do own one or more seasons on DVD I would recomend that you fill in the gaps with individual seasons of Blu-ray sets when they become available and only replace your DVD's if you feel it is worth the extra money.

I have not seen the entire series yet, but from the beginning miniseries I was hooked. I'd love to buy them by season, as how it was done on DVD. Why do the studios always lump everything into box sets on blu-ray? I don't want a fancy box set that I can't place in a slim storage center where my other blu-ray titles in traditional case fit perfectly. Please, somebody at Universal make a good decision and release them by season!

I think the cases were not designed very well. It's a big pain to take dvds out or put them back in. The worst part is that it didn't seem to come with any kind of episode guide, so you don't which episodes or special features are on which disc. Although, I must say, I enjoy the little centurion action figure.

One of the most anticipated boxsets is here, for the best series of the last decade and one of the best ever. It's a lifetime experience to watch this show in HD, while the packaging is almost stunning. I don't get the complains about that, it is indeed big, but it's very impressive while the Centurion replica is very nice and detailed. The contents of the Bluray version are great, although Face of The Enemy webisodes and the Special Episodes should have been included. All in all, highly recommeneded!

The packaging is cheap, tacky and horrible. It's obvious that over time, the discs will become so scratched as to become un-playable. Also there is no book or guide of any sort. I had to go online and download a guide. The DVD quality was distractingly bad, flat and almost one dimensional.
I exchanged the set for a the Blu-Ray, bought a Blu_ray player and boy what a difference! The packaging is the same but the Blu-Ray's image quality is spectacular and the extras are fantastic.
And as for the series itself? Battlestar Galactica is simply the best show ever in the history of television.
