Title Best
Battlestar Galactica (Miniseries)R1

    The Region 1 release of this disc was on the 28th of December, 2004. Whilst we in Region 4 (and Region 2) got this package first, the Region 1 package has a few extras that we missed out on the first time.

    The Region 4 version of this disc misses out on:

  • Audio Commentary by Director Michael Rymer, Writer Ronald D. Moore, and Executive Producer David Eick.
  • Battlestar Galactica: The Lowdown - 40:00 (ours was a cut-down 20:30 version)
  • Deleted Scenes - Approximately 20:00
  • English Dolby Digital 2.0 surround encoded audio track
  • French Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track
  • French and Spanish Subtitles

    The Region 1 version of this disc misses out on:

  • RSDL format (Region 1 is a flipper with film on one side, extras on the other)
  • English Subtitles

    We may get a better transfer here (I haven't got to see the Region 1 version yet for a direct comparison) as from some reports the Region 1 film is squished on one layer of the disc, whereas we get is spread over 2 layers. In contrast, the Region 1 will probably be one to get for the commentary, as we again miss out on a Battlestar Galactica commentary AGAIN as we did with the Original Series package. It will be interesting to see what form this new series takes here in Region 4. We can only hope that we finally get something comparable to that afforded our Region 1 cousins. If you're a fan of this series, then it looks like the Region 1 will be the one to get, particularly for the extras.
