Universal Home Entertainment will release Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series on DVD and Blu-ray on July 28, 2009.
This 20-disc Blu-ray set and 25-disc standard DVDset contains every episode of the popular SCI FI Channel series, along with extensive bonus materials, and is now available for pre-order.
Created and executive-produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, the series starred an ensemble cast led by Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, and Grace Park.
The last half of the show’s final season — Season 4.5 — is also now available for pre-order and will also be released on DVD and Blu-ray on July 28, 2009 with loads of extras.
SYNOPSIS
The Battlestar Galactica saga began on one devastating day, when the human population of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol was annihilated in a series of surprise attacks by their own creation—the Cylons, a race of sentient robotic clones. The few survivors huddled together on space ships, facing almost certain death at the hands of their ruthless enemies. In Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5, Commander William Adama (Emmy Award®-winner Edward James Olmos), the hawkish military leader of the last surviving battleship, searches for a habitable planet as the murderous Cylons follow relentlessly. As mysterious premonitions help Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) the President of the Twelve Colonies, guide the ship to the fabled Thirteenth Colony, Earth, treacherous double agents, Cylon spies and internal dissent plague the Galactica. The ship’s crew and passengers battle for their lives—and the survival of the human race—armed with only cunning and determination against the military might of the Cylon Empire.

Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series will be the first complete television series released on Blu-ray Disc when Universal rolls the set out on July 28. It will also be one of the most expensive with an SRP set at $349.98 and Amazon pre-order pricing currently sitting at $244.99.
The cost of a monthly car payment is not keeping BSG faithful away from this extravagant Blu-ray release. Since going up for pre-order over the weekend, Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series on Blu-ray has been a fixture in Amazon's hourly Blu-ray top 10 bestsellers chart. At the time of this article it rests comfortably in slot number 5.
Everyone who has already pre-ordered the set has arguably done so blindly. Advertisements on Hulu and Caprica revealed the unedited version of Razor would be inclusive but no other Blu-ray details have been offered thus far.
Thanks to "The Live Feed" by James Hibberd at The Hollywood Reporter, the first details are out of the bag and I think you all will be pleased.
Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series on Blu-ray will span 20 total discs (25 for DVD). Three episodes from season 4.5, available separately on Blu-ray as well, will be extended with never-before-seen footage.
James goes on to mention season 4.5 will include 13 hours of bonus material. His wording suggests that includes audio commentaries likely available for all episodes so the number is deceptive.
The complete list of bonus features for season 4.5 (Presume these will also be on the complete set as well?) are outlined below and all appear to be new. It is assumed bonus features released previously on DVD and HD DVD will also be included. Note that the Ultimate Battle game is likely a BD-Live feature that allows for online play against friends.
