Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced it will bring the original Sci-Fi Channel mini-series and complete first season of 'Battlestar Galactica' to HD DVD in one elaborate box set this holiday season.
The acclaimed cult TV series (now in its fourth and final season on the Sci-Fi Channel) will make its highly-anticipated next-gen bow on December 4.
Featuring the original 2003 mini-series, the full pilot episode and the complete first season of the show, Universal will roll out the high-def red carpet for 'Balltlestar,' in a six-disc set brimming with supplements.
In addition to audio commentary with creator Ronald D. Moore (and guests) on the complete mini-series, pilot and nine additional episodes, extras include more than a half-dozen featurettes, multiple deleted scenes, a still gallery and the "Encyclopedia Galactica," an interactive guide including ships, characters, colonies and flight training manual.
Also exclusive to the HD DVD release will be a picture-in-picture video commentary on the entire mini-series, featuring Moore, cast and crew and additional making-of footage.
Tech specs include 1080p/VC-1 transfers of the mini-series and each episode in 1.78:1 widescreen, plus Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround audio options.
Universal has set a suggested $99.98 for the set.
As always, you'll find full specs for 'Battlestar Galactica' linked from our HD DVD Release Schedule, under December 4. Watch for box art to be revealed in the coming weeks

Blu-ray is the better format
HD-DVD is not doing so well just supported by some major figures at the moment.
Blu-ray is the future because its a recordable format and holds a lot more capacity than HD-DVD will ever do!! The recorders are not widely available at the moment and are very expensive!!
If HD-DVD format is just for movies it might be ok but standard DVD fills that gap and is considerably cheaper and data recordable!!
Look a UMD for PSP its virtually dead because its not recordable. Sony should of used standard Mini Disk!!
In my opinion Blu-ray and HD-DVD must dead!! as (Solid State) storage is on the rise and more economical e.g. Mini SD card, Sony stick, 32Gb SDHC
