On My Christmas List

More news from Highdef Digest, on the HD release of the Mini and S1:

...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 'Battlestar,' 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.

In-picture video commentary? An Encyclopedia? FUN!

Universal is making a big mistake by going with HD DVD only, and not supporting Blu-Ray. The trend seems clear that Blu-ray is winning the (stupid) platform war. (Probably mostly because of the PlayStation 3.)

I'm one of those consumers that won't invest in the new technology until there is a clear winner. Plus the price of the players should also start dropping this Christmas as well.

So, we'll see...
