The Region 1 DVD Set Technical Features: “Episodes will be provided in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1), with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and Spanish Dolby Surround audio tracks; subtitles will be English, French and Spanish. Suggested retail price is $49.98 US, or $59.98 CAN.”
This is the first time that a Stargate show has been released as a half-season set. Some Twitter buzz had it that it’s a consolation for both the interrupted season (SGU will return in April 2010 on Syfy with the last ten episodes of the season) and for those who need to catch up.
In the meantime, we still have one more episode before the break: “Justice”, episode 10, will be shown on Friday, December 4, at 9 PM ET on Syfy.
ETA: TV Shows on DVD has updated their release announcement to include the Blu-ray version and this version contains much more material in its 2-disc set. Make sure to visit TV Shows on DVD for all the details!
