Yesterday we
posted the press release, officially announcing that
Battlestar Galactica - Razor would come to DVD on
December 4th, just a week-and-a-half after the production debuts on the Sci Fi Channel. As the press release mentioned, there is a contest (really more like a poll) for fans to choose which of three cover art choices they prefer for the DVD release.
I HAVE to interject a comment here: the press release referred to this vote as "a groundbreaking first". It's hardly that; here at TVShowsOnDVD we've been giving our readers that opportunity
as far back as January 2004. And I don't think we were the originators of that concept, either. However, the press release top also mentions an HD DVD release of
Razor in passing, a mention that's not confirmed anywhere else in the body of the press release, nor in Universal's official info for the release, nor at any online retailer listing. So it seems that the fact-checking in this press release maybe could have been tighter.
But putting all that aside, there are three very nice cover art choices given
at the official voting page. Voting has started, so go ahead and make your choice for which one you prefer to see on your shelf! You've got until Sept. 7th to cast your vote. The winner is displayed on Sept. 14th. The feature airs on Sci Fi on Nov. 24th, and the DVD ships on
December 4th (
pre-order from Amazon). Below is a preview of your three cover art choices (but vote for them at the link given just above).
A final word: we know that everyone's wondering what is going on with the DVD announcement for the third season of the show. We're looking into it, never fear. Since the fourth (and final) season won't air until sometime after the new year, though, the hold-up is probably because of a street date in late December or early January. Just our theories, nothing firm yet. We'll let you know!
