After years of aspiring to have the show released for DVD, fans got their wish yesterday with CBS/Paramount's long-awaited
announcement that
Vega$ - The 1st Season, Volume 1 will be coming out on
October 20th. We didn't have box art at the time, but today the studio has circulated a look at the packaging; you can check that out below.
We had some questions over the contents of the release, and earlier today asked CBS DVD to clarify whether or not the double-length pilot film, "High Roller," would be included along with the first half of the show's 22-episode regular first season run. We've held out hoping to get an answer for you today, but at the time of this writing the studio hasn't yet responded.
However, it's not looking good at this point to expect the pilot. Information sent to retailers yesterday afternoon describes the contents this way: "
3-disc set includes the first 11 action-packed and cool first season episodes of VEGA$!" No mention of the "23rd" episode, the pilot, was made. If we find out anything differently, though, we'll certainly let you know, so stay tuned!
UPDATE: CBS DVD has now answered the question regarding the contents of this release. You can find the details in
our brand-new post!
