Only 10 pounds for complete series. This is the new version of Battlestar Galactica, not the old one from 1978.
Doesn't seem to include Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, but even so it is still a bargain for 10 pounds. It would be nice to have a box set which includes everything, but for such massive saving, I'm personally quite happy to get The Plan separately.

Enjoy.

MOD EDIT DEAL IS A MISTAKE. LOOKS LIKE ORDERS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, THREAD IS NOW LOCKED.

If you want to have your say about Amazon and the way it treats customers with pricing errors go to the forums and if thread is there add your flames etc there. Or open a new thread if it hasn't been started.

According to a post in this thread Amazon does reserve the right to cancel orders if a pricing error occurs. Not saying its fair, but it does exist….

    Does anyone know if this includes the webisodes? It seems to contain all the extended episodes and a copy of the extended version of "Razor", however; it doesn't contain "The Plan" and I can't find anything about the two sets of webisodes (season 2 -> season 3 and season 3 -> season 4).

    • mooiamacow on 13/09/2010 - 13:27

      the comment in the comments on amazon said it doesn't include the webisodes or much of any extra features.

      • Schpeedy on 13/09/2010 - 13:37

        If you look at the title for that you'll see they are referring to the dvd version.

        The blueray version appears to have different special features which are in line with the american version. It definitly has the "Razor" webisodes although does call them "Battlestar Razor bonus: Minisodes x7".

        Also according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlestar_Galactica:_The_Resis… the series 2 -> series 3 webisodes SHOULD be on all blueray releases somewhere (but not on the DVD versions), however i'm thinking the series 4 -> series 4.5 probably isn't.

        Still, shouldn't compain.

    Does anybody know what the ref=sr_1_6?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1284338445&sr=1-6 does in the URL?

    • lano on 13/09/2010 - 13:30

      UTF8 = Unicode encoding.
      Apart from that, no idea. I assume that qid= is a unique identifier for each shopping session. Changing the ref #'s and QID # doesn't appear to do much.

    Jesus just told me this is a price error. 0% chance guys (IMO) Of course I still ordered but made sure not to add anything else to the cart. Probably done on purpose to catch sci-fi freaks and get them to spend big.

    If by some chance this is going to work, they would have ran out of stock 3000 customers ago.

  • DVDGuy on 13/09/2010 - 15:05

    I do think Amazon UK will deal with this fairly. Probably won't honour it, but those that have added other items in the cart will get a chance to cancel the entire order. They might even throw in some free credits or something as a way to make up for the error and confusion.

        +6

        Meh, i honestly don't care about any potential negs. My understand is that if someone out there finds a good deal and posts it here than that person deserves a +. If the company doesn't honor the deal, how is that poster's fault? Its not in any shape or form. When the deal was found, it was active and people could order. What happens after that is not posters fault and the person who already negged me, well as i said, i don't really care about it, but i hope you feel great about yourself because you gave a negative based on a guess that this 'might' be a mistake. You might be right, but the bottom line is, you don't know. Nobody does at this point.

          and +/- on a post is usually directed at the post not the poster anyway. not to do with "poster's fault".

          edit: and thanks for posting this deal i dont care if its honoured or not, you get my +

          • allyemil on 13/09/2010 - 16:24

            @kimmik: Yeah i figured that out after i posted my msg already. It wasn't meant to criticise theguyrules anyway and that is my comment in general as well. Good deal and great bargain IMO deserves a + every time it is actually on. If retailer goes back on their deal and orders are canceled, then that is not the fault of the poster here. At the time the deal was valid. That is all that matters.

        • manbearpig on 13/09/2010 - 16:25

          Why are you being so defensive? I'm not having a go at you (the poster). You obviously don't understand the meaning behind votes. Votes are directed at the deals, not the person who posts the deal, and that is exactly where my vote is directed at.

          I appreciate it that people post deals, regardless of whether they're bargains or not because they took the time to post it. At the end of the day though, you vote on the deal and by giving it a neg I've brought more awareness to the fact that people are more than likely not going to get this 'bargain'. That's what voting is for.

          By your logic, I could post a laptop selling on ebay for $1 when it's clearly a scam, and say "It deserves only + votes though because what the seller does afterwards has nothing to do with me!" If I did that, do you not think people would give me neg votes? Of course they would.

          Geez, you sure are taking this personally aren't you.

          • allyemil on 13/09/2010 - 16:32

            @manbearpig: Well for one, I AM the poster. I'm by no means being defensive at all. I am simply stating my opinion. As for your example of eBay, how about you compare apples and oranges. You are talking about scammers heaven when you talk about eBay. Amazon on the other hand is very solid and reliable.

            • manbearpig on 13/09/2010 - 16:57

              @allyemil: Yes, I know you're the poster. And yes, you're being defensive. You're annoyed at the fact that I gave the DEAL a neg and you're taking it personally.

              Whether you think eBay is scammers heaven is besides the point. It's a perfectly fair comparison. By your logic, if I was to post that laptop deal (change it to $300 to make it more realistic) even if I didn't know it wouldn't be honoured, and even if I only had good intentions to inform others, the deal should still only get positive votes. That's not right.

    Oh yeah and just to add to my last post, i'd rather see deals that seem to be too good to be true posted here so people can take advantage of it rather than assume that it is not going to be honored and miss out on it if by any chances it is not a mistake.
    But seem like posters get negged for that. Well done to everyone who does that, just to be different. Certainly something to be proud of.

    • sparkles on 13/09/2010 - 16:03

      That was the price all along - 9.97 pounds converts to AUD$20.98 once the VAT (UK equivalent of GST) is deducted and then postage added.
