The 26-disc collector’s set includes all 100 episodes from the series, including the extended versions of Season Five’s “Vegas” and “Enemy At the Gate.” It will also include all the bonus material from the individual season releases (the discs are likely the same), including tons of episode commentaries and behind-the-scenes featurettes.
Check out the full press release on Page 2 for a listing of the individual disc contents.
A version of the set was previously released last October (story). While we never saw it ourselves, there was no indication at the time of any bonus material original to this release. Amazon.com
The new set does include a bonus disc, including two new featurettes: “Mission 100: Atlantis Reaches a Milestone,” and “Stargate Atlantis: A Retrospective.”
According to our friends at TV Shows On DVD, the original October release was exclusive to Amazon, and March 23 is the date that the set goes wide to other retailers. While Amazon still lists the set with only 25 discs, they have updated the price and listed the bonus disc’s two featurettes in the product description.
Episodes are presented in their original 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio, with 5.1 Dolby Surround. French and Spanish audio tracks are also available.
There is no word on a Blu-ray release of the Complete Series. MGM tells GateWorld that future high definition releases for the Stargate franchise will depend on viewer demand — seen particularly in how well Stargate Atlantis: Fans’ Choice
The suggested retail price for the new set is $199.98, down from last fall’s $259.98. Fans north of the border will also be happy to see that the Canadian price is now equivalent: $199.98 CAN.

Essentially $200 for new packaging. MGM must be hurting. Now if it were blu-ray I could see the steep price. There is a HD market out there Mr. Producers. You ought to know. You shot the dam show in HD.
I got it last year for $80 thanks to Amazon's gold deal of the day.
And yet again, Eurpean fans don't get this one.
Oh sure, we do get a european release of the whole series, but the boxart for the American release is about a million times better than the european release. And now, with this new release, a bonus disc that other fans in the world won't get.
Talk about rubbing salt into the wound. >:(
i have the single sets. what do i need this for?
There is no reason that I would buy this, espeically at $200.00, for a DVD version. Blu-Ray; yes, DVD Hell No. Time to update if you want sales.
i've never bought any of the movies, couldn't afford it for some time, and my new job isn't paying nearly enough (210), and that's every two weeks, and though i started last week, i don't get paid until next week and once i'm paid, i'm paying a fraction of whom i owe and that's before i buy clothes which i don't have (beyond taters) and need desperately, because i'm a big guy and my clothes are pretty much worn out. And even though i've downloaded eps of most of the shows, in the next few months, i'm buying me a new ps3 and i'm getting me a hd tv, and i'm getting strictly blu-ray, so if you think i'm getting a dvd collectors set for 200 bucks (virtually a weeks pay) and it's dvd; hell man i could download dvd quality stuff now, i want blu-ray so when i spend i have a good reason to. And i'm crazy like that, i purchased two copies of b5 lost tales when i could have downloaded them and jms still canceled the series :( .
Any word on just how well that bluray I designed the cover for has sold? I mean, my entire family each bought copies so that's at least a dozen sold!
ok mgm is screwed and going under everyone knows it its too bad i would be happy to pay $200 for blu also!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP MGM.! mgm could do a pre order for a blu-ray set and just make whats ordered!
If it was Blu-ray, I'd buy it. DVD… no thanks. Don't buy DVD's anymore
I bought all the single sets new for $80 total, why would I pay $120 more for 2 featurettes and not even blu-ray?
