SGU Season Two on DVD June 7, no Blu-ray?

The complete second (and final) season of Stargate Universe arrives on DVD on June 7 (Region 1 – North America), TVShowsOnDVD is reporting.  But there won’t be a high definition Blu-ray edition on offer, according to the site.

Coming with a suggested retail price of $49.98 U.S. and $59.98 Canadian, the 5-disc Season Two set includes all 20 episodes from “Intervention” to “Gauntlet” — still airing on Syfy and SPACE.

Bonus features include episode commentaries and these featurettes:

  • Episode Commentary Tracks
  • Robert Carlyle Directs
  • Andy Mikita Directs
  • Eli’s Mom Comes on Board
  • Brian J. Smith’s First Fight
  • Crashing a Shuttle
  • The Seed Ship With Joe Mallozzi
  • Saying Goodbye to Sgt. Riley
  • Lou Diamond Phillips on Guest Stars
  • Lt. Scott Gets Hit By A Car
  • Inside Cloverdale with Brad Wright
  • How to Get Sucked Into Space
  • SG-U Welcomes You to New Mexico’s Bisti Badlands
  • Deconstructing Destiny
  • A Day in the Life of Jamil Walker Smith
  • Transplant Day
  • Sitting Down with Mike Dopud
  • Bringing the Bridge to Life
  • Louis Ferreria Vs. Colonel Young
  • Pitches: A Journey of Friendship and Discovery
  • Behind the Season 2 Finale – ‘Gauntlet’

Video is presented in anamorphic widescreen, and audio in English – 5.1 Dolby Digital and Spanish – Dolby Digital. The release also includes English and Spanish subtitles.

There’s no info yet on why a Blu-ray release is not on the schedule that TVShowsOnDVD saw, or if one will turn up eventually.  MGM and Fox Home Entertainment took a stab at the high-def format with a handful of Atlantis episodes, in addition to SGU Season One and the movie releases of The Ark of Truth and Continuum.

In the U.K., the Region 2 edition of The Complete Final Season will be released on July 4 — on both DVD (£49.99) and Blu-ray (£59.99).  Pre-order those now at Amazon.co.uk to lock in the current discount price.

  • Any news on the UK release? If the show only comes back in May I will wait the few weeks and just order this instead. Guess talks for carrying this on in another form/medium are not going well in the current cover art has 'the final season'.

  • Where are Scott and Greer on that cover? You'd think they'd make the cut over Telford. Why should the decision making for the cover make any more sense than anything else has for this show though?

  • Of course it'll be on Blu-ray. It's not uncommon at all for press releases to forget to include Blu-ray.

  • Amazon puts a lot of crud as available in Blu-ray someday that isn't yet. So that doesn't mean much.

    I'll be ticked if they don't do Blu-ray, since I bought Season 1 in Blu-ray.

  • This show is so dark and poorly lit all the time bluray HD is the only way you can see what is going on.

    and nothing really happens you need to see anyway So DVd works fine.

  • No blu ray = no buy. I own EVERY Stargate DVD and EVERY Stargate blu ray (except the Atlantis collection) and I own season 1 on Blu ray. Having watched the series in HD throughout its entire run and seen the amazing picture quality of season 1 on blu ray, I can't see myself downgrading the picture quality.
