As we reported back in March, the second season of Stargate Universe is coming to DVD this spring (Region 1 – North America). MGM and Twentieth-Century Fox Home Entertainment officially announced the release today, bumping up the release date from the previously reported date of June 7 to May 31! That means you’ll be able to own the final 20 episodes of SGU just 22 days after the last episode airs on Syfy Channel.
Pre-order the 5-disc set now at Amazon.com
The studio isn’t planning a Blu-ray release in the U.S. at this stage — at least not that it has announced yet. It’s certainly possible that it may come later, like the recently announced Stargate Atlantis: The Complete Series — which comes two years after the DVD edition (story).
Once again, that list of bonus features includes:
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.
In the United Kingdom Season Two will be available on both DVD
The Complete Final Season will be available in the U.K. on July 4.

That is ridiculous. I pre-ordered SGA on Blu-ray because I had been waiting for an HD release. I have SGU Season 1 on Blu-ray. I'm not going to pay for an SD copy of a show that I already have recorded in 720p.
If your internet connection is fast enough, Netflix Instant is getting SGU Season 2 episodes already. Last I saw up to 2.15.
Looks like i'll have to buy one soon, before they go out of stock because of people in other countries importing it.
I agree with Austin. Got great news with SGA blu ray but now THIS? This makes absolutely no financial sense. Why would I want to buy a SD version of a series when I already own the first season in HD? Not to mention when I can watch it on Netflix in HD streaming anytime I want. No BD = No purchase. Sorry MGM, I'm a big Stargate fan and a completist when it comes to collection my shows on DVD/Blu ray, but I also like to be consistent in my collections. There's no reason NOT to do it in BD. Its not like shows like Smallville or Doctor Who where earlier seasons were shot in SD but you can buy later seasons on Blu ray.
I thought that releasing Stargate Atlantis on blu ray was their way of throwing a bone to us Stargate fans who are mourning the departure of Stargate from TV, but they keep on doing stuff that makes us even more upset.
And because we haven't been kicked in the teeth enough. Let's give the few remaining fans of a show with the most drop dead gorgeous sfx of any show currently on TV... no Blu Ray release.
Thanks guys. Way to make someone who supported you to the end feel great.
ill wait for the blu ray. It'll eventually be released. Like the article said, its a strategic move to make more money off the series before they shelve it. Theres no possible way that this season dosnt get released on blu ray.
I read this fast and thought it said MGM announces SGU season 3...if only
This Absolutley SUX no season three and now NO BLU RAY Copy just doing DVD only, by gee MGM whats up with yah. The biggest franchise and you're kissing it off.
Ticked. Enough said.
Thanks guys...ordered. Not much else to do in support for now.
