Stargate Atlantis: Season 5 DVD set release date

[wraithfodder]

At last, we  have a date for season 5 of Stargate Atlantis (this means I can erase my DVR's hard drive; it's full of season 5 which I can't bring myself to zap).

reports that season 5 is due out June 30th for $69.98. That's pricey, but it may have extras. Visit the link for all the details. And, most stores discount it heavily in the first week of sales.

That seems like an excessive price considering I got all the rest of them for $45.

The price makes me concerned about MGM's financial state and thus, the future of the SGA movie. :-(

Not gonna by if there are no actor's commentaries. Sorry, but I have no need to hear Joe Moz's thoughts on how great "Whispers" was.

Woah, wtf? Is this some sort of compromise in order to get money for the SGA film? I wonder...

I think they really dropped the ball on that price if it's anywhere near that expensive when it comes out. A lot of people will want to hold off on S5 in hopes of buying a boxed set, and they'll bite themselves in the ASS if they decide that low sales on S5 = no boxed set.

They better have actor commentaries for that sucker or I don't care how pretty it is.

That site always quotes that price, ye when amazon gets the boxsets in it is wayyy lower.

$70!?!?! OMG! Even though I love the show to bits that's just ridiculous! I won’t pay that much for a box of DVDs.

I'm sure it will be lower. I can't remember a time when a DVD set has been the MSRP, unless you're Farscape.

I have all the episodes on my DVR also. I thought I was the only one who did stuff like that.

i got 1-4 for 29.99 each and will be waiting for a reasonable price, tptb have already stated that the extras are slim and no bloopers. so not worth 70 bucks in this economy.

sga s5 dvd and the frikken movie

s5 will be purchased at walmart where you can easily get it for less than $30. On "the" side note, I really wish the jfonline fans would calm down, I mean PuLeasssseeee, you all have yourselves so worked up over NOTHING. Rachel Lutrell mixed her words in an interview and suddenly there is no movie??????? CALM DOWN. If the film is shot in the fall that will NOT interfer with anyone doing any tv projects they all wrap in late august and early sept. Geez they're over there crying their collective eyes out!!!!!!!! Soz, but it's really out o'hand LOLOLOLOLOLOL. PS, not a Moz fan here, but he don-make no decisions he just a writa peeps!

Indeed it seem a bit excessive in price, especially considering the quality of season 5. But then when it comes out on amazon it's usually much lower.

In any case this time I'll wait until the price is super low, I'm not going to spend any big money on a season of which I only enjoyed three or four episodes (I still want to own it though, for capping purpose or just re-watching the bits that I liked).

And reading the other comments, it appears that the bonuses are not worth much either : me not happy as the bonuses are usually my favorite thing since all the way back in SG1. Sad times :(.
