Science Fiction lovers of the world rejoice! Amazon is offering a Cyber Tuesday deal on the complete series of the Sci Fi epic Battlestar Galactica. Instead of the list price of $299.98, you can pick up the complete series Blu-ray boxed set for just $119.99, or the DVD boxed set for $80.99. This is a one-day gold box deal, good on Tuesday, November 30th, only.

Our own Chris Chiarella reviewed the Blu-ray set, albeit in slightly different packaging, and found that it offered exceptional audio and video quality to match the compelling story. The picture quality only improves as the series progresses. The set received 4 out of 4 stars.
The boxed set also features a wealth of extras, including deleted scenes, multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes (the more recent ones in HD), video blogs and a still gallery. A running audio commentary is supplied for several episodes, usually provided by executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick. The discs also include BD-Live and new cutting-edge interactive features, under the "U-Control" banner.
On a related note, the cult classic Sci Fi series Firefly is also on sale this week as Amazon's Blu-ray Boxed Set of the week. For the next few days, the price has dropped all the way to $25.00 (72% off the list price of $89.99). You can find that one here:
While the Firefly deal will be available all week, the Battlestar Galactica deal is good today only, or while supplies last, so snag one now if you want it.
