So I believe that it goes without saying, especially if you're here looking to purchase the entire series, that Battlestar Galactica is one of the BEST shows in recent history, and in my opinion the BEST science-fiction/drama. Previously a friend lent me the individual seasons and I loved them so I decided I wanted to get the complete series, but when I saw the packaging I was APPALLED! Its simply the worst. Flimsy and seemingly bad housing for the DVDs. And NO episode guide?! Looks aside, its terrible packaging.BUT, then I saw the UK version of the box set and frankly it looks a THOUSAND times better. Much more space efficient and packaging conscious and from the photos it looks like it has a booklet etc. This leads me to believe that the UK import is the way to go, my only concern was whether or not it would play on a fairly new American DVD player. Still not sure about that. Open to input.
