Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: Loved everything about this. I always want more extras but for a show with one short season we probably everything there is.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Blu-ray not worth it
Comment: The blu-ray version isn't worth it. It is an improvement, but I'm not feeling the full HD experience I've come to expect, and only a few extra features/commentaries have been added.
If you are purchasing the series for the first time, you may as well go with the blu-ray. But if you own the DVD, I wouldn't rush to buy this one.

Summary: it is what it is...
Comment: considering the source(if it's not shot in HD,it will only be as good as the source)this is the best picture you will get for this show,if you have a good set up for Blueray.you will also get better sound than the DVD.as for the show,if you have seen it and do not love it i cannot help you...now about a Buffy Blueray....
Customer Rating:
Summary: Better, still some grain, special effects in SD res
Comment: Only caught the series AFTER it was canceled, and have become a browncoat, to the point that, yes, I actually do wear a brown coat I bought when Serenity came out. It's a series worth checking out. The chances you'll become that much of a nerd are very low, so don't be afraid. :)
Picture quality is high compared to the original DVDs, detailed and clearer, though since the series is fairly dark at points, there's some definite noise (looks like film grain, actually) in the black backgrounds (at least on my set, a Mitsubishi). Despite initial rumors, special effects sequences remain at 480i (upconverted) instead of being re-rendered to 1080p. That's occasionally annoying if you're looking for it, but otherwise not. Sound is greatly improved.
As others have pointed out, the set is shy on new extras, which is too bad. Enjoyed the extra commentary and the partial reunion, would have appreciated more.
Packaging seems decent for a blu-ray multipack. One review complains about the packaging, but I found it efficient and not problematic (case opens with one middle piece. Middle piece has a disc on each side, third disc is on the back of the open case. I've seen worse: some mass-DVD multipacks with two dvds overlapping each other so you have to remove one to get at the other...)
Worth the money if you have a good HD set. If you're not sure, rent the first episodes from Netflix or Blockbuster.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great show - Cheap packaging
Comment: I love this show. Joss Whedon hit a major home run and Fox was too blind to see that they had a hit in the making... at least with fans of science fiction and maybe, had they been a little patient, even more.
That said, the lack of the fifth star in my rating is due to cheap packaging. I had previously bought the DVD set as I didn't know if there would be a blu-ray version (still waiting for Torchwood season 2 on blu-ray) and it is quite nice. It's a box set. Each disc has it's own sleeve with a different character on its cover and the all of these are in a box. However the blu-ray is cheap by comparison. A single standard plastic case with all of the discs sandwiched into it.
It appears to me that Fox responded to the demand for a blu-ray version of this but only gave as much as it absolutely had to. I do hope the one reviewer is wrong and that the picture quality is better than the DVD set.
