katikatAccording to TVShowsOnDVD.com:
They want to split up a season that's only 16 episodes long? Are they totally bonkers or what? I mean, I like the show but I will think twice of buying these DVDs. To pay 30 bucks for 8 episodes regardless of the bonus features is crazy.
And the rest of S3 won't start until July? That's what? An 8 months break between the 1st and the 2nd half? I thought that Eureka was SyFy's best rated sci-fi show! In July, that's when usually a new season starts, not the 2nd half of it! Sheesh, and I thought that USA Network was nuts when they split Psych in half - at least they are putting the whole season in one box. Sheesh! *hands*
In a move that will remind fans of some Battlestar Galactica DVD releases, Universal Studios Home Video has informed retailers that they will sell the third season of Eureka in split-season sets, as befitting the show's 2008-09 broadcast schedule on the Sci Fi Channel (soon to be renamed "SyFy"). Today, retailers were informed that Eureka - Season 3.0 will come to DVD on June 30th, a short time prior to the the begin airdate for the second half of the 3rd season (episode airings start back up again on July 10th).
This will be a 2-DVD set with 8 episodes, running approx. 350 minutes. (...) Cost will be $29.98 SRP.
