Battlestar Galactica recap comes to Xbox Live as a free download
The third season of Battlestar Galactica is premiering in October, and the Sci-Fi channel is pulling out all the stops to promote it. It has put together a television special, titled Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far, summing up the key events of the Battlestar Galactica mini series and its first two seasons.
NBC Universal will also be targeting gamers with its PR offensive by releasing The Story So Far on Xbox Live Marketplace in its entirety. Though both seasons of Battlestar Galactica are already available on iTunes, the special will be the “first longform program ever to be offered” on Xbox Live.
While exciting for fans of the show with Xbox 360s, the announcement was short on information about the The Story So Far on Xbox Live. No date was given for the release of the program, nor was its size revealed.
Since it’s a promo, we’ll assume it’s a free download. No idea if it’ll be HD with 5.1 surround sound though, but I imagine if they pulled that off the “pay once, download again and again” Xbox Live Marketplace motto could lead the way to digital Xbox 360 TV series downloads.
The Xbox Live announcement had no information on the rumored Battlestar Galactica RPG which series creator Ronald D. Moore mentioned when he spoke at the 2006 Game Developers Conference.
