BSG series actually seem to be quite reasonably priced (at least here in NZ,
and I'm assuming our price trends reflect US ones). And early series
should be quite cheap by now, seeing as they're 4 years old.

As another poster said, do start with the mini-series. (You could call it
Season 0, I guess).
