The Gold Box deal of the day over at Amazon today is Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series box set on DVD and Blu-ray for 60% off.

Note, this sale is valid only for today, Tuesday November 30, until midnight PST while supplies last.

The DVD is discounted to $80.99 (down from the list price of $199.98), while the Blu-ray set is $119.99 (down from the list price of $299.98).

Also, for today only, buy either BSG set along with Caprica: Season 1.0 DVD, which is $32.99, and you will save an additional $8 off the entire cost. (Savings will be reflected when you add both items to your Shopping Cart.)

Both the BSG Blu-ray and DVD box sets contain all four seasons of the television series, as well as television movie Battlestar Galactica – The Plan, and include a host of bonus materials.

The Plan is the new Battlestar Galactica prequel that fills us in on some of the storylines that we’ve seen, but from the other side of the fence: the Cylons’ point of view. The movie is directed by Admiral William Adama himself (Edward James Olmos) and will feature most of your favorite stars and characters. A teaser trailer for the movie was released a while back (and has since been pulled), but now you can see the new trailer for the show right here!

Back in August, Olmos appeared on Attack of the Show and pleaded with the fans to make sure that they purchase the movie when it comes out on October 27, 2009, because if it sold around 350,000 to 500,000 copies in its first day of release, we would see “many plans” (Read: Could Big Numbers For “˜The Plan’ Mean More “˜Battlestar Galactica’?). No one knows what exactly this means, but one would assume there’s a lot more DVD movies like this to be made if the success keeps flowing.

Let’s lead off with my asking forgiveness. I saw this a while ago and meant to write something immediately, but floated off to outer space for a while. It actually took two viewings of the interview to even pick up on it, but that’s just how things work, right?

While doing an interview recently with Attack of the Show, Edward James Olmos spoke about multiple things, including the United Nations meeting and his upcoming Battlestar Galactica directorial effort, The Plan. The science fiction god-among-men — best known as the no B.S. Admiral William Adama on BSG — ended up telling a heated story about the U.N. which every fan should see. When time was running out, he squeezed in a quick-speaking push for all to be sure to watch The Plan, which is a sort of prequel, revisiting some of the crucial situations from the BSG mythology and telling them from the perspective of the Cylons. In this quick reminder, Olmos stated:
