Good to hear. Not sure if I'll buy the DVDs or not (I like the show, but am not addicted to it), but it's good to know the DVDs will have some good extras on it, too.

Here's some news that made me VERY happy:

Yeah, I figured that Buena Vista HAD to up the disc when I read that the finale was two hours (and that clip show). Hooray!

 

[Prentice Cotham]

Is this thing going up in price? Best Buy upped their price to 69.99 for some reason. Everyone else is showing the normal price.

 

[TravisR]

They probably just messed it up on their website. I'm sure they'll correct it soon

 

[Rakesh.S]

69.99? damn

coconuts has it listed, along with DH, for 39.99 - 10 mail in for a final price of 29.99

 

[Matt_Vaudrin]

I don't care how much it is, I love LOST, and will pay just about any amount for it on DVD.

LOST is the thrilling adventure of 48 survivors of a plane crash, all stranded on an island that holds many secrets.
Matthew Fox (“Party of Five”) stars as Jack, the quick-thinking doctor and group leader.

Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic.
Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had — like Kate (Evangeline
Lilly), who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. Hurley (Jorge Garcia,
TV’s “Becker”) — a man with a warm sense of humor despite the desperate situation — does his best to keep his
cool as he helps those around him to survive. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan, “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy) is a
faded rock star who harbors a painful secret. Sayid (Naveen Andrews, “Bride and Prejudice”) is a Middle Eastern
man who must wrestle with the racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors.

Jin (Daniel Dae Kim, TV’s “24”) and Sun (Yunjin Kim, “Shiri”) are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and
language are foreign, causing much to get lost in the translation. Sawyer (Josh Holloway, TV’s “Sabretooth”) has
an air of danger surrounding him, and his intense sense of mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be fatal
to his fellow castaways. Michael (Harold Perrineau, TV’s “Oz”) has just gained custody of his nine-year-old son,
Walt (Malcolm David Kelley, “Antwone Fisher”), after the death of his ex-wife — they are a father and son who
don't even know each other. Locke (Terry O'Quinn, TV’s “The West Wing”) is a mysterious man who keeps to
himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to the island than any of the others. Claire (Emile de Ravin, TV’s
“The Beastmaster”) is pregnant. Self-centered Shannon (Maggie Grace, TV’s “Cold Case”) and her estranged
controlling brother, Boone (Ian Somerhalder, TV’s “Young Americans”), constantly bicker and must learn to get
along if they are to survive.

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if
they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious creatures
stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack
and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.

J.J. Abrams (creator of “Alias”) and Damon Lindelof, who co-created LOST, serve as executive producers along
with Bryan Burk, Carlton Cuse and Jack Bender. LOST, which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii, is from
Touchstone Television.

Maybe I've just missed it (or maybe no one's mentioned it in press releases or reviews) but I don't think The Journey (the clip show) is included on the set. It's not that big of a deal since it's just a clip show but I'm sure there will be people who won't buy the set because of that.

 

[Natalie F]

Who the hell would want that clip show? It was one of the most boring hours of television I've ever seen, and completely pointless. I'm happy that they're not wasting space on the discs on that

 

[MarkHarrison]

I'm very excited about this set. I missed the show when it first aired. Then I missed it again when they reshowed everything last fall. I finally got in on the summer re-runs, but it's bugging me that they've been skipping episodes lately. I'm thinking I'll just cancel my season pass at this point and wait for the DVDs to finish watching the first season.

[AlexF]

stupid exclusive discs. i _really_ hate that crap. a lot. *sigh*

especially when there aren't any best buys nearby for those few items that have a worthwhile extra bonus disc to make you spend your extra money at that particular shop to get the item. if the material is there, it should be made available to everyone.

but that's just my rant for the week.

 

[TravisR]

I agree that that bites for the people who don't have a Best Buy near them but fortunately you're not missing much. I love Lost but The Journey is just like all the "Previously On Lost"s put together into an episode.

That being said, I'm going to camp out to make sure that I don't miss the bonus disc

 

[RyanAn]

Oh, I can not wait for this set! It looks wonderful! Hope that your stores actually gets the bonus disc on time! I remember spending 4 or 5 bucks more on the Friday the 13th set, only for them not to get more than 3 in stock, selling out in a matter of minutes, and not even containing the bonus disc.

Ryan

 

[Natalie F]

Hehe. Well it's a good thing I don't want it since the closest Best Buy is a several hour plane ride away :p)

 

[Ryan_Guah]

Well, I pre-ordered Lost on DVD from Best Buy last week... but I should still be sent this bonus disc, right?

 

[TravisR]

I would imagine so but if you wanted to be safer you could cancel your pre-order and re-pre-order it using that link above

 

[Josh_HI]

Will this Lost Best Buy Exclusive Disc be available in Best buy stores on Sept 6th? Or is this a preorder on the net deal? Just wondering because it says Offer is good through 9/10/05. Lost (Season 1) releases 9/6/05.

 

[TravisR]

There's never been a Best Buy bonus disc that has been an exclusive to their website so I'd say it'll be available in stores too (especially since this will probably be one of the biggest TV releases of the year).
