great deal, thanks!

[VAMPYRE XX]

I was waiting for this price..thanks

[flashburn]

Awesome, thanks!

[Michael Corvin]

Damn. Just bought this last week off half.com for $50. :sad:

[speedyray]

Wow, I was just under 30 days and got a big price adjustment from Amazon. Down in the low 30s now with my previous 10% discount.

[dx23]

Thanks!!!!

[rfduncan]

Hmm. I'm on the fence. I wonder if I'd watch this again more than once...

EDIT: They say they're running out, and I realized I had a $25 GC in my account! Hello $14.99 LOST S3 on Blu-ray! :lol:

[dan30oly]

Bought!

[kenbenobi]

I had to get in on this action, and I don't even have a Blu Ray player yet... But I know it's inevitable... Does anyone know if the Blu Ray includes the content that was on the Walmart bonus disc? Probably not, but I thought I'd double check...

[bookcase3]

This is indeed a great price, but I already have the SD set and I can't fork over another $40 for a series that I will only watch once.

I don't have a playet yet either, but had to jump in on this (and have bought a bunch of other discs with promotions this last month). I'm waiting to see about another ps3 price drop, or at least a different game/movie package and the rumble controller.

[flashburn]

Never watched an episode of Lost...so I am passing.
:lol: Why even bother posting then?

[Chew]

Between the great price and reading the gushing review over at highdefdigest, it was pretty impossible to pass this deal up. :)

[BravesMG]

Awesome deal, thanks for posting that. I lost an Ebay bidding war for about $47-50 last week :).

[Michael Corvin]

:lol: Why even bother posting then?

Or even clicking on the thread where the deal is clearly spelled out in the subject. :up:

I purchase TV sets all the time without watching them first. That way the video/audio quality is better and I don't have to sit through commercials. Although if you bought season 3, you would have to buy season 1 and 2 as well, so I can see where you are coming from. But your post is still kind of pointless when you think about it.

[zdzjxh]

wonderful posting. bought! thanks.

[justbarelymovin]

I was hesitant, but I doubt it'll get cheaper than this anytime soon. I absolutely love Lost! Count me in. :)

I have the bonus disc since I purchased the SD version back on release day and going by the titles of the bonus features the Wal-Mart bonus disc material is not on the BD version.

I'll know for sure when Amazon sends me my new BD version. Thanks to the OP for the heads up.

I figured as much. I know the material of several older bonus discs were included on some HD releases, but that is probably because the exclusive rights to the material lapsed. I was just hoping... I will probably just acquire the bonus disc somehow so my set feels "complete"... Thanks for the info. And a huge thanks to the OP. I doubt we'll find a price like this again, at least not for a long time...

Anyone read anything about Seasons 1 and 2 coming out in Blu-ray?

I implied that he meant he bought it for more money thinking it was worth it at that price, so others considering it should definitely pick it up at THIS price.

And your editing of that original post makes it more pointless still.

The argument of why you came into this thread in the FIRST place is still valid regardless of the pointlessness issue. Essentially you've sort of made a case that you vaguely wanted to threadcrap... how else could you explain your post?

$200 per season? -eek- Come off it Di$ney. Even your $ name doesn't do that pricing justice!

[Knives]

You'll be lost without seeing Season 1 or 2 first!

I was trying to end the discussion, that is why I placed it in my original thread instead of going on with the discussion. I did originally have it end the end of the thread. Discussion is over as far as I am concerned. Others voiced their opinion. I wasn't aware entering a thread and stating that I never saw the show so I wasn't going to purchase was considered "bad."

So even though it was not directly said, you assumed he meant exactly what you thought yet somehow I was thread crapping. Okay.

As far as thread crapping, I did no such thing. Had I said, that shows sucks, then I would agree.

But, since some didn't care for me saying what little I did say, I'll remove the post. And for those confused..

Blake should make this ridiculousness a separate thread..

[Maxflier]

Already have season 3 on plain ole' DVD, but for $40 bucks i'm all over this!
Thanks a lot for the post!

[ThomaMon]

I just grabbed my copy! What to do with my SD Lost Season 3 now???

[kenbenobi]

They're trying to copy Star Trek TOS I guess (which retails for $217.99) However, I will NEVER pay over $100 for a single season of ANY show, no matter how good it is, let alone $200. They can kiss my you know what...

The ridiculous thing is, they already released S3 for $97, so why should earlier seasons cost more?

Anyway, I know this whole subject is off-topic and should really be part of the main forum--there probably is a thread already. But for 40 bucks, damn good price. Even though my S1 and S2 are on SD, so be it. At least they're widescreen...

[conehead433]

Makes me want to buy a BR player. I also already have the SD version. I'd buy it for later, but I think I'll wait for BD players to be more reasonably priced, or until I get my new HTPC built with either a BD or combo drive. I already have the XBox 360 add on as well as a HD-A2. I spent way too much money over the holidays so I must resist. You could always ebay the SD version or give it to someone as a gift.

[kmac2878]

I'm in ...

[HyperWeather]

Hm.. I think this is a sign, I ordered a PS3 last week, and its coming today, and this is the goldbox deal today. Only own season 1 so far, and only caught a bit of it, but I know I'll love it so I'm in for one :).

[VAMPYRE XX]

just watch season's 1 and 2 upconverted from the standard edition's and then watch Season 3 on BD Hi Def. Those prices for season 1 and 2 have got to be wrong. They want to make money don't they? Look how many of these S3 they will sell now that they are $40. They are still making money at the $40 price and picking up more people that will potentiallly watch the show season 4 on up on TV. Then they can charge more for advertising. Disney knows how to make money. The prices will not be that high if Disney is smart. I have a feeling that they will change the price on the older season's when they are finally made. For now just try to rent and watch it upconverted from your player. At least so you can know what's going on in the story.

Aren't you all arguing about an article that was written well over a year ago!?! Obviously Disney won't be selling seasons of Lost for $200 as they have (since the article was paosted, way back on Oct 24th, 2006) put out season 3 for $100.

That being said, I have broken two of my rules: no more seasons of Lost and no more blu-ray TV seasons to pick this one up for $40. Sure, still having a couple of hundred left in store credit helped the decision. I probably never would have paid $40 cash. Also, getting a chance to rewatch the end of last season before the start of this season was really tempting.

If you don't mind shopping at a TWEC store(FYE/Suncoast/Strawberries/Saturday Matinee/etc), then you can trade it in for store credit. According to the wherehouse.com site, Lost Season 3 is trading in for $15. If you take store credit at FYE, then you'll get an additional 25%. They also have a "brown bag" promotion right now that would net you an extra 20%. So, the store credit would be worth $21.75.

[VAMPYRE XX]

I just found the engadget article talking about the possibility of Lost season 1 on Blu Ray at $20 per disk (over $200 for the whole season). Please keep in mind that the article is dated Oct. 24th 2006 just after season 2 was completely aired on regular Television. Season 3 was just starting on it's 3rd episode on TV the week this article came out. Blue Ray players had barely been out a week when this was written. I am sure we can all agree that this is old news and the season's will obviously be cheaper when they finally arrive. We are just in a transitional period right now. Spread the word about Blu Ray. Convince your friends to buy in and they will make stuff we want faster (...and hopefully cheaper).

I own neither S1 nor S2, but this set got such great reviews I may just Tivo the 8 existing episodes and watch them after I rewatch the S3 Blu-rays. I know there's so much I forgot about! :brickwl:

I was just in FYE today and there was something I wanted but didn't want to spend the money! Thanks :)

I missed that. A very valid point... Too much time has passed, and S3 was obviously not priced that high... Thanks for pointing that out!

[davidh777]

I never got the SD so I'm in! :banana:

[Trinitron]

Just emailed for a price adjustment on this =

[Dutin]

Nice Deal! Makes me almost want to go Blue!

[awil1026]

Bought it a few days ago, emailed for price adjustment.

[DVD Polizei]

Hmmm. I liked S1 but thought S2 was...retarded. Is S3 better? Don't have a Bru-lay player yet, though. :p

[awil1026]

I loved S1, was disappointed by S2, thought S3 started out slowly, BUT man did it pick up! Overall, I thought the season was very good and I can't wait for S4 to start.

[geauxwdw]

I bought it two weeks ago, and Amazon nicely gave me an $18 credit!

Did you call or e-mail? I e-mailed early this morning and have not gotten a response yet.

I emailed early afternoon and already got a response.

I emailed early this morning and just got a response for $18 credit. I wasn't expecting so much since I only paid $47 for it a month ago.

They've probably made a mistake thinking that current price is $29.99 instead of $39.99. I hope you are not complaining.

[Chip718]

I was 1 day of the 30 days and they would not give me the $18 credit.

[GogoTheMimic]

Damn, looks like it's gone already. I put it in my cart and went all the way to the final stage and it still shows $57.99 :/

[kmac2878]

It was yesterday's (01/29/08) gold box deal ...

[Sparrow]

Excellent price, I sent in for a refund of $18 yesterday and noticed the credit this morning. At $58, it was a great deal, so at $40, it's a steal.

Thanks OP!

[Adboy151]

I got my credit late last night — and I had originally used the DVDSAVES5 coupon — so $34.99 was my final out-of-pocket. Excellent.

[kyle]

Damn, looks like it's gone already. I put it in my cart and went all the way to the final stage and it still shows $57.99 :/

I didn't think they were going to give me the price match for my old order. The guy on the phone said it was too late, but I e-mailed anyway.
I ordered yesterday, planning to use this to return the old order. However, it looks like they did match after all from the e-mail, so I may have an extra one that would be available for $40 + $3 shipping--PM me if interested (just waiting to hear from another list if anyone local was interested)

[Sweet Baby James]

I was 1 day of the 30 days and they would not give me the $18 credit.Send a second email. I've been gunned down before on my first attempt. However, I did get the adjustment on my second request.

[geauxwdw]

I called, it's quick and easy.

[Chip718]

Is it still possible since the deal is over?

[Sweet Baby James]

Is it still possible since the deal is over?
It can't hurt to try. Just tell them that you noticed that the price was $39.99 yesterday and that since your order was so recent, please cough up a refund.:)

Looks like I have a local taker, so no longer available.

And as for the price match thing--I've done that before--when I saw I had a goldbox offer, I was still able to get the price match from a previous order via the e-mail form.

[skacore]

Just sent them an email, hope its not to late. Got it for 57.99 on the 16th. Thanks for the heads up guys, never thought it would work.

Holy crap! I received mine already! Got it a few hours ago. I signed up for a free month of amazon prime, but still I can't expect receiving it 24 hours later!

[abrg923]

Amazon Prime is amazing. I bought the subscription a week ago, and 3 of the 4 orders I've placed have had the free 2 day shipping upgraded to overnight for no cost. This one is the only one that didn't - I'll have it on Friday.
