This season has been released today here in Mexico, the cover art is different (better in my opinion), it has some featurettes, an Easter egg featuring the appearance of Jack and Chloe on The Simpsons, deleted scenes, the alternate ending which is basically a slightly longer version in which jack throws his gun on the sea, webcast diaries, sprint webisodes that feature Jack being interrogated about Marcus Holt.

Anyway here I have some pictures from the packaging, as well a gallery with screencaps of the menus and extras:

... and then Tony rises from the water, right?..... right?!!

A little over a week away to release! I wonder which stores will have what exclusives?

I'm curious...how often do you (have you) guys watched your 24 season sets? Do you get repeat viewings out of them?

And by the way, that DVD packaging in Mexico looks incredible--especially the photos inside.

Personally I re-watched season 1,2,3

I watched most of the bonus material on those sets as well.

Season 4 I only watched the bonus material.

Season 5 I listened to the commentary on the season premiere with Kiefer and watched the bonus material.

As for season 6, I'm going to watch the premiere with Kiefer's commentary and watch all the bonus material. I may check out Abu Fayed's commentary as well.

How is the commentary on the 24 discs?

The Britain/Mexico packaging looks miles better than the Region 1 version.

I have mixed feelings about this season. The good parts (especially the opening four episodes) were outweighed by a bunch of factors (the horrid prequel, Graem Bauer and the family drama, Morris' magic alcohol problem, CTU getting taken over by terrorists again). I don't know. After seeing the preview for season 7, I don't have much hope. The only seasons I cared for were the first and third.

The commentaries are definitely worth a listen. Jon Cassar and Kiefer's commentary in the season 5 premiere is actually very good.

Are they ever going to release this on bluray/hd format?

Has anyone gotten this earlier, I am wondering where the easter egg Simpsons episode will be.

The press release says it's on Disc 7, so I assume it shouldn't be that hard to find.

Even though I was disappointed by season 6, I'm still looking forward to watching it all at once. I rewatched season 1 once, 2 twice, 4 twice, 5 once. Love the series!

Season 3 gets the most replay value out of me...by far my favorite season!

Here's my gameplan for going through this set:

Will watch the 1st 4 episodes.

Will watch the premiere with Howard Gordon and Kiefer Sutherland commentary.

Will sporatically watch certain episodes with commentary.

Finally, will watch the entire bonus disc.

I definitely have no plans to sit through all 24 episodes of this again.

I have seen seasons 1-5 every esipode at least 5 times, maybe more due to wgn and a&e showing it daily. I didn't start watching the show til season 4 but I brought the dvds for the 1st 3 after season 4 ended on tv. Season 5 by far is the best season, I would go 3, 1, 4, 2, 6. Season 5 was so damn good, anything that didn't match it would have been bad. Season 6 the first 4 hours was awesome, everyone knows that, but after that it went completely downhill.

I will buy season 6 no doubt.

BTW the person who asked if 24 will ever release in hd or blu-ray. I think they will eventually be release in blu-ray. Prison break season 1 recently came out in blu-ray.

Thanks for the info king felix.. Ya i noticed prison break on bd as well so i figured i'd hold off on buying the seasons until they release on the new hd format.

I rarely, if ever, feel the urge to rewatch them. I bought the first two seasons (Season 1 was a blind buy so I could get caught up for Season 2 on TV), and of those, I've watched S1 all the way through once (to watch it the first time), then halfway through another time. I don't think I watched all the way through my S2 set (again, I quit about halfway), but I did look at all the special features. The documentary was pretty good.

I sometimes toy with the idea of picking up some more season sets when they go on Black Friday sales & such, since I'm somewhat interested in the special features, but I never follow through. I have other shows that I'd rather rewatch.

One of my co-workers, who's an absolute DVD addict, decided to sell off his entire 24 collection because he woke up one day and decided it had zero replay for him.

It's pretty subjective whether or not these DVD sets or all TV on DVD in general has any replay value for the consumer. Some people watch it once and that's enough for them and others like myself occassionally like to re-visit a good epiosde and watch all the extras. If you don't feel the urge to spend the 40-50 bucks on this set, then by all means hold off and wait until it gets discounted.

Who has the bonus bonus discs? I have the Sunday's ad and it does not look like any store is advertising a bonus DVD. Anyone know something that is not advertised?

Thanks

The only exclusive I've seen mentioned for this is a film cell at BB.

Just got my set from DVDempire today. Looks very nice. It also encludes a trading card for the card came of 24 and a booklet of promotional offers including a coupon for a free 20 oz. bottle of Vault energy drink.

Anybody know if Costco will have a good price on this? To me, even the worst season of 24 is still more entertaining than most stuff out there.

Let us know how to find the easter egg if you can.

I can wait till I find this season for < $20.
