The retail price for the BD is too high. Hopefully, Amazon will have a deal for the set.

Guarantee buy for me on release day!

Oh so far away...

Plan on adding to my collection...

Yes!!! I'm going to get in line tomorrow. Pretty pissed how Ben and Jack died and the whole Sawyer transgender subplot came out of nowhere, still woohoo!!

Little late for April fools, fool.

TVshowsondvd.com is reporting that a Dharma Initiation Kit set will be released for both DVD and BD. More info here:

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'll wait for the super-deluxe package that will invariably come out after season six makes its DVD debut. I'm tired of buying season sets only to be screwed out of some awsome packaging and extras for a series set.

Same here. Love this show, but will wait for the inevitable complete series set which hopefully (if they package it right) will take up less shelf space than six individual seasons.

Damn those dirty apes! They knew I was holding out buying any more seasons in hope the complete series set would be worth the wait then they pull crap like this. DAMN THEM!

Wow, I'm not even sure if my VHS player even works anymore to play that tape. Still cool though.

That kit is amazing. And I love that the DVDs are housed in floppy discs! Also, I'll bet you the VHS contains a clue or preview or bonus of some sort. Guess I'll be out in the garage digging the vcr out soon.

I must have it. That is the best DVD set I've seen in a long while.

Count me in for a copy. It's about time!

Those responses are the exact opposite of the ones in the BD thread.

I know, right? You'd think the extra money on this set would be better used towards a BD player.

Get your shit together, guys!

Any idea if those bonuses will be on the Blu-Ray version as well?

Still trying to figure out if the Dharma version has a 'normal' Blu-ray case inside of it.

That's very interesting!
But where did you get this?
As of now they "only" advertise the regular and the Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit of "Lost: The Complete Fifth Season" on their website and neither mentions the exclusive bonus disc, unfortunately ...
I'd love to get a Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit including the exclusive bonus disc!

I'm wondering now if Best Buy is the only place you can get the extra Geronimo Jackson disc. I'll need to know that pretty soon so I can cancel my Amazon pre-order. Best Buy's price actually beats Amazon right now ($84.99) for the BD. I hope they don't pull one of those things where every place has a different bonus disc.

The Geronimo Jackson disc is part of the Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit of "Lost: The Complete Fifth Season" which is available almost everywhere. It's just an audio CD single of the song "Dharma Lady" which already was released on iTunes for free in March.
But I'm hoping the exclusive bonus disc will be the bonus DVD which was exclusive to HMV and JB Hi-Fi in the UK and Australia, respectively!
