24: The Complete Series - December 14th

$350??? Seriously? I can buy the first seven seasons+Redemption for $150 or less.

No way they release it at $350 price, no one in their right mind would buy it.

That's just MSRP. The MSRP added up of the individuals you mention is about that.

I've never seen this show but I would've considered a blind buy at the right price if there was a Blu-ray set. Pretty inexcusable that there won't be one, but that's Fox for you. They're awful.

Even a SRP of $350 is ridiculous considering you can get most of the seasons on sale between $10-$20 each.

And yeah, hate to be that guy but, umm... Blu-ray please.

Still, this will be around $300 when it comes out{$250 at the least}. Still a aboslutely ridiculous price.

Still brings me great joy to think about how much I paid for most of the seasons at Best Buy a few summers ago.

Wow, the price is ridiculous, considering that all seasons are available on Netflix streaming. The packaging also looks rather large.

Love the show, though!

I can't imagine wanting to rewatch much of this show in the first place. I just passed a mint condition copy of Season One for $3 because I figured at least 50% of the excitement would be gone on a second viewing.

Re: 24: The Complete Series - December 14th

I'm betting that this set will take all of the individual season sets recently re-released in the amaray cases and put them in the box similar to Ally McBeal, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Monk.

Ehhh. Looks cool, but I got in on the Best Buy deal a couple of years ago. $350 MSRP sounds about right. The season sets add up to about that. ~$50 A season.

That box looks awesome. I already have seasons 1-6 (used to have s7 on BD, but sold it earlier this year) and the TV movie, and I'm so tempted to buy that. Probably not right away, but possibly down the road somewhere.

As everyone says, depends how much it costs. And I like the clear plastic cases better than the digipaks, so it will have to have those for me to bite.

Ditto! Will wait for a price drop on this one. Never seen the show either but always heard good things about it!

Re: 24: The Complete Series - December 14th

I'd want a blu ray set, but I'm not even sure I'd even want to rewatch this show. After seeing every episode of this show, I'm I a little angry about the conclusion.

I mostly watched the show as it aired and don't have any of the dvd/blu-ray, but I'd buy this if it were a blu-ray set, priced under $200.

Yes, the complete series set contains an exclusive bonus disc of "never-before-seen special features"....here is the info from tvshowsondvd.com:

"One of our retail contacts informs us that the new extras on the bonus disc will include "Chloe's Arrest", "Comic-Con 2009 Panel", a "Season 8 Wrap Party Reel", and a 4-segment item called "Eight Days". Those four segments are subtitled "Jack Bauer: Evolution of a Hero", "Presidents Friends and Villains", "Memories and Moments" and "Goodbye".

Re: 24: The Complete Series - December 14th

Does anyone know if they will sell the extra disk alone when it does come out? Maybe fox will sell it as a stand alone disk. It would be nice to do that for those who have being buying the seasons thu out the years past.

That's exactly why they don't release those bonus discs separately. They want to add incentive for people who have bought the seasons all along.
