Ouch man...just ouch. You need to buy him a BD player.

I'm getting the regular version.

He does have a Blu-ray player LOL He has the LG 370 because he wanted Netflix and he couldn't play any of the movies I was getting haha. He says he can't really see a difference

I ordered the standard Season 5 set. I couldn't justify spending any more for the Dharma set. Does anyone know if the VHS in that set is functional and what it has. If its a cool addition, I'd probably cancel my order and order the Dharma set. Of course that would mean I'd have to dust off my VCR hook it up, and hope that it still works.

juanell · 12-05-2009, 12:50 PM

The VHS tape is real, it has the complete dharma orientation seen when new recruits arrive on island. Also the kit has pamphlts on security procedures, the dharma cafeteria, and motorpool. They're also maps and a copy of the truce with the others that is very interesting. You learn a TON about Dharma, and It seems as if some of the information might come into play in season 6. It's gonna kill my OCD not to have all seasons match but the dharma kit is way too cool.

yoxodo · 12-05-2009, 02:34 PM

I won't be able to decide until Tuesday, when i see both versions back to back. More than likely i'll be buying the Dharma Initiative Kit, but i'm gonna have to buy a new VCR to watch the VHS orientation tape.

Icic...I've got the 370 as well. Great player.

iam1bearcat · 12-05-2009, 07:06 PM

I'm buying both... why?
because it would drive me crazy to see four normal season editions and then the Dharma Kit. So I'm buying the "regular edition" AND the "Dharma Kit" edition.

Wow... and I thought I was crazy for having all Lost seasons on both DVD and Blu-ray. (I had the DVDs before I started buying Blus)

I am truly torn as to which I want. If there's enough special features with the Dharma Initiation kit to justify the extra 25 dollars, I'm all for it. I guess I'll hold off on my vote.

trunksvegeta187 · 12-05-2009, 07:36 PM

I would get the Kit, but I'm not thrilled about having the discs in those individual slips that look like floppies

ckenisell · 12-06-2009, 10:12 PM

Alright, so I'm looking through the Best Buy ad and on page 12, they show a Lost Season 5 Blu-Ray with "exclusive bonus disc, packaging and Dharma Luggage Tag."

So, I'm debating on whether or not to send back my amazon.com order when it arrives and pick it up on Tues. at Best Buy or just stick with my amazon.com order.

MAN! I HATE store exclusives!!!
