Lost season 4? - Blu-ray Forum

brianbags · 12-08-2008, 08:05 PM

Anyone get it yet? How's the PQ? Can you post some screenshots?

fettastic · 12-08-2008, 08:28 PM

I refuse to pay that much money for a half season of TV.

Blu-News · 12-08-2008, 08:55 PM

PQ is top notch as expected. I can't post screenshots, but you won't be disappointed. Reviewers have been giving it a 9.5-10

fatediesel · 12-08-2008, 09:00 PM

I don't think $49.99 is too much for 14 episodes. Consider that 14 episodes translates to about 560 minutes of content. I'll take that much content of a great season for about the price of 2 blu-rays.

brianbags · 12-08-2008, 09:08 PM

I'd pay $50 for it any day....it's the greatest show ever.

Anyone else have screenshots?

Actually.....

14 episodes at 45 minutes each = 630 minutes. At $49.99, thats .0793 cents per minute. Compare that to the average 90 minute film at $20.00 = .22 Cents per minute.

So actually, LOST is close to a 64% discount to movies.

Another way to see the value is.... 90 minutes of LOST runs you $7.14 as opposed to $20.00.

Its a friggin huge bargain.

Come on UPS man...

If it looks anything like S3, it will be stunning . Can't wait to get this for X-mas

I paid $14.99 for Ironman on black friday. Thats a great deal. That is also 50% more per minute than LOST.

LOST is dirt cheap.

Yep ...writers strike snipped off 2 episodes. They will be added to season 5 and 6.....nothing will be eliminated from the series as a whole.

It's 14 episodes, they shortened it because of the writers strike.

You should be even more excited than the rest of us are. Season 4 was incredible, by far my favorite.

I have not seen a single episode either. I did the same with season 3.

I cant wait

May be a dumb question, but when you watch shows on the official page (meaning CBS or FOX's sites) and they are in HD, is Blu Ray's picture that much better then this?

I think it is. I notice flaws in the picture when watching on the original airdate.

Can you post pictures of its packaging? I am curious if it is like the 3rd Seasons packaging. Thanks !

brianbags · 12-08-2008, 10:33 PM

I'd like to see the packaging too.

and no, it's not like Season 3s except for the actual hard plastic case. And yes, it is a tragedy.
