Lost Season 3 on Bluray - December 11th?
Despite Disney's denial, Amazon has it up for preorder.

Take it how you will.

Not bad. $80 or so for 5 Blu-Ray discs seems fair in comparison to Blu-Ray movies. Hell, at that price its like buying two Fox movies on Blu-Ray!
Day 1 purchase for me. Hopefully Fry's will have this at the $70 or so level.

I would have bought Season 1, but I'm not starting with Season 3. Hopefully they will follow up with Season 1 relatively quickly.

I'm happy with the regular discs at under $40. I can't justify it for double when all I'm really interested in is the special features and probably a marathon rewatching a few years after the conclusion of the series.

I have a ton of TV box sets and I think Cosmos, Planet Earth and The Planets were the only sets I paid more than $40 for a season of out of 200+ sets. I have no problem waiting an extra year or three for a deal.
$39.99 is going to be my limit on HD TV box sets. If that means I rent Lost Season 3 and Sopranos so be it.
I'm happy we are getting these series in HD, but $129.99 MSRPs are not going to fly.

I will not pay double ($59.99 SD vs. $129.99 Blu-Ray MSRPs) no matter how much I love a show. Heroes isn't quite as bad, but it's still not great ($59.99 vs $99.99 MSRPs).
There isn't that kind of price difference with movies, so I'm not sure why it's like this for TV shows? For instance, the 300 2-disc special edition has the same MSRP as the Blu-ray version, and they share all of the same features (with the BD movie being in HD, of course).

My wife also bought Smallville Season 5 for $39.99 and that was really pushing the limit of what I will pay. I love the Sopranos, but $64.99 is the cheapest I have found for the HD set so I will just wait or rent on that one.

Was December 11th always the release date for the SD/Blu-Ray releases of this season?
Maybe I got confused but I thought it was coming out much earlier. I'll probably just pick up the SD discs. The BD discs are nice, but too rich for my blood.

^ There is no Friday Night Lights HD DVD set for the TV show. You're probably thinking of the FNL movie on HD DVD.
Anyway, the art for the BD version is up at TVShowsonDVD and Amazon. I gotta say, the blue/green mix is pretty ugly. I hope this is just a slipcover and they use just green for the actual BD.
