Lost Creators See Full Series in Blu
December 2, 2008
Heading into its fifth season, Lost could turn out to be the first major full series TV set released on Blu-ray. During a Tuesday Q&A roundtable, Lost creators Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindeloff predicted that upon the series completion in 2009-2010 there should be a full six-season Blu-ray release. However, Cuse and Lindeloff didn't think that the show's earlier first and second seasons would get individual Blu-ray releases. Lost first started getting Blu-ray versions day and date with standard-definition editions beginning in season three.
As Cuse put it, "If I were a betting man, I'd lay down a lot of money that you'll that you'll be able to buy a complete series set Blu-ray box set when all is said and done."
To date, no primetime series has been released in full form on Blu-ray. Likely because of the format's premium pricing, people have so far been treated to individual season sets in the format.
I do wonder how much peopel would covet a full Blu-ray TV DVD set. It would have to be tagged with an incredibly steep price. The fourth season Blu-ray of Lost, bowing on Dec. 9, is $96.99. If you multiply that by 6, that's $581. Wowzers. That seems ridiculous, but when the standard-definition six-season set of Sopranos carries a $400 SRP, than an approximately $600 full series Blu-ray set doesn't seem so out of the ballpark.
Well, let's just hope that we are fully out of a recession when Cuse and Lindeloff start pushing for a full Blu-ray series set in earnest.
