12-15 minutes of additional footage that was not seen on tv will be part of the dvd and Bluray releases later this year

We already knew that. Hadn't seen the artwork or full contents list before though.
The link is for the US release on Aug 24th
The UK release is a month after , September 26th
But the US Blurays should be region free
That's the american release date.
The UK release is September.
At this stage we dont know what "our" complete series box set will look like, or if it will anything like the american version described above.
Frustratingly there's stil no word of a UK complete series box on Blu Ray release yet. EDIT - Just seen in the post above me that the US BD complete series should be region free.
It's only frustrating because you want to be spoon fed the answer as to when it's coming out instead of using your imagination and working it out for yourself.:)

The first 2 US Lost Bluray sets of seasons 3 and 4 were locked to Region A and those seasons are likely to be the exact same discs in the Complete release so bear that in mind if buying the US boxset if you're not multiregion.
The 1-5 set I got last year which worked out at £14 per season delivered also had season 3 and 4 locked
The last 3 sets were seasons 1,2 and 5 and were all region free
When Alias(also from Bad Robot/Buena Vista) was released as a complete set the UK lost out .
The packaging was crap and the small book was missing.
While the actual disc contents are likely to be the same for the UK as the US don't bank on the packaging or any other non disc bonuses being there at all
For once I agree with you!! :eek:
Compare the US velvet lined gold-leaf covered Alias box set with individually designed cases and secret compartment with bonus disc to the UK version which consisted of the standard DVDs in a grey box and no extras. It was dearer too.
The US has already had the special Dharma Initiative packaging for season 5 which had bonuses like VHS tapes of actual Dharma films , and none of these have come out in the UK so don't hold your breath.
Better off getting the US sets anyway
Re Alias- the bonus disc WAS included in the UK set
Like The X-Files , the episode titles of Lost do not appear onscreen and most seem unimportant albeit not as incoherent as The X-Files so I've watched all 5 seasons on Bluray and all of the Sky One screenings (except the finale) without paying attention to any episode titles so I don't even know which episode you refer to.
With the exception of a single James Bond film I've found most commentaries hard going and I can rarely get through a whole one.
But I did listen to Gareth Hunt's 2 commentaries on The New Avengers
Episode 15 where Jacob and his nameless brother are born, their mother murdered and they learn that one of them has to protect a magic cave...........etc.......
What do you mean by "culprits" Sarge?
The writers?
Either the writers or David Cameron and Nick Clegg.:)
Btw the complete collection set looks bloody amazing! I'm so glad I held out for it and didn't buy the individual seasons.
Where can I see this?
But don't forget that a UK release of the complete series in a similar package is far from certain .
While buying the dvd set may be trouble free , the Bluray set is likely to have at least 2 seasons region locked so ensure you are multiregion before buying.
If you do want it you would be best to preorder.
I preordered the 1-5 Bluray set from Amazon.com and it was about $175.
As it got closer to the release the regular price was $225.
But what a treat on release when it became Amazon.com's Deal of the Day and they reduced it to under $110 .
SO a few days later I got nearly $70 refunded to my card.
Despite the import costs you may incur a boxset of this size will usually be cheaper if you order direct from the US rather than using importers like Playusa (who probably won't carry it anyway) or UK based Marketplace sellers
