Lost Season 3 officially confirmed on Blu-ray

A couple months age, there were murmurs that ABC's hit show, Lost, would be making it's debut on Blu-ray with the release of the third season of the show. Shortly after the rumors hit the interwebs, Disney stomped out our hopes and denied that such a thing was happening. Luckily, this is one of those times where the corporation lied just to hide the good news for a bit longer. Disney has officially announced that the third season of Lost will be released on Blu-ray at the same time as the DVD release on December 11th.

Specs are pretty nice, with the expected 1080p transfer (up from the ABC HD broadcast of 720p) and feature full uncompressed 5.1 sound. The 6 disc set also will feature a variety of extras, which is a nice change from the normal dearth of bonus content found on Blu-ray releases. They are including actor/writer commentary on some episodes, deleted scenes, bloopers, and five making-of Lost featurettes.

The release is grandiosely titled, Lost: Season 3 -- The Unexplored Experience and will retail for $124.99. Even though the price is a bit steep, it sounds like a great collection and you can pretty much be guaranteed for Amazon to sell it for $90-$100 when it comes out. Now if Showtime only release Dexter on Blu-ray as well ...
