I just can't justify $200 to watch the first season of Lost again. I know it uses fancy Blu-ray discs, but why the huge price hike? New BR movies are like $35 tops, compared to DVD new releases which are $20 normally. That means BR movies should be at most 1.75 times more expensive to make than DVDs. If Lost season one's MSRP was $49.99 when it came out, the BR season shouldn't be more than $90.
It's not like they had any work to do. The show aired in HD originally, they just dumped the HD masters into a video converter to change it to VC-1 or whatever, and had the discs pressed.
