Comment: I bought Lost-The Complete Seasons 1-3 back in May of 2008 as a "Deal of the Day". I just looked on back orders to see what I paid for it... $99.99. Today, December 8, 2008 it is $58.99. Ha Ha...what a difference a day makes!! BUT..I'll tell you this, I am still glad I bought it for almost double the price...except for one little problem I had with my order.
I had never watched Lost on TV...but I had heard rave reviews from friends. I am an Amazon Addict who has to "check out deals" whenever I'm on line. So , I saw ,thought the price was great, and I thought I would treat myself and my family.
My daughter saw the box, opened it, and we sat down to watch the 1st episode. After 6 episodes, with snacks and bathroom breaks, we finally pryed ourselves away from the TV, but we kept talking about everything we had watched. The next day was a repeat and I was upset my daughter had to go back to school on the following day.
This went on whenever we had time ,we had a "Lost Marathon". Until we opened the 3rd season. We were so excited to see what the next episode would reveal. The episode called "Not in Portland" started and suddenly the disc stopped. My DVD player made a noise. I kept trying to forward and it stayed on this one part where Juliet is sitting on a beach that you think is the Island, but is really Miami. I kept hitting buttons until it went forward just a little and stopped again. I took it out of the DVD player to see if it was scratched, washed it, and continued to Freak Out!! I tryed it again the next day...same darn thing.
I went to "Help" on my order on Amazon. There is a section that allows you to talk to a Customer Service Representative. I told her what happened and because it was sold in a "bundle" I had to return ALL 3 seasons and another "bundle" was sent back to me. I simply took the same box the new one was sent in, put the return sticker on, and brought it to the Post Office, at no cost to me. We had to wait a few days but then we made popcorn, put on our jammies, and guess what? THAT ONE skipped, or froze, or whatever it was called, in the same EXACT place. I went to the phone and tried to explain to another Customer Rep who wanted me to do the exact same thing.
Now, I KNOW I am not the ONLY person in the USA this has happened to...the odds are against it. This time I was angry. I told the Rep that I wanted JUST the 3rd Season that was NOT in this bundle. She agreed because she looked and said there were several others who had reported this problem.
They sent the 3rd Season and told me just to keep the one I had. I just tossed it and we waited for the new package to arrive. Thank God , it was OK and we watched the rest of the season. But, it was awful knowing we had to wait until 12/9/2008 to see the last season!
I have been buying from Amazon since 2001 and have had almost no problems. I am disabled and this is the very best way for me to shop. I bet if I bought this at a place like Best Buy, they would say too damn bad. You opened the seal..it's YOUR problem, but I have never had any problem with anything I have bought that there is a problem with that their Customer Rep Dept doesn't handle in the nicest and fastest possible way.
To end this review where I am actually reviewing the product : This is a FANTASTIC Series!! And you people, who are getting the Deal of a Lifetime, getting it at this price, Amazon is actually giving you a Christmas present!! I have the 4th Season preordered but guess what we have been watching the last 2 weeks? Yup...another Lost Marathon..I
LOVE this show and I LOVE Amazon for the deals and the ease of seeing , getting to read reviews before I buy, and for the respect and ease of returns. You just can't lose buying this !! Have Fun!!

Comment: The DVD's shipped quickly and were excellant quality. Lost is a character driven series with constant twists and turns that keeps the viewer wondering what will happen next, while eagerly anticipating the next episode. Just when you think you have it all figured out...you realize you knew nothing at all...lol. The only complaint I have is that the 5-7 seasons DVD's will not be released for a long, long, long time. That seems like an eternity when you're waiting to find out what happens next. It's like reading an entire book except the last chapter or two. I love the Lost series and recommend it. You just have to be very patient until all of the episodes make it to DVD (@ 2010!)
