I've been Money Tipped!
edited 15 April 2009 at 1:17AM in It's gone, but was it any good?
Been wanting to buy lost dvds for a while just keep checking the offers now and again but tonite ive found lost season 2 part 1 has been reduced drastically in some online shops. the rrp for it is £34.29
Tesco £5.97
Asda £5.23
zavvi £4.95
chips world £5.49
love film £5.43

hmv have not followed suite and have kept theres at £34.99 which is above the rrp. If anybody sees any over lost bargains please let me know. I used zavvi tonite and used 4% cash back with quidco so really ive payed £4.76 saving a massive £29.53 :)

    It's not really saving you £29.53 if everybody except HMV have reduced their prices. Anyway, when you have watched the series can you try to explain it to me, pls tks. :rotfl:
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

  • I started watching Lost when it first came out but lost interest a bit. But tempted to try to get back into it so may give it a go as its so cheap at the moment. Thanks :)

    I would only consider buying whole series. This part 1/2 split is only to get you to pay more for the same imho.

    You still have to get the series 2 part 2 cheap now ;)

  • If you get yourself BT Vision you can watch the 1st 4 series on demand for FREE whenever you want. Good deal to me as to be honest you'll never watch the DVD again so you're better renting it or getting a loan of it from somewhere
  • Have you looked on Amazon. Sometimes people sell used copies on there (usually excellent condition because they watch them once then sell them). Not checked lately but it might be a worth a try.

    Editing to say I've just looked and they're not that cheap lol.

    Sorry 'bout that. Might be worth keep checking though in case a bargain comes up.
  • Sounds to good to be true - and is in some respects...

    £5-6 is a great price for any part of any lost season - the problem is the other part is still retailing at £25-30; meaning total purchase price is a good £10-15 higher than buying the entire season one or two which are currently selling for around £25 at Play and HMV.

    HMV were selling the entire season 3 for £14.99 a week or so back - not sure if that's still the case - but that was a great deal!
  • Season one for £17.99 @ Amazon

    This is £24+ most other places

  • Asda currently have seasons 1-4 in for only £20 each.

    Myself I've just bought seasons 1-3 in the fancy box set off ebay for £37 free p&p. Only watched once, immaculate condition :)
