I totally couldn't afford them so I was all sad, but then I realized that the blockbuster across the street from me buys used DVDs for like $5 - $8 each!

See that's what I like to read about is people renting and buying and trading from the company that pays me and therefore the company that makes the existence of LVI possible. For the record though Ringwench they will turn around and sell those for about double what you got for them. It's an ugly cycle but at least you benefited a bit from it.

Yeah, I know, but they pay a LOT more for used DVDs than say, a pawn shop would. I've tried selling DVDs at pawn shops and they'll give you $2, MAYBE $3. And if the movies you're selling are too popular sometimes they won't buy them at all!

At least with Blockbuster you're guaranteed at LEAST $5 per DVD, I even had a few that sold for like $8.50.

Not too shabby, and now I have my Lost DVDs, so I'm happy

WOW, that was a good deal Ringwench. Selling your DVDs to Blockbuster l mean, l should do that some time too. l've got a few dvd's that l don't watch anymore so why not right?

Also YAY! l'm finally getting my season today.

Hap-Hap-HAPPY!

how do I find that alternate opening that MG mentioned?

I got the DVD yesterday, spent the whole time watching it

But now I worry there are things I'm missing

Any hidden features anyone's found?

Alternate Main Title Sequence (0:22) - Put in disc seven, go to "Tales from the Island" and press left twice, then enter.

Locke and the Orange (1:36) - Select "Tales From the Island" on Disc 7, then highlight "Main Menu," press right, and then enter.

there's also I thing with Charlie and Shanon somewhere in the DEleted Scenes section

Sweet! thanks MG!

I found all three!
That alternate opening was even more god-awful than the one they kept

Have you checked the other dvd menus too?

anything? The only thing i can think of that they could use to hide more scenes would be with those action-script things, where we have to highlight the numbers or something like that....

Rew secret discovered: Go to the "Episodes" screen in the second DVD (with White Rabbit, etc), press right until you find the secret. It takes you to the tranciever, and you can put in a 2-digit numerical code. i don't know what it did, but something happened when I pressed "01". If someone wants to check this out for me, that'd be cool. I'd try looking into clips of the tranciever, and looking for what numbers of channels it shows. I think 01 was one of them

Import the American one, it's probably cheaper

Hey did you guys find that Dom and Maggie blooper easter egg? It was hilarious.

Go to disc 7 bonus features and choose ''deleted scenes'' then choose ''the climb'' and push the left arrow key on your remote 3 times and there ya go.

yeah, that was cute

Anyone figure out what the tranceiver thing does?

Hollywood · Expert Vidder Joined: 19 Mar 2005 Posts: 3478

Nope haven't figured it out yet either. I've been punching different numbers in like crazy but none of them work.

Hmm.....nothing over at LM yet either. It's really starting to bug me though.
