i hope this clears up some of the confusion between the versions ( i am not a regular here but a friend told me to post this here first)
well from what i see there are a few major differances in the blu-ray version of the set... the first is that there are only 6 discs in the set (with 5 episodes per disc instead of the usual 4), and each disc only has one animated menu shot... all the options and whatnot pop up on a bar at the bottom of this single animated screen (and i kinda miss the other static shots they had in the season one and two dvd's for the episode selection and options menus, although i do like the new interface, i just miss those extra shots)... for those of you wondering, the 6 animated backgrounds are
Disc 1: The pala ferry dock
Disc 2: Juliet's tape to jack (the full tape with no missing/edited cards)
Disc 3: hugo driving the dharma van around a feild
Disc 4: desmond and clare on the beach getting the seagull
Disc 5: the others camp (with anthony cooper in the foreground strapped to the toem)
Disc 6: a dharma computer terminal
i believe these are the same menus as the regular dvd version, but since there are 7 discs in the regular dvd version i have no idea which disc menu they cut
and it also appears that most of the dvd easter eggs from the dvd version are also in the blu-ray version, but some of them are accessed differently in this version (as the menu in disc 6 appears to be different from the descriptions of disc 7 in the regular release)
and of course we have the extra features called Blu-prints, and access granted... featuring tours of the season 3 sets, and damon and carton revealing some things not fully explained in seasons 1-3, and at the same time giving us a heads up of what to look out for in season 4
also there is the packaging... it all comes wrapped in a stylish 6 disc blu-ray holder... with an included pamphlet with episode and special feature summarys, and the whole thing is encased in a reflective cardboard holder that vel-cros shut... printed on the inside flap is a letter from carlton and damon saying thanks for buying this version, and how they are honered to be the first abc show to end up on blu-ray, they also elaborate on the exclusive features on this disc a bit (and ask to keep the information in these features from those who have not sprung for the shiny blu-ray version.. as if, lol) the discs also have simple blue labels with a few of the main characters on each disc... with the episode numbers on the disc below them
and there is also a welcome video when you play disc one... of damon and carlton talking about and showing the difference of the picture and sound quality in this set...
i did not buy my version with the thought of comparing the 2 versions or else i would have grabbed both versions.... i simply didnt know there were so many differances in between the 2 sets
