Part of that deal is ... wait for it ... high-def Lost episodes on Xbox Live Video Marketplace. You can nab the first three seasons now – at 160MS points for SD, 240 for HD ($2 and $3 respectively) – or get the first episode of season four tomorrow (or at abc.com for free if you prefer).

I dont think you should have to pay for TV shows, in the UK we already have to pay for TV licenses so would seem unfair. I watched that online the other day anyway.

EDIT* I re-read it and if you meant you only have to pay $2 - $3 for all 3 seasons id be impressed.

I believe it's $2-3 for each episode, as it is with regular Cable On-Demand, and the other On-Demand shows on LIVE.

So yeah, it's basically a rip-off since you can watch it on TV for free. Even on our cable On-Demand service, you can watch favorite TV shows without even spending an extra dime for them.

Thought it was too good to be true.

Lost available on Xbox Live? About time! Me and Sharon are like a billion episodes behind everyone.

I saw a clip of it the other day on SKYOne and had no idea who the hell everyone was...but no way am I paying to watch it on Xbox Live - might as well fork out for SKY and get all the other channels as well. Would work out cheaper...now if only SKY TV didn't suck...

With prices like these, are you seriously surprised people download series for free?

3 bucks a episode? Jeesh....
