Artwork links don't work. And that is a lame move on AB's part, though now I might actually buy a S1 with extras once it hits $15.

May pick this up if/when the price drops. As mentioned earlier, kinda pricey for 6 episodes.

Pretty much. I'm not gonna buy shit until a year after an initial release if they want to play this crap. I got better things to spend my money on.
Anchor Bay doesn't surprise me. They are the KING of Double-Dippity. In a few years, we'll see just as many versions as Evil Dead II.

Of course I bought Season 1 only 3 weeks ago and already opened it - what a fucking sucker I am. I'd like to have had these extras, but there is no way in hell I am 'upgrading'. It's shady enough when you double dip on a movie every 3 years, but this is not a trend I'd like to see continue.

I've had the BD for this in my hands many times and always put it back for some reason, even though I love the show. Very glad I held off now.

This was posted in the DVD forum. Looks like it could very well be a Blu-ray Book, similar to that used for "Spartacus: Blood & Sand."

Wonder if places like Best Buy or Walmart might do some sort of trade in discount on this new set if we bring in the first one?

We need to counter-act movie studios. I suggest a "Double-Dip Shit" outlet store in malls where they do nothing but re-wrap DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

I don't get this. Does this version feature extended episodes or extra deleted scenes?
Is it just a bunch of new featurettes added? If it is then I'll just buy the old version which will plummet in price once this new version is released.

I already read that. Yes I see the new featurettes but the point I was trying to make was what the hell does "Extra Footage" mean? Is it extended episodes or deleted scenes or just more special features? Sorry I wasn't more clear before.
I can live without the new featurettes but if there were extended episodes I might have to bite.

Did anyone pick this up? I bit the bullet and picked it up from Amazon for $34.99. I have Prime and got it shipped overnight for $4. I already have the previous BD, but I really wanted the commentaries and the extra material.
Very nice packaging. There is an insert advertising the Walking Dead companion book/toys and trading cards. They also include 1 Walking Dead trading card inside.
I think I may re-watch the Pilot and Finale with commentary before Sunday night.

I bought this over the weekend. Got it for $29.99 at Best Buy.
Although, I haven't watched it yet.
