Day 1 purchase.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Never seen it, but I'm thinking the same thing.

No date or pricing?

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

not that I could find. :( Probably in the Spring

Day 1 purchase for me as well.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Amazon had had it listed for awhile at $54.99.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I'm on it. Can't wait to power through this before S2.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

It's too bad they couldn't have gotten this ready in time for Christmas.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

wasn't there supposed to be a documentary crew following along with filming, in house crew from HBO?
that couldn't be the "30 min making of"?

then again i was hoping for "hearts of darkness", so maybe my hopes were a little too high.

typical ungrateful bastard that i am, i see 7 commentaries and complain that there aren't ten.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I have it prebooked for $49.99. :)

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

March 6.
$79.98 Blu-Ray
$59.99 DVD

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Love this show, but at that price for season 1 only, I'll wait until it drops into the $30-40 range.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Day 1 for me. Love this show. Can't wait for Season 2.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

FYI there is a special bonus disc if you order it from HBO.com. However your going to have to pay full MSRP.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Yep. Way overpriced.
But HBO seasons have always been way expensive.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Are you talking about the $79.98 price for the BD? That's MSRP. It will probably be $45-50 release week.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

which probably means
59.99 Blu
39.99 DVD
at best buy and target

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Either Target or Bestbuy may carry a possible Exclusive Offer???

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Yeah, you'd think they would want it out in time for Christmas. This would probably be a huge seller.

But when it comes to television programs, they are generally released about a month before the new season starts.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I STILL need to watch all these episodes. They've been sitting on my DVR since the season finished.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Here's a list of what episodes have commentary and by who:

Ep 1 ‘Winter is Coming’ w/ Commentary by Exec Producers/Writers David Benioff & D.B Weiss

Ep 2 ‘The Kingsroad’ w/ Commentary by Lena Headey, Mark Addy & nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Ep 3 ‘Lord Snow’ w/ Commentary by Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams & Isaac Hempstead-Wright

Also, apparently the "Hidden dragon eggs" are cast audition videos.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

This set looks beautiful.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1

Best Buy exclusive sets.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Those are cool but I think I like the regular set better.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

The BB exclusives are probably just slipcovers over the regular set like True Blood had.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Better picture. Doesn't look like just slipcovers...

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

:lol: Looks like slipcovers to me.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

House Best Buy motto

"Slipcovers are Coming"

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

haha - bluray.com is probably going apeshit right now.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I guess they are slipcovers, I didn't really see it at first.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Just an FYI - at Best Buy (B&M) you get a GoT keychain (a miniature shield with the Stark sigil on it) if you pre-order the set with a $5 deposit. I don't care about the slipcovers, but I may bite for the free keychain, hoping that Best Buy uses similar pricing they used this week for Boardwalk Empire.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

^ this

there is also a promo disc of the first episode of GOT you get for free with purchase of Boardwalk though they are marked at .01 and it is possible to purchase without buying Boardwalk

if the PQ/AQ of the first episode is any indication of the entire set (given the already known greatness of the content) this is going to be one blu ray set to be reckoned with

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I think that the PQ overall was quite good. However, something about the scenes with snow in the first part seemed a little off. I'll take another look as I've only watched it once.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Could someone please explain the significance/meaning of the two Best Buy cover designs? I've never seen the show (don't have premium cable) or read the books, but am considering a blind buy.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

The show/books take place in a realm where lands are ruled by Houses. The main house is House Stark, their sigil is a wolf. Another house has dragons as their sigil.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I like the wolf cover art. I'll probably get this but hopefully the price drops more into the range of Boardwalk Empire before the series is released.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

This is exactly what I think. The glaring difference in price for two series of the same length in episodes from the same studio has me scratching my head. Around 40 would be a nice price.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

Thanks, I had a hunch it was probably something like that.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

The HBO store is offering a bonus "Creating The World Of Westeros" disc if you order it from them:

http://store.hbo.com/game-of-thrones...shows_game-of-

They have 20% off codes fairly frequently if you dig around a bit online.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

I will wait for Complete Series box.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 1
 

but is there a fantasy aspect to this series? are there actual dragons and other creatures? or is it flat out drama? Sorry, I've been living under a rock in regards to the book and this series (and I don't get HBO any longer so most of the pay-cable series go under the radar for me)
