Bonus material has not been announced yet.

Great show, but I don't see myself re-watching it again anytime soon. I think I may wait awhile on this. Going to try to really limit TV purchases for stuff I just saw on air.

Glad this is coming out. I think re-watching will yield many clues missed upon first viewing.

$55.49? I'll pass until it's at least $25.

I've had this pre-ordered since Amazon first put up the unofficial listing. Fantastic show and I can't wait to re-watch it and see the extras.

I'd love to own it on BD, but it is going to depend on the price.

Blu Ray discs are a flat circle.

Love the show and box cover. I will definitely pick this up. I can only hope there will be extended episodes.

One thing I hope will be on BD set will be the 4-5 minute recaps of each episode with Nic Pizzolatto and Cary Fukunaga. They were posted on HBO Go after the episodes aired. They're actually decent little vignettes to help the viewer catch little things they may have missed or misinterpreted.

Really fast turnaround for an HBO show.

The day of the TD finale, I posted on Facebook, "I can't wait for HBO to charge $60 for 8 episodes of True Detective."

Best Buy or Target will probably have this for 25 or 30 bucks opening week

Wait, how many discs will this have i wonder? 8 1 hour episodes, so at a max 4 discs, maybe 5 if they want to have a seperate disc dedicated to extras. Game of Thrones is a 5 disc set, & was able to get it for 29.99 first week

It's a 3 disc set.

Probably because even though the show is coming back for another season the cast will be different so there's likely not going to be anything to really tie the first season in with the second season other than the name. HBO tends to release most of their shows close to the start of a new season it seems like otherwise so that's the only reason I can think of why this is coming sooner.

Those are on most HBO shows and always end up with the Special Features.

Hope we get a few Woody & Matt commentaries on a couple of episodes.

Love the show but why should I buy it since I've already seen it? ;)

It will be $39.95 by release date. Just keep your eye out (or use Amazon's prebook guarantee).

Definitely will pick it up release week if it's around the $25-30 mark.

Mike86 03-21-14 02:17 PM

Re: True Detective -- The Complete 1st Season -- June 10th
 
Yeah HBO shows are always marked up higher than what they retail for. I'm sure release week somewhere will have it for like $35-$40ish.

Sounds right for a 3 disc set HBO Set.

Just noticed there's no DVD in this set, wonder if they're starting to discontinue their combo packs.

Maybe. I know there was a time when they were making the windows longer just to "protect" the value of actually subscribing to HBO. Who knows what the current policy is, though.

Strike Back 2 and Banshee 1 were both like that. Granted those both air on Cinemax, but Strike Back 1 had DVDs.

i have this on DVR and free on demand. how long until the on demand gets taken down?

Shannon Nutt 03-21-14 05:24 PM

Re: True Detective -- The Complete 1st Season -- June 10th
 
8 Episodes of True Detective trumps 13 episodes of most of their other series, IMHO.

Hopefully, they'll load it up with extras, deleted scenes and commentary tracks.
