Am I imagining this, or did Sky not show the first season with no adverts?

I'm halfway through the first series, I've seen series one & two in SD on Sky, but looking at the Blu-ray is a revelation, the picture is stonking good, sooo much better than, The Lord Of The Rings, so much of that looked desaturated & flat & green.

I just watched the Bonus Disc (Season 3 Amazon UK Exclusive).
Interesting content! I'm glad I purchased this edition.

No idea, gave up Sky for the third and final time before that I think.

I never watch it when it is aired but the day or so after, just fast forward the adverts

I think the pilot was shown on Sky Atlantic commercial free but I'm not sure. Once they stopped showing a repeat after midnight I've watched all the episodes on-line.

Dispatched from Amazon on the 15th (last Saturday), supposed to be delivered on the 21st (yesterday).

What's going on?

[Vashetti]

STILL hasn't arrived. Honestly thinking of contacting Amazon over this, I've never had to wait so long for something from them.

Is the amazon exclusive disc worth the extra money?

[Thane]

Hmm, extra £4.50? I don't know for that price, depends how much of a fan you are. It's pretty interesting seeing how they made some of the effects but you can pass on it easily.

I have a question. The GoT blu sold on Amazon uk, linked below, is that a digipack or a normal amaray version? According to the picture it is an amaray, however the exclusive edition (with the extra disc) is not (according to the picture). I have both s1 and s2 as digipack and I would hate ordering the third as an amaray. I can't order from my scandinavian retailers (Norway) since they are only selling the amaray version of GoT.

The pictures on Amazon look the same as they would for a digipack? HBO go all out and give them silpcovers too...

The Amazon US shows the GoT S3 blu ray box as a thick box set, while Amazon UK shows it as a slim amaray version. I wonder if this is a slip up from the side of Amazon UK and that they are actually selling the digipack version.

Take Boardwalk Empire as an example; You get the amarays from Amazon uk, but if you want the digipacks you will have to order from Amazon US. Which sucks... because season 2 of BE is region locked to A. =/

I think you're panicking, the US set has more discs because they also include a DVD copy, the UK release doesn't, so won't need as much space...

I think you misunderstand The amazon uk exclusive (1 extra bonus disc in a plastic sleeve) is a digipack release.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Thrones...rones+season+3

However as you can see, there are two pictures listed for this item. One is a slim amaray version while the other picture is a thick digipack. I've researched a bit, so I know this version is digipack one. However I'm wondering if this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Thrones...rones+season+3 is a digipack as well.
I might be overreacting though seeing as the exclusive BD had Scandinavian subtitles and the bonus disc only had a plastic sleeve. Meaning if they sent the digipack for the exclusive one, why would they not do so for the regular version as well.

As far as I know, they will both be digipacks, I brought season 2 about a year after it was released and it was still a digipack, so I don't see why season 3 would have changed already...
