The Walking Dead Season 2 Special Edition Blu-ray Review

The digipacks/digibooks are nice and preferred by me... but not to buy a set twice or to buy a $60 version that costs twice as much just to get the head... and even if I could see the head, who is going to want that who doesn't also want the TV show? So why would they pay much to get just the head?

As for hoping the digipacks come later as a standalone... I doubt it too... considering they already have this standard packaging that is cheaper to produce.

Most DVD/Blu-ray releases go to cheaper packaging on re-issues. I get Psych on DVD, for instance... when they first come out they are in nice digipacks... within a year the re-issues are in standard keep cases.

So I have to try and catch them on Black Friday when they are on sale BUT still in the original fancier packaging.

Keep checking ebay and Amazon marketplace. I got my S1 SE from Amazon marketplace for $19.99!

I believe if you scroll back a couple pages, someone posted pics of the spine, and another member posted the folded out inside(along side S1 digipak's inside for comparison).

Why were you charged 69.99? The price online and in store is 59.99 and the regular price not on sale is 99.99 so 69.99 makes no sense

There would be no reason for them to produce additional copies of it when they've already gone ahead and created a regular release. 95% of the people who are going to be purchasing this won't even know there is a different packaging available. Also when you factor in all the production/warehouse/distribution expenses that would be involved in yet another release of a title that most people who want it, will already have it.

My thoughts exactly.

I remember the web-i-sodes were weirdly numbered on the web... I hope they fixed that mistake on the Blu-ray (I did not had the time to verify).

The right way to watch these (Chronological order) :

Webisodes 1 The Walking Dead: A New Day
Webisodes 3 The Walking Dead: Domestic Violence
Webisodes 2 The Walking Dead: Family Matters
Webisodes 4 The Walking Dead: Neighborly Advice
Webisodes 5 The Walking Dead: Step-Mother
Webisodes 6 The Walking Dead: Everything Dies

One thing I wish they did was add a bonus disc with all the "Talking Dead" episodes. I always liked watching those segments.

Just picked this us today. I just got Season 1 Tuesday but went back to get Season 2 with my $10 gift card since it was going back to 44.99 next week.

Never saw them. I'll take a look on You Tube as we don't have AMC Channel here in canada.

I think since they are "Live" shows, that adding them to the BD release would diminish their appeal a bit. What I thought would be nice if they edited the shows, and did a sort of "mash up" of all the "non dated" parts. Basically removing the callers, the previews, etc. That would still leave all the guest commentary, behind the scenes clips, human/zombies scoreboard, etc.
A moot point now I suppose! But I agree, it's a great little aftershow and Chris Hardwick does a great job!

Really? thats weird.... When did you order it? I ordered mine on tuesday (Upon finding out Best Buy was already sold out) and its out for delivery today

Is it wrong that even though I hate the show with a fiery passion I still want that zombie head?

Mine finally shipped at 6 this morning, but they charged me the $64.99 instead of the $59.99. I'll wait a couple days, if they don't correct this, I guess I'll have to bug them. First time this has happened to me. I guess if you're not a Prime member, you get screwed now. FYI, I ordered mine 3 weeks ago.

. she's my favorite from the show.

I take it you haven't seen the season 3 trailer... [note, there's a pretty big spoiler in the default Youtube screenshot below...

Well, I think it came to $69.99, they gave me a gift card with it. So it was supposed to be $59.99 + the $10 dollar gift card that I got?

Yeah, I just contacted the customercare. It seems the order was never processed. So re-order it and they gave me a free one 1 delivery (I ship this to a US bassed address) on this, for all problems that caused it.

The same thing happened to me. I ended up canceling my order yesterday morning and reordering (the regular edition) and it's already out for delivery for me...

Edit: I ordered it in April as well.

Yes. $59.99 and a gift card. Did you pre-order at $69? That might explain it, as you would need them to adjust at time of pick up I believe. Just go get a price adjustment before the week is up.
