Anyone know any info on this? Is it just a re-release of the standard version or is it a limited edition set? Since it's at the $80 price point it seems like it could be special.

If Season 1 includes all of the Store Exclusive Bonus Material I'll Double Dip.

That's just the retail price. Every standard season release for Game of Thrones has had the same $79.98 retail price on Blu-ray. I doubt this is anything more than a re-release of the existing sets (if it really ends up being anything at all).

Maybe the found more presidents' heads?

Pointless re-release is pointless? I really don't get why they are doing this.

depooter · 04-11-2014, 11:58 PM

they seem to re-releasing seasons in standard amaray cases. maybe that's what happening with GOT.

Then I will buy all 3 seasons again. The current packaging is horrendous crap that crinks, scratches, scrapes and rips just when you look at it.

Tony208 · 04-12-2014, 06:57 AM

I think they go back to season 1 size digipak the one minus the dvds
Think they doing similar with true blood

arellarenz · 04-12-2014, 07:37 AM

i'm just going to sell all my GOT slips

Gold Ranger · 04-12-2014, 08:22 AM

Good thing I prefer Content of just packaging.
I get to trade in my DigiPaks but keep the store exclusive Disks and now have an easier to open, disk better accessible package.

No one said this is what is actually happening. I don't see them doing regular amaray releases, that's not what HBO does. These re-releases are most likely either the same exact release or non-combo pack releases.

They are very likely the exact same sets as before. My guess is they could be versions without DVD copies, as HBO is releasing True Blood Season 6 and possibly True Detective Season 1 with just Blu-ray + Digital Copies.

I think everyone in this thread is freaking out over nothing. The person who said these were amaray releases was just speculating as there is no way he would know unless he is involved in the production of these sets.

Tony208 · 04-14-2014, 08:36 PM

Maybe hbo wised up to all the dvd copies from combo packs being sold and given away

Exactly what I did. While I wish they had stuck to non-combo pack releases, having them be combos let's me sell off the DVDs/Digital copy and recoup some of the money back.

Jar Jar Stinks · 04-18-2014, 10:46 PM

Doesn't include DVDs. Now confirmed.

Tony208 · 04-18-2014, 10:48 PM

Can't believe this

S1 slips won't fit over S2-3 and now S2-3 slips won't fit over S4+ plz stop ****ing with collectors hbo

Season 4 could include DVDs. Regardless, the old slips fit fine without the DVDs.

It'd probably will, which will make me happy. I don't sell them off nor do I use them, but I love having them.

GenPion · 04-21-2014, 06:37 AM

Maybe these will sell for $20 or so on sale sometime soon. That would be a good incentive for me to finally start checking this series out. I know it's supposed to be a great show.
