Just to add to the earlier answer given about the sex in the show....it's nowhere near Spartacus like. Spartacus, while very excellent and one of my all-time fav shows, was just one big violent orgy ball. Every scene had sex or violence in it. Game of Thrones has about as much sex in it as an R rated movie. You'll get a few full frontals, but nothing other the top. I think only one episode had a sex scene that even stood out and that was ep 6 or 7, can't remember off hand. Def nothing close to Spartacus.

I was just about to say pretty much the exact same thing. While yes there is sex, it isn't even close to the ridiculous levels of Spartacus. I can only think of one time during its "sexposition" moment were I found it to be rather odd to have the conversation they did at that moment in the brothel. Beyond that everything pretty much serves a purpose.

While it's nothing like Spartacus, HBO has added sex/nudity but the language isnt nearly as harsh as in the book. For example, the character Ros was created for the show. Also, I dont recall the Renly scene from the book.

So I ran and checked my gold box and found The Andy Griffith Show. I was a bit disappointed. Can I ask how much they knocked off?

The Andy Griffith Show is today's Gold Box deal and it's available for everyone. What Ripley was talking about is when you click "Today's Deals", scroll down to see your own personalized picks. It should say "[your name]'s Quick Picks" and these gold box deals vary from user to user. For example, my deals include discounts on Ben Hur, Source Code, Citizen Kane, Resident Evil, and other things.

Anyway, I've already stated that I love the show in the topic before. In fact, this has been my wallpaper since the show started!

Yup! I locked in the prices for Ben Hur and thinking of getting Citizen Kane. Also locked in Source Code for a friend. It also had Thor which I just noticed so I jumped on it as well.

Haha, very nice

I had Thor (3d Combo set) in my GB last week so I locked him in too (we have good taste in movies). Hopefully Ben Hur will pop up for me too

It is one of the best promo pictures of all time!

CRD13NYC · 06-26-2011, 03:38 AM

I expect amazon's price to come down before the release.

I actually didn't like the first couple of episodes. I'm glad I went on with it...I've watched the first season and love it now.

kernel_thai · 06-26-2011, 08:07 PM

Nothing in my gold box but rocks. Im hoping to get it for $40 tho. True Blood had the same msrp and Target had that for $35 the week of it's release. If not, it's still on the tivo.

kernel_thai · 06-27-2011, 03:45 PM

I see they r now talking Christopher Eccleston of Dr Who fame for Stannis Baratheon in s2. He certainly looks right for the part.

flyinmunky99 · 06-27-2011, 03:54 PM

Id import this if you guys get it way before the UK, and depending its region free of course.

Im about 200 odd pages into clash of kings and its makes the wait for season 2 even harder.

They're unsubstantiated rumors thus far, so I would not really give it much credence.

rickah88 · 06-30-2011, 01:30 PM

Just preordered mine yesterday along with JP Limited gift set, SW Clone Wars S3, and Kung Fu Panda 2....OUCH!!! Big dent in the wallet.
Here's to hoping Thrones drops, at least, to $49.99, ideally $39.99!!

HylianBowcaster · 07-02-2011, 10:20 PM

I'm glad I saw this thread, and started watching this series. Game of Thrones is great, definitely getting this on blu.
