Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (JB Hi-fi Excusive) - Blu-ray Forum

Anybody seen this? Is it worth a purchase for forty bucks.

I just wish the packaging was a bit more user friendly, with hubs instead of sleeves. You get a higher likleyhood of a disc scratching with these.

I have been keeping my eye on this one, looks nice I'm most likely going to buy as from what I've seen JB has it cheapest. Shame that there's only 6 episodes.

Thanks for the heads-up, Supernaut.

Edited for a change of mind:
(I'm allowed to do that, aren't I?

)

Relented, and bought this pack this arvo. I got it for within a dollar or so of the US price, I don't have to pay or wait for shipping, the OZ release is the uncut version (which the US and UK releases aren't), it's on the shelf now (which the US and UK releases aren't), and the OFLC logo I get childishly annoyed by is just on a clear external slip, which I can happily discard.

Bottom line: I wasn't going to do better, so if I wanted to watch this show - in all its awesome crassness - on Blu-ray, I needed to jump. So I did.

JB currently has this bundled with Blood & Sand as 'SPARTACUS LIMITED EDITION GIFT PACK'. The 20% off sale they're now having that makes it $67.91 for both seasons. Looks like a good score.

LordCrumb · 12-08-2011, 06:29 PM

Yep, and you would have seen right above your post, the exact same thing. And its $54.98..

LordCrumb · 12-08-2011, 06:52 PM

I am.. I guess its a deleted post (as a Moderator I can see them). Anyway, the 'Ltd Edition Collectors Pack' has been commented on before, its two amarays in a slipbox.

MacEachaidh · 12-09-2011, 01:10 AM

I ended up managing to wangle a deal out of JB, and got the two in their limited-edition digisleeve packaging for $65 total. A bit pricey, I still think, but I was content.

I notice the digisleeves of GotA are still floating around the shelves, though around $40 OZ last time I looked.

NickMate · 12-09-2011, 01:16 AM

Is blood and sand digibook gone now. I know it's OOP but I used to see so many now none. I want to get it, so my next bet is to get the slipcover version. But then I want to get the GOTA digibook...

MacEachaidh · 12-09-2011, 01:59 AM

When I bought my Blood and Sand, according to JB Hi-Fi it was the very last copy in their inventory system for the whole of NSW. I searched for it specifically because, if I was going to buy the Gods of the Arena digibook, I wanted them to match. (Obsessive? No, not me!)

(And now, with the Arena digibook lagging in sales, I'll bet when the next series comes out, they won't do the digibook thang, so my plans will be thwarted!)

But seriously, if you see Blood and Sand around as a digibook, grab it on the spot. It's now a very rare beast. (I think even the US release has gone to ordinary amarays.)

LordCrumb · 12-09-2011, 08:01 AM

I think there is still a lot of that digibook in NZ, so failing Aus, you can import from here.

dareon · 12-09-2011, 11:39 AM

hi, im from spain and i want to know how can i buy the digipack of blood and sand on jb don't see it only the digipack of gods of aren, can anyone help me please?
thanks for all

MacEachaidh · 12-09-2011, 12:19 PM

Hi dareon,
That one is out of print in Australia, so you won't see it on the Australian JB Hi-Fi site any more.

But if you look at JB Hi-Fi in New Zealand, it's still available from there.

(Thanks for the info, LordCrumb !

)

NickMate · 12-09-2011, 01:52 PM
