House M.D. - Complete Collection Pre-order

I just bought this set; can someone confirm whether it is indeed region-free and will play on an American PlayStation 3 or 4?

Yes it is region free and will work fine on a US player.

£53 now on Amazon lightning deal

If you don't have to pay the VAT (like if you are importing it to the US), it's only £54.17 from Amazon. This doesn't look like the best deal it's been at, but with basic shipping it came out to $90.63 so I'm happy. With the shipping added in, it comes out $11.38 a season, $2.32 a disc, or $0.51 an episode, depending on which comparison you think justifies the purchase the best

And if people in the UK/EU want it for £54.99 they can look to our friends at Zavvi...

Even if it's with lossy audio only, I hope Universal will someday release a complete blu ray set of The Office.

I doubt they will. It looks like they need all of Europe to make the economics, I don't know about the rest of Europe but The Office: An American Workplace was not successful over here at all (it was retitled for the ITV2 broadcasts and DVD releases in the UK, to avoid confusion with the original version of The Office, but I think Comedy Central UK call it The Office (U.S.))...

Managed to pick this up for £49.99 from Zavvi using their 5OFF50 code. Lightning fast delivery too!

I live in the US. I received my box set fairly quickly from Amazon UK but 5 out of 8 cases have their hinges broken . I assume the root cause being the air mail.

I'd hate to ask Amazon UK to send another box set as the disks themselves look OK. Maybe Amazon could send replacement cases? I am not familiar with the these types of cases though. Here is a link from a different poster that shows a sample case Anyone know the case type ?

Those cases are shit anyway. Just get some Viva Elite cases.

Google it. They're the standard for blu-ray cases in the US. Most studios here use them. The *******s use Vortex.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into Viva Elite. But first I want to make sure I request the proper dimensions.

I looked at the cases House MD came in and they look to be Amaray.

Froma Amaray's website I looked up 4-6 blu ray disc cases and found this link that shows the spine to be 24mm. can anyone please confirm 24mm is the correct width of spine? Sorry to ask such a basic question but I actually don't have a way to measure myself at the moment.

[Thane]

Yeah that's correct. It looks more like 25mm to me, but I'm sure 1mm won't really matter

[mikezilla2]

so wait were can i get them ? and do they come in 8-10 disc sets ? i ask because i also have a funimation boxset that was smashed in the post some time ago

[Ill_Be_Back]

This is currently at £28.00 on ebay, excellent price I just bought one.

[Thane]

My word... and I thought £50 was a steal. That's £3.50 per season

[mikezilla2]

i don't see it

Try searching Amazon. I know Viva Elite has a 10 disc option, but you have to make sure you're getting the same (or similar) dimensions so the artwork will fit correctly.

These should be close to what Universal used for House. You might be able to find something more accurate in thickness if you measure your actual case and try searching for it though. The Viva Elites I see for this disc amount are significantly smaller (15mm) and should be avoided.
