Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season (2015)

[Strapped4Cash]

For this release Amazon UK once again has an exclusive bonus disc with 3 segments:

- The Final Step (25.51)
- The Massacre at Hardhome (28.00)
- Visual Effects of Season 5 (25.36)

Target has an exclusive with The Massacre at Hardhome.

Based on what happened with Season 4, I think it very likely that BB's exclusive bonus disc will be either The Final Step OR Visual Effects of Season 5, with WM getting the other.

I don't know for certain, but that seems the likeliest possibility, with the Amazon UK Exclusive being the best bet for those people most interested in Bonus Content.

For the next 4 Hours and 15 minutes only! if you order more than £50 worth (after VAT is taken out [so more than £62.50 before VAT I think]) from Amazon UK directly then you get £10 off your order.

Ahh Amazon UK making it another hard decision this year. Even more given how crap the Canadian $ is doing. Bonus disc of extras or digital code that I can sell? Decisions, decisions...

Hey guys, anyone know where we could buy the special edition with the Bolton slipcover in Canada ?

It is a Best Buy exclusive in the States, but Future Shop (who was owned by BB) used to sell the special editions with slipcovers here... but Future Shop closed last summer and Best Buy Canada doesn't seem to sell it.

Any help ?

Give it time...I'm sure BB Canada will have them.

But personally I don't think I'll buy them anymore as I want the steelbooks, and don't want to double dip.

Has there been any news on the rest of the steelbooks?

EDIT: Another question is... here on bd.com the 5th season is listed as having DTS HD-MA but on the picture of the back of the case it states that it's Dolby Atmos... Which is correct???

I've just added Dolby Atmos, just waiting for one of the site managers' approval

Preordered the UK set. For $39 it's not a bad deal. The U.S. set will likely be $30 on release day so I'm paying $9 for more special features. If it was just some throw away short features I wouldn't bother but 78 minutes extra is a sizable chunk.

I just preordered. It said it was 24. Am I the only one that hates that the international releases are becoming the better releases?

Yeah, that's my thinking too. I'm too addicted to special features anyway, but even if I stuck to just one U.S. exclusive then I'd still worry about actually finding it in-store, and then think about what I was not getting. This way it's all ordered, and no stress.

Meanwhile, I'm no expert on international ordering, but when you say $39 then I think the price may fluctuate, due to the exchange rate, between now and when this ships and we actually get billed for it. So it might go a little higher or lower.

No, I hate that too. Especially with the increasing number of movies and tv series that I've found unreleased here that have been issued outside the U.S. (I'm a little late to finding that out).

In this case though, I'm more thankful not to have to find and buy this three times from three different sellers for three different exclusives. That's just ridiculous.

I already got the £30 gc's and had no problem applying them to my existing GoT order. I don't know if the £7 promo code will apply (since it's an existing order), but free money is free money, and I have a couple other wish list items I can use to create a new order if I need to.

Yup. I just found a German Region-Free Double Dragon. It was the last one. I ordered it two days ago. Hopefully it should be here soon.

Hey does anyone know if the Amazon UK edition with the bonus disc that has all 3 extras is region free? I read somewhere that past season have been region free.

Ugh. I think I bought the Target exclusive last year and ordered the Amazon UK version. Kept the bonus disc and gave the UK BD to my sister. Looks like that's what I'm doing this year too.

Right that's what happened last year so I think hopefully it will be the same this year. Just over a month, can't wait!! At least I'll have Fargo S2 bluray, Better call saul S2, Walking Dead S6 part II and House of Cards S4 to keep me busy till then.
