I would do it for 20 or less to see the difference. Otherwise I have all the blus and will keep waiting for the 4k box set.

They're going to release them a little more than once a year thanks to the people that are supporting this release. Best case scenario: maybe you get s8 by 2022 in four years?

I’m more speculating they hold off until the final season and release them all as a massive box set.

This happened i believe with Sopranos where the first season got a blu-ray release and then the whole series as a box set later bypassing individual seasons. Probably HBO’s way of testing the waters on demand.

Yeah at this rate, it doesn't make me confident that they're going to release the rest of the series standalone. With season four less than half a year away, I'll just bide my time and wait for a complete 4K set, hopefully.

I am not going to buy every 4K release for $30 when I know it's only a matter of time (WHEN, not IF) until there is a full 4K box set.

Why spend $240+ when I can wait and spend $100 or less (eventually)? It's a great show, but I already put down plenty of money. I'm not going to double down again in a similar monetary fashion for no reason.

That's the thing. If everyone thinks like you we may not get that 4k box. Especially if S1 was some kind of test run. I'm with you on the logic (to wait), but there's something to be said from every side.

I also picked up the 4K set at Best Buy for 29.99. I would prefer these individual sets with slip boxes and normal cases compared to the sleeves or stacked discs.

HBO's complete series sets are always thick plastic cases for each season in a slip-box. No reason to think it would have stacked discs.

It’s very possible they do the same as the Sopranos and release a boxset after a few seasons trickle out. I’m definitely holding out for 1 set. The low price of season 1 is tempting but I’m not in the mood to watch the entire series yet. I’ve only seen each season once as they come out. When the 4K set does come I’ll gladly binge watch.

Yeah, I have a hard time with serialized TV so I've only watched each season once. Makes the BDs a pretty wasteful purchase honestly, if I get a 4k set. Oh wells.

cbb223 · 12-01-2018, 02:26 PM

I started watching last night. The Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on these are incredible. Hope the other seasons get a 4K release soon.

Very true. I don’t mind double dipping for a series that I’ll watch frequently but my wife has no interest so I would really only be able to watch a few at a time.

Gotta send that wife off to do the dishes and then lock the basement door on her, Ross.

Lol sometimes I do. She’s an amazing woman, letting me buy 3 4K panels and helping me return 2, 2 UHD players, a new AVR and upgrading all my speakers and I didn’t hear one complaint except when we were carrying the heavy Vizio P back up my stairs lol. My ex would ***** and moan every time I picked up a title. I’m very lucky.

fighthefutureofhd · 12-01-2018, 06:43 PM

So, I finally decided to bite the bullet and watch this show. I have just purchased the 4K season 1 set for $27 brand new sealed. Too bad there weren't any deals like this on Black Friday.

BrownianMotion · 12-01-2018, 07:22 PM

Season 7 is the one I want most on UHD. It's not necessarily my favorite season, but it would easily be the best looking of the bunch, especially the battle scene in "Spoils of War."

Also, I've been re-watching The Sopranos, and I'd love it if HBO re-releases that entire show on UHD. It has the potential to look fantastic on the format. That and The Wire are by far the two best shows of all-time - I'd love to have a UHD box set for both. Unfortunately, it's unlikely.

TitusTroy · 12-01-2018, 07:33 PM

Game of Thrones is the greatest television show ever...an epic 73 hour movie...it's the only TV show I ever bought on Blu-ray and will buy the 4K box-set as soon as it's released...

It's probably the greatest or second-greatest serialized show ever, after Sopranos. Maybe that's my bias against serialized TV talking but I can't really think of anything that rivals those two.
