Cracked open the UK Blu-Ray edition this evening and found it a huge improvement. OK, they could have done better, but I’d take this over the DVD set any day. That cost me something like USD80 as I recall. This new set cost me £20.

It’s a great series so if you haven’t seen it it’s a steal at the price. Nit-picking over the quality of the FX or saying “Don’t buy to teach HBO a lesson” seems to be pretty ridiculous to me. I’m happy with my purchase, especially for the price. Purchasing it if you haven’t yet seen it seems a total no-brainer to me.

Yeah you did state the price was a lot cheaper, but it is not like I have the option to pay more for a better release. And " I was at great pains" Really? Saying that the an HD blu ray looks better that a 4:3 DVD, does not mean my complaining about the handling of DNR or the bad specials is nitpicking and/or "pretty ridiculous".
