The play.com set. The little book is glued to the front of the case so be careful when removing it would hate for anyone to rip the cover of this gorgeous set! Can't wait to get stuck in later!

Just had a dispatch email from Amazon for this and Immortals, shame they have sent it via Yodel as my last order never turned up

Bluray-disc.de says that all extra features are presented in HD on the UK Blu-ray set. Can anyone confirm this?

I haven't watched them all but I think it's safe to say yes

Dino Last · 03-04-2012, 01:43 PM

On the UK box set it's written that not everything may be in HD, but I have yet to find something that is not.

Great youtube footage of the set. Thanks for that.

One thing though and this was what I was referring to in my post reply to Elfishwarrior.

When looking at the Play site the exclusive book looks like it's a hardback rather than the soft cover that it so obviously is. It also looks bigger than the blu-ray box as well.

Not that I'm going to get it or any of the other exclusive versions with which I think HBO went slightly overboard on. having said that it's great to see what I've missed out on and hope all those who have gone for whichever exclusive enjoy them.

Out of interest I wonder if anyone has gone for all the different versions for the various exclusives ? I know Michael Harper has but doesn't count as he's got his brothers to give him the Play book and Amz disc. All 16 mins of it. Have you got the HBO disc as well. All 8 mins of it ? Any form of sarcasm in the last couple of lines is directed wholly to HBO.

Someone earlier in the thread said it would be £39.99 in-store, not great but only £3 more than their on-line price. Tesco will be doing it for £32, so you might be better off with them

You are right the photo that Play used was very misleading, but it's still a good book, and it did not cost any extra. No I did not get an extra disc, and I don't think I will lose any sleep over it especially at those running times. lol
Oh there is also a code that gives you 20% off Game of Thrones merchandise at the HBO store, so I got my wife a shirt, and I got the paper weight iron throne

Started rewatching an episode of this on TV at the weekend, had to stop myself after thinking that this must be out soon. So happy to see it's out today.

tigertron · 03-05-2012, 11:03 AM
