Got mine this morning from Sainsbury's Entertainment, abit dissapointed with their packaging of this as their usually alot better than that with previous stuff i've had off of them.

Awesome looking set!
I will have to wait until price drops though.

Rodge08 · 03-03-2012, 01:05 PM

Sky_Captain · 03-03-2012, 01:14 PM

Much better package for the UK market from HBO, although I'd be very surprised if they keep it up for season 2 looking at past history.

I'll still be getting the American version though as I have for other HBO sets as I don't like the banner, age ratings and info on the back of the slipcover. It ruins the great artwork for me. A shame really as they almost got it spot on this time.

I don't own the UK set, but can't you just remove the slipcover? You do that, it's virtually identical to the US.

for those of you who got the play photobook how was it packaged? My brother is at home and opened mine but their was no photo book. Was it a separate parcel? Was it in the same parcel but outwith the actual box set? Or was it in the box set itself? If I haven't got it I can guarantee I will be sending them a ragin' email!!

It was stuck to the front of the Blu Ray box itself, inside the cellophane.

Edit, don't discs normally say 'Not for rental or resale' not 'For rental or resale'

Sounds good, it's the one I would've gone for had I not had all these HMV vouchers to spend. I'm sure it'll be going for a pretty penny on the 'bay now it's OOP

Speaking of which, this seller must be selling an extra extra special edition:

£775 Game of Thrones BD

thanks for the pics, looks a beaut.

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

Mine got dispatched yesterday so I'm expecting to get it either monday or tuesday.

amoergosum · 03-04-2012, 09:15 AM

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.
