It's rather a bold question... but one has an exclusive Amazon disc: Creating the Visuals. Season One had an exclusive as well. I think the sets may be identical if I remember season one correctly the extra disc was just in a sleeve (?).

That is correct.

Quite a difference in price (Game of Thrones - Season 2) >>>

Amazon US:
$29.99 = £19,41

Amazon UK:
£35.99 = $55,61

I pre-ordered this on Play.com, which had an exclusive photobook with it, but does anyone know whether that order will go through? Since Play aren't selling as themselves anymore, they might have either not continued with this or passed it on to another company on their site.

I just ordered the US set. You cant beat $30!

They don't stop selling as themselves until the end of March so this should be fine.

I would do the same but the picture on amazon.com says its region A only. Id only be able to play it on the PC...

But here its been confirmed as region free https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Game-.../#RegionCoding

Bit nervous

HBO is usually region free, even though they only put region A on the back. The review here also says it is region free. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Game-...Blu-ray/47084/

^^^^ Sorry went back and edited my post before I saw your comment

Thanks, works out at €27 if I order from states.....

If you get caught by customs you will pay extra £8 fee plus 20%!
Still works out £4 cheaper then UK but guess you get it sooner then UK edition.

I got Season 1 on UK blu so dont want to mix US releases and UK releases.

I've been thinking about cancelling my pre-order on Amazon UK but decided
not to do it. I also own the Season 1 UK Edition (with the Bonus Disc).

Is this the case with Deadwood too? I would love to get Deadwood on Blu-ray!

Wonder when we'll see some shots of the UK Season 2 set. I have a feeling we won't be getting the digipack set!

Sky_Captain · 02-20-2013, 07:52 PM

I was doing a bulk order from Amazon and it would be crazy not to throw GoT in, at that price.

Couldn't give a **** whether or not it matches the UK set for Season 1.

Nope, Deadwood is not region free.

Youre missing out on fantastic blu-ray transfers then. My brother got the DVD set and loved it (despite knowing nothing about Game of Thrones previously). When I told him how good the blu transfer was he got me to sell his DVD set and bought the blu set straight away - massive difference in PQ.

I think he was talking about Deadwood.
Completely asinine that a UK Blu Ray is not out yet btw
