Orange is the New Black: Season One - April 15, 2014

[Talal86]

I wish studios would care more about packaging like how they used to do with the dvd releases, it was rare to release a tv show in a regular dvd case

Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Dexter, Orphan Black, Sherlock, Bates Motel, Vikings (without the slip) and now Orange is the New Black all have regular cases

Well, obviously, with BDs you have more space on the disc...which means less discs. Perhaps that's why dvd tv seasons(more discs) would use alternative forms of packaging?
Either way, I agree...as I love digipak for tv season on home video. Heck for anything. Plastic amaray cases can be boring, at least, to me.

I concur. Digipaks are way cool (storage space is starting to be an issue for me now though).

PS. Anyone out there with a Region B player, please, please, please could you chuck it in and find out if it works for Region B… While I can play Region A, I would prefer it to play on B (for playability options on all my BR capable players i.e.. PS3, PS4).

Sorry, but it wouldn't play on region B. Just got the wrong region screen.

Thank you (and thanks to Scott 1980 for his Region Code post). Will now go and order the UK release. Yeah!

[Rick Grimes]

Got my copy from the UK!

Still can't believe Australia did not get a BD release of OITNB (DVD only). Appears to be going off with popularity after the release of S2 on Netflix in the US. It was a big mistake on the part of the Aussie distributors. I am positive that they might just retroactively release S1 on BD as time goes on (like Sony did with Breaking Bad).

Although, I thought that Entertainment One would eventually re-release The Walking Dead S1 without the 40 seconds of censorship. Absolutely wrong about that one (unless you live in Germany).

I watched Season 1 over a couple days last week so it held my attention. The only thing is- I really didn't like Piper.

[redrunner97]

I don't think you're supposed to like Piper. They certainly made her unlikeable for some reason. I think you'll like her better in Season 2. She gets a bit of a mean streak, and you get introduced to a little character by the name of 'Vee', the greatest realistic female villain in the history of TV (imho).

Season 2 was fantastic!

To me, season 2 seemed to focus more on the supporting characters than it did Piper, which I thought was nice. I loved season 1, but in season 2 you got to know the other characters and more of their stories. I loved Rosa, especially at the end.

Me too! Rosa killed it!

[Show spoiler] ...Literally.

I just received Season 1 in the mail and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

I hope it is as good as everybody says.

I've always loved Piper..

It's amazing!

[Me-Hostage]

Was looking forward to getting this, but will wait a bit for the price to drop. Been keeping my eye on it, and the Amazon price just keeps raising, now it's near $40.

You'd think they would drop the price some since most people are still watching it on Netflix, and having such a high price could keep lots from buying now and just using Netflix to watch it. At least that's what I'll do until it drops or Netflix removes it, but being it's an original Netflix series, doubt that will happen.

$18.49 on Amazon today. I grabbed it at this price. Should be good, even though I could just watch this on Netflix. The Blu-ray picture quality will leave Netflix in the dust

lol that's the only part that bothered me about the S2 ending.. it all looked a bit too rushed.

I got sucked into this by a friend and At first it was confusing but I like it.

Never checked out house of cards yet.

I noticed today that Barnes & Noble currently has the blu-ray for 50% off: $12.49.
They also have a promotion that doubles the usual 10% members discount to 20% off in-store from Sept. 25-28.

$9.99 is a pretty good deal. IMHO.

I wonder if they will ever announce Season 2 if they decide to release it on BD.

Why wouldn't they?

Because its taken them a while to announce it. And quite frankly Im not sure if the first season was even successful for the distributor in its home video release since most people just rather tune to Netflix to watch it.
