Homeland: Season 1 - Aug 28 - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

djgeneral · 08-23-2012, 03:52 AM

$25 is pretty solid! I'm getting it and if it goes down in price, I'll adjust at best buy but I doubt it will hit $19.99 before Black Friday and I'd like to rewatch it

Ned Schneebly · 08-23-2012, 03:56 AM

anyone think these price wars are going to make blu-rays seem like they aren't worth it? as in selling/producing

Hello,

Any news about the region of the boxset ?

Thank you

I have been interested on watching this show but was never able to catch it on TV. I have heard lots of good things about this show so my question to those that have seen the show is does the show have replay value and is it worth a blind buy at $15(if I use my gift card to Best Buy) or $25 if I order from amazon. I do like Claire Danes shes a good actress thanks for the help

obriensg1 · 08-27-2012, 01:29 AM

Blind buy it. Now don't expect 24 just because it's terrorists and the show has the same producers. These characters are all pretty flawed. they have mental issues, personality flaws etc... but it makes them seem more real.

Plus, the show isn't afraid to go to dark places, or as the season goes on, spends entire episodes flashing back to the origins of a character's current motivations, or put two main characters in the middle of nowhere where all they do is talk. Gutsy show, and I'm curious where season 2 goes. For $25, a must buy.

I've heard nothing but good things about this show. For $25, I'm willing to blind-buy it.

Man, Tuesday's expensive for me, since I'm getting Boardwalk Empire as well. I don't want to think about those grabbing The Walking Dead as well...

I loved the show, and I'm eagerly anticipating season 2. But I don't need to buy it because I don't think it has much replay value at all. Part of the thrill is the suspense at what's going to happen next. Just my opinion. I definitely recommend a rental, though.

I was going back and forth about blind buying it because it's such a good price, but I think I'll pass and put the $$ towards something else. I will rent it...

obriensg1 · 08-28-2012, 02:13 PM

Where can you rent Blu-rays? Does Netflix still do it with new release titles?

jayturner514 · 08-28-2012, 04:23 PM

Saw this at BB today, nice looking set (nice plastic slipcover too) for a really good price...

And it included a nice, paper sticker that required a lot of goo gone

Ned Schneebly · 08-28-2012, 05:36 PM

Anyone get this at Walmart? If so what's on the 4 exclusive cards? Pics?

Interesting: I see no mention of these on their website. If their asking price locally is the same as their website (~$34.98), I'll just keep my BB copy.

UUUUGGGGHHHH · 08-28-2012, 05:59 PM

The Target Exclusives of this with a bonus disc (it's a DVD, FYI) actually comes in a 4-disc case with a slightly fatter slipcover that fits over the slightly larger case. Pretty impressive that they put that much work into it. And I got them to price-match Best Buy's price for it. Quite pleased.

Ned Schneebly · 08-28-2012, 06:11 PM

I saw it in store when I was at walmart earlier. It was $34.99 though.

Assuming that this question was for me, it's a 93 (!!!) minute Q&A Panel with Creators & Cast from the 2012 Academy of Television and Arts called "An Evening With Homeland."

That's an additional HOUR AND A HALF of bonus content on this disc!

Even if you can't get your Target to price-match, I think it's worth it, but if you can get them to match, it's an absolute no-brainer! My store only had 4 of them, so they won't be around forever.

Ned Schneebly · 08-28-2012, 06:27 PM

Yeah I messed my quotes up haha man that's an amazing bonus disc! Usually it's some little nothing but I'd love to watch that Q&A. I already got it coming from amazon. Stupid amazon

I hope someone uploads this to YouTube or elsewhere. I could go for the Target copy, but that means returning my copy to BB and losing my $10 gift card (as it was part of a $50+ purchase).

If it's not online now, I'm sure it will be soon. And I know I'll probably never watch the Q&A more than once, but I love physically OWNING bonus content like this, you know? I know it's silly, but the collector in me really likes having this stuff as my own.

Ned Schneebly · 08-28-2012, 06:50 PM

I need to start checking target out more often

I'm confused to why walmart didn't advertise their exclusive 4 cards. Maybe it's in store only? The cards in the Grimm set were pretty nice.
