Better Call Saul - The Complete Series (2015-2022) - December 6th, 2022 - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

When are we expecting packaging shots?

stvn1974 · 10-13-2022, 12:29 AM

I decided to wait until the series was over to see if they pooched the finale. Since the consensus online is that they didn't I will be blind buying this.

Off topic but I only have the digital copies on Vudu of Breaking Bad that someone gave me. I notice there is a new complete series set up for preorder and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

Artwork finally up online amazon.com/Better-Call-Saul-Bob-Odenkirk/dp/B0BD94R2CW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=QRQ4X9PWEBT7&keywords=better+call+ saul+complete+series&qid=1665947420&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI zLjMzIiwicXNhIjoiMi43MCIsInFzcCI6IjIuOTgifQ%3D%3D& sprefix=better+%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-1

They can't be serious with that packaging. It's just one of those big jumbo Blu-ray cases with all the previously released discs thrown in.

Yeah, and the artwork is crap as well. This is not going to look good next to the edition of the Breaking Bad set I have with hard case and digibooks.

I would vote with my dollar and not buy at all, but in this day and age, that's sending the wrong message. I'm glad to get physical media at all anymore.

eightslicesofpie · 10-16-2022, 11:28 PM

lol man I'm not super surprised since this wasn't as much of a juggernaut as Breaking Bad but oh well. I'll get it anyway, I'm thankful it's getting a set at all

Mosin-Nagant · 10-16-2022, 11:38 PM

Yep, a very uninspired packaging...

WilliamBarbeau · 10-17-2022, 01:14 AM

19 discs means it doesn't have any exclusive/bonus disc specific for this set.

Thank God—what a slap in the face that would be to all of us who’ve been collecting each season as it comes.

Why? It's not uncommon for boxsets to have exclusive bonus discs (Breaking Bad, Lost, Halloween Deluxe just off the top of my head). It should be considered a possibility when buying individual seasons.

If it had one, I might as well say "Thank God- what a slap in the face it would've been if there was nothing extra for those of us who waited for the complete series!"

To be clear, I don't care either way in this particular case. I just can't say I agree with the sentiment.

And it’s always a slap in the face to season buyers.

Your reward for waiting is getting the clean, consolidated complete set packaging you waited so patiently for. It’s not like the studio has any incentive to reward anyone who waits to buy their product anyway.

Obviously the studio choosing to include exclusive content isn't to "reward" people for anything, but to entice customers into buying (or rebuying) a premium product. Do you also consider new bonus features a slap in the face? How about new transfers? Collectible and exclusive packaging? I guess I just see it as a part of the physical media song and dance.

No way will I be buying this now those discs will be scratched like hell all of them will be.

Jesus, Sony just casually throwing in a series finale spoiler image in their Amazon item description. Bold move!

Either I'm missing it or your referring to the image for Season 6?

It's really not a big spoiler out of context as you'd expect that character to make an appearance *somehow* by the end of the show.

Knowing he's in it isn't exactly a huge spoiler or anything, but part of the fun of the final season was wondering when and how the cameos were going to take place. The seasons 1-5 images provided are pretty standard (although throwing in McKean's season 4 cameo is a little odd), but then you hit the season 6 image and they're just like "here's Walt's one scene in the final episode!"

Feels like a bit of a desperate marketing move, I guess.

Ok, I no longer feel bad about buying seasons 2-5 from Australia earlier in the year at under $20 each...

MifuneFan · 10-17-2022, 02:50 PM

That artwork looks so fake, would Sony actually release something so poor looking?

Its 2022, art looks like poop everywhere. Sad but true. (Im hoping its fake)

This is especially disappointing since Better Call Saul had fairly good seasons artwork throughout.
