I really hope this will be Region Free.
But we have time, I've read in an interview that the boxset will be released soon before the start of Season 2.

rickah88 · 06-20-2011, 05:09 PM

Saw the final two episodes last night....WOW! Much better than Camelot and I'm a HUGE fan of the Authurian legend.
Looking forward to this coming out on blu!

Clippins · 06-20-2011, 05:26 PM

Yeah I'll be picking this up for sure to re-watch before season 2. Excellent show HBO!

Phenomenal series and already looks great in broadcast so I can't imagine how good it will look on BD! Also looking forward to the improvement with lossless audio.

Did anyone end up liking this show after they initially hated it after the first couple of episodes? Or should I just avoid it if I thought the first 2 eps were pretty meh?

unvmago · 06-20-2011, 06:18 PM

Can't wait!...this show was amazing!...too bad I have to wait til Spring 2012 for season 2....

The first few episodes are "set-up" episodes with introductions and such. They are a bit slow, but the season ramps up quickly

Once you get to episodes 4-5, things pick up, and from 6 onward, the show really gets going

Highly reccomended, and I will pick this up when it comes out

Without a doubt, if you are into this genre keep on watching! It was a slow start, but I think with all the characters they had to do it that way for development. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be let down.

RipleyLV426 · 06-20-2011, 07:34 PM

I was only able to catch the first episode cuz it was an HBO free weekend

I wanted to keep watching it though. I think this will be a safe blind buy for me

I don't mind slower pacing in set up...I mean it's a series not a 2 hr. film. To me that is one of the biggest benefits for a series...the ability to take time and really live and discover a world, a time and place and the characters that inhabit it (as long as it's done right).

Since Season 2 of Game of Thrones is set to begin airing in the Spring of 2012, HBO really needs to get Season 1 into stores on Blu-ray before the Holiday buying season begins this year.

definately picking this up...wish it came out tomorow.

Velmeran · 06-20-2011, 09:07 PM

Does the first season, end like the book does, or does it end somewhere in the middle?

If the first season covers the events of the first book, A Song of Ice and Fire would have been a better name for the show.

Wow! I'm assuming you read the books. I'm not even going to ask how all that happens

Hucksta G · 06-20-2011, 09:43 PM

I really hope this comes out before Christmas!

Awesome serious and a great adaptation of an awesome book. And yes the First Season finishes as the first book ends with a couple of scenes from the second book thrown in. I really think Game of Thrones the title suits the whole series.

Bring on Season 2 fast!

Does Barnes§Noble charge after ordering or after shipping?

First season ended just like the first book. Looks like it will be 1 book = 1 season, so season 2 will be A Clash of Kings.
