Any info/deals on Game of Thrones season 3 blu-ray?

Amazon's got it for $39.96.

 

[Batty]

What about the Best Buy exclusive covers for Game of Thrones?

Amazon's got it for $39.96.

Thanks. That seems to be the cheapest price out there.

What about the Best Buy exclusive covers for Game of Thrones?

They've got Targaryen, Lannister and Stark.

But they're $59.99.

Best Buy will have a steelbook for Captain Phillips.....

We have this in England (but it's available anywhere). It's a nice Steelbook!

So they're just rehashing the ones from the first two seasons? At least I can get Stark now. I already have the other two.

And I don't remember them being so expensive when I bought them. They'll probably be on sale release day.

I missed the season 1 Bestbuy exclusive covers, but I got the Lannister one for season 2. I'm pretty sure Greyjoy was an available cover for season 2 as well.

Apparently people got to vote between three different sets of covers for season 3 and they chose the Stark/Lannister/Targaryen set.

I think I'll wait to see if they go on sale as well. I could have sworn my S2 Lannister edition was $35 last year.

$35 sounds right. And you're right, Greyjoy was the other cover.

PRESS RELEASE: Section 23 Gets Three Classic GODZILLA Movies For Blu-Ray!

January 21, 2014 at 11:12am

KRAKEN RELEASING LICENSES

“GODZILLA ® VS. HEDORAH™”,

“EBIRAH™, HORROR OF THE DEEP” &

“GODZILLA® VS.GIGAN™”

January 21, 2014 - 1967 may have been the Summer of Love, but 2014 will be the Summer of Godzilla®, and Kraken Releasing is spreading the kaiju (giant monster) goodness with the first U.S. Blu-ray release of three classic films featuring the world’s most famous giant reptile. Also available on DVD, and including both the English dubbed and original Japanese versions with English subtitles, these are three of the big G’s wildest adventures ever and showcase why, sixty years after his atomic birth at Japan’s Toho Studios, Godzilla® is still one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry!

The fun begins as 1971’s Godzilla® vs.Hedorah™, released theatrically in the U.S in 1972 as Godzilla® vs. the Smog Monster, pits Godzilla® against the forces of pollution in the form of a constantly mutating, acid-spewing behemoth from outer space. With eye-popping 1970’s “mod” costumes, hairstyles and psychedelic visuals that include conventional cel animation alongside the special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano, Godzilla® vs. Hedoarh™ director Yoshimitsu Banno’s ecologically focused take on the world’s greatest monster is easily one of the most unique films in the series and required viewing for any giant monster fan or cult film enthusiast.

What happens when three major movie monsters slam dance in the South Seas? The answer is 1966’s Ebirah™, Horror of the Deep, originally released in the U.S. in 1968 under the title Godzilla® Vs. The Sea Monster. Pairing Godzilla® and another of Toho’s most popular kaiju, the giant moth Mothra™, against a wide variety of adversaries, including the titular sea monster, giant birds and a mysterious terrorist organization, the wet and wild widescreen spectacular was directed by Jun ***uda.

Finally, 1972’s Godzilla® vs. Gigan™ ups the giant monster ante once again with a series of tag team battles featuring four classic kaiju. Released theatrically in the United States in 1977 as Godzilla® on Monster Island and again directed by Jun ***uda with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano, the film unites Godzilla® and spiny ally Anguirus™ against two of the series’ most popular opponents: the three headed monster King Ghidorah™ and the new alien cyborg Gigan™.

Apparently, there's a new 4K transfer of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly coming out.

 

[The Ween]

Best Buy will price match Amazon.

True dat.

 

[batfan08]

Hell's yes. The only downside is that they're only selling it in a trilogy set (while For a Few Dollars More and A Fistful of Dollars aren't remastered), but it is only like $27. So, not too bad.

 

[jye4ever]

So bought.

These 4K releases will begin ramping up within the next few years.

4K will make 1080p become the 480p of when HD first came out.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

It has been at $39.96 on Amazon for weeks.

I know. Though if you purchase it through Best Buy, you have the option of choosing between three exclusive covers.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

So... who's gotten their 4K display ?

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Is there not going to be a 3D blu of Ender's Game?
