Anybody pick up the blu-ray yet of Season 1? I'm pondering the purchase.
Just got done watching it for a refresh (though Ive read the books too).
I can say that besides the material being great, the Blu ray experience is one of the best I have seen. Top notch PQ, menus, extras, everything about it. An absolute steal @ $35.
Some of the best features on the Blu Ray are:
1. The history, which covers more than just Westeros, and is narrated by some of the character actors from the series. Several periods have multiple viewpoints, e.g. Robert's rebellion - Robert's version and Viserys' take.
2. In the in movei guide - for fans who havent read the books and have a hard time keeping places and names straight - every scene will have places and characters labeled, and you can click on icons for more info on each.
I have really cut back on buying movies on BR/DVD because I rarely re-watch them enough times. Very few are worth it, especially in the extra features dept. This is probably the best purchase I have made, as good or better than the original LotR EE's.
