In the third season of the hit HBO? drama series Game of Thrones, the Lannisters
are barely holding onto power after a savage naval onslaught from Stannis
Baratheon, while stirrings in the North threaten to alter the overall balance of
power in Westeros. Robb Stark, King in the North, is facing major calamity in
his efforts to build on his victories over the Lannisters while beyond the Wall,
Mance Rayder (played by Ciarian Hinds) and his huge army of wildlings continue
their inexorable march south. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen -
reunited with her three fast-maturing dragons - attempts to raise an army to
sail with her from Essos, in hopes of eventually claiming the Iron Throne.

If this package is anything like the previous second and now re-released
first complete seasons, it will be worth the price completely. I assuming this
because it's been proven twice by now and also among other HBO releases.
Therefore, what I expect or hope will be the return of the
5 blu-ray
discs containing the ten episode season in 1080p picture and wonderful HD
surround sound (with the fifth containing interesting special features, like
season two's the animated history of Westeros),
two dual layer season DVD
with all ten episode set,
and a digital season copy code where you can choose
either redeem it with Amazon, UltraViolet, iTunes, or other instant streaming
website.
My suggestion for anybody purchasing this through Amazon.com,
please redeem at least one of you digital HD copies through Amazon.com. Not only
is it more friendly than the likes of UV or iTunes, but YOU ACTUALLY GET TO
DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL VERSION WHILE YOU HAVE A STREAMED COPY THAT IS PLAYABLE IN
OTHER VIDEO PLAYBACK FORMATS. Sorry for the caps usage there, but there is no
way to stress how more superior Amazon video is compared to the likes of
iTunes's idiotic DRM usage where you have to only use a device that can use
iTunes. Sorry, Apple, but if I own a "digital copy," I better fully own a
digital copy of a TV season or movie. This is best way to own Game of
Thrones!
Also, I would like to note that in the past, The price listed
now will not be the actual price for this season set. I have purchased both
seasons through Amazon.com for a discounted price knocking at least $20.00 off
the original price (and yes for the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital set). If any of you are
interested, please pre-order this either now and get it discounted, or wait till
the season is fully announced on the website and pre-purchase it at a discounted
price.
HBO has finished airing all ten episodes of this season and I'm
sure that the show is renewed for at least 2 more. Especially since the source
material for this season is literally half of the Storm of Swords novel, there
is much to cover yet. And wow! Just wow at the final two episodes of the season.
The production company for this series is not afraid at all to show off what
George Martin has in store for his characters. Major surprises and changes will
occur that will surprise the unknowing viewer and also the devout A Song of Ice
and Fire fan (also known as the, "they actually showed that!?" synopsis). Nit
picky fans will point out what was changed be it dialogue or missing characters,
but so far they seem minor but still entertaining to say the least. So far, Game
of Thrones is still the best from book source to Live action TV fantasy series
you will find.
