Game of Thrones: The Complete Seasons 1-6

Be patient when navigating through region-free Blu-Ray menus and you'll be just fine! Trust your Amazon Seller!
This relates to Game of Thrones - Season 1 - 6 (Blu Ray) Region Free, as sold by a2z Blu Ray with order fulfillment by Amazon:Please remember that "Region Free" has been improved and refined in the past few years so that if you have a decent Blu Ray player that has been updated with the latest firmware, you should be JUST FINE! That said, also remember that typically, Blu Ray disks respond a little more slowly than standard DVD disks in a player, and that may be more noticeable with "Region Free" disks. They do play just fine -- but you may need to be a little bit patient and not try to rush things or you could have a system lockup and need to start over.Next, as it often is with foreign-produced movie disks, some of the information on the box or the inserts may not be accurate! I'm not sure why this is so, but you'll probably notice it if you try to add minutes attributed to individual disks and then try to match those totals with what is written on the box or the inserts. Even the NUMBER of disks themselves, included in a season may be incorrectly stated. The IMPORTANT thing is to verify that each season is complete, if you have any questions -- but -- be careful in searching for verification information or you might SPOIL your viewing experience by finding out more about the plot than you really want to know!I did have questions, and the folks at a2z Blu Ray were very quick and exceptionally responsive to my questions! Let your Amazon Seller help you and avoid the risk of spoiling your enjoyment of the story.Now, about the quality of the "Region Free" Blu Ray disks --Absolutely perfect! Give your player enough time to "spool-up" and buffer the splash-pages you need to reference and you should be just fine! I have not experienced any in-play lockups, pixilation, or any other problems. Audio is uniformly very good also.I am enchanted and engaged by the story line, and that, of course, is a separate matter altogether. I've tried to focus on the more "nuts-and-bolts" aspect of actually playing the disks. Just take your time with NAVIGATION through the menu startups and you should have no problems.Another bonus to buying from an excellent Amazon Seller like a2z Blu Ray is that, at the moment, you can buy the entire six-season set for $100 - $110 (it fluctuates). Or, you can go to a big discount membership warehouse like Costco and pay $149....Enjoy! See you on "the Wall"....**** 11 Dec 16 -- Additional comment: Have now worked my way up through Season 4, Episode 2 and have not had any problems getting any of the disks to play perfectly on my Sony Blu-ray player (here in the United States). As long as you don't get in a big hurry and try to jam too many commands on top of each other you should be just fine with these region-free disks.A big plus if you are multi-lingual! There are voice tracks in many different foreign languages, as well as subtitles. The German language voice tracks are surprisingly well done! Enjoy! ********* 24 Dec 16 -- Additional comment after completing watching all six seasons, and a number of the special features.EXCELLENT! No problems at all on my Sony Blu-ray disk player. Region-free worked just fine for me here in the U. S. . The special features are ingeniously arranged, and help the viewer to more easily understand the very complex kingdoms and lands of Game of Thrones.This is easily the best entertainment value I have seen in years. Now I'm sick at the prospect of having to wait until months from now before Season 7 is aired by HBO. I hope you enjoy this series, too. Thank heaven for Great Britain, without which we English-speakers would have only the United States as a supplier of entertainment... and that is often disappointing. Hey, "I drink, and I know things!"

Not rating the show, have not watched it yet. As for the physical product, I love the look of the mosaic box sleeve and the box itself. The box itself is factory shrink wrapped while the disc cases are not. No missing or loose discs so that's obviously great and the digital code for everything is in the Season 1 case as expected. While this is my personal experience here, I don't doubt the possibility that factory flaws may occur with other people. My only hope is that all of the discs will play fine since this is a birthday gift and watching every episode in our busy lives will take some time. Keeping my fingers crossed here. Thank you for this set HBO and seller.Another thing I'll mention is that I bought this set because it was $94 at the time of my purchase a few days ago and that's a significantly better deal than the newer/current set for Seasons 1-7 which, with taxes included, comes out to $161... for just the latest season included which is also 2 episodes shorter than every other season with 10. So you'll save at least $30 buying this set and S7 separately. This is a great deal for such a huge and popular series.

Awesome series & Amazing Release in BD for fans of the show! Definitely worth the money!
I purchased this a little over a month ago to watch with my little brother in anticipation for the 7th season (first time watching for him and 3rd for me) and it's been really amazing seeing this series in Blu-ray quality. We've so far seen up to season 5 and everything's been flawless. All the discs work as they should, no weird audio or video glitches (I've played some of the discs on an Xbox One and a PlayStation 3 and they all worked great), so no technical issues have impede us from seeing this amazing show and what a show this is. I'm sure that if you're buying this box set, it's because you already know that the series is worth seeing all the way through and I would definitely recommend this box set if you live in the US and want to get seasons 1-6 in an affordable package that is definitely well worth the asking price and more. Definitely a 5 out 5.

Discs Are Great, Series is Awesome
I almost stopped watching after the first two seasons, there were too many characters thrown in and it was very hard to keep up with who was allied with whom and who was backstabbing who... thankfully by the end of the fourth season, so many characters had been killed off that it became much easier to keep track of everyone. So if you feel the series is too confusing, keeping going, it gets MUCH better after season 3!!As for the discs... they all played perfectly fine... however... be forewarned that if you have a Sony player (not sure if it's the same for others), after swapping two or three discs, the next disc will be extremely slow and will probably freeze. Then, you have to wait for your player to reset and turn itself off... then turn it back on and the disc will play perfectly fine. I don't know if there is some sort of 'memory' in the Sony player, but for whatever reason, after swapping two or three discs without turning off/on the player between them, the next disc will stutter and eventually completely freeze. It's a small price to pay to watch such an amazing story.

What can I say that hasn't already been said...Season 6..ep. 9 &10 was off the charts...Can't wait for season 7 to be released on blu-ray disc.As for the Blu-ray set, I found it very well done. The audio and video were great, clarity of the on screen images were very good, load times were fine (not too long) and the box set was of good quality.The only problem I had was, and this could have just been me, I found it hard to remember which episode I left off on when I would pick up watching again because of how the episodes were formatted with the user interface in the menu...but again, that may have just been myself.The price was great and shipping was on time...If you buy and collect movies and series in Blu-ray, buy this, it's worth it.
