Game Of Thrones : S3 (Viva-Slipcase/Repackage/DVD)

When I first saw Game of Thrones, I knew this season would be (based on how the series was being paced) the acid test. Corresponding to the first half of book 3, A Storm of Swords, this season would have moments that could make or break the show. Thankfully, the cast and crew proved to be more than up to the challenge and have continued to do so.I'll refrain from mentioning a certain episode (you know the one) to avoid spoilers, but I will note that this season features the introduction of some of my favorite supporting characters: Meera Reed, Thoros of Myr, Tormund Giantsbane, and Beric Dondarrion. We also see Tywin Lannister in a larger role, and Charles Dance absolutely shines in the role. His withering put-downs bookend the season and are always a joy to watch.

This is a replacement order for Game of Thrones season 3. I have collected all the seasons so far. I like Game of Thrones because there is no clear-cut hero. This show is NOT predictable. The acting is excellent. The storyline is well written. It does Not take place on the earth. Like earth there are Kings, Queens, knights and kingdoms. The series follows the story of the seven Kingdoms, which are fighting for the Throne of all the kingdoms. In most cases even the 'bad' guys are not all that wrong. If you like Princesses, Kings, Queens, dragons, and drama with adventure you will like Game of Thrones. You will have to start with season one.

I bought this for my partner for Valentines Day, even though it wasn't released until the 18th of February. I was really surprised at the size of this and the lifelike stone look to the case. This edition includes the complete 3rd season in incredible Blu-Ray and has a digital copy for your mobile devices or for Ultra Violet storage. It also has a special disc with an in-depth look at Episode 9 , "The Rains of Castamere" and a lot of other special features that we have not even explored yet. If you are a fan of this series, this is the edition to buy. It's worth every extra dollar that it cost compared to the regular 3rd season and I think it has way more special features and content.It is an incredible looking statue and we get a lot of complements on it from our friends. They really like the case and we do as well. It's very sturdy and stable and it set on the top of our Sanus entertainment center near our other special editions of other series. This is one of the few disc sets and disc that we do not hide in our entertainment center. This actually reminds me very much of the promo copies of stuff our good friend who worked for HBO use to give use for Christmas presents.

Game of Thrones Season 3 continues with the brilliant adaptation of George R.R. Martin's books. This is one of televisions most impressive accomplishments to date. The set designs, costuming, etc are absolutely brilliant. The acting is superb.I am simultaneously reading Martin's books and I will say that the Game of Thrones series does vary considerably in many respects to the books. That is understandable. The books are long and incredibly complex from just about every standpoint. The books can, in fact, become quite tedious in an over-abundance of detail. The series cuts off a lot of that fat and does make many substantial changes.This review, however, is primarily about the Game of Thrones: Season 3 Blu-ray/DVD disc set. As usual, I went on a Game of Thrones viewing binge as soon as I got my set delivered. My experience with this disc set is that it has worked flawlessly and the quality of the video is first rate. The set contains 5 Blu-ray discs containing ten episodes. Disc #5 contains only the final episode of Season 3: "Mhysa". Unlike some reviews I have read, I have had no playback issues whatsoever with my Sony Blu-ray player and it is a relatively inexpensive 2 1/2 year-old model. I did not have to perform any updates or other nonsense that some reviewers talk about. That may be because the Sony performs automatic updates; I don't really know. Some reviewers have complained that they were unable to watch any of their older Blu-ray discs or DVDs after performing an update to their player. Fortunately, I have had no such issues. My player still plays any of the older DVDs and Blu-ray discs without any problems.I am not going to further review the Game of Thrones Season 3 series itself other than to say that if you are averse to (1) nudity (2) "colorful" language (3) copious amounts of blood (4)violence then you'd best stay away. Far away. Game of Thrones is set in a fantasy Middle Ages type world somewhat similar to but also vastly different from the world of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". It is not nearly as "gentle" as Tolkien's great work, however. Just a word of advice for anyone who has not yet seen Game of Thrones: don't get too deeply emotionally attached or invested in ANY character. You'll be sorry you did. ; )The Game of Throne: Season 3 Blu-ray disc set is another total winner. Highly recommended to any Game of Thrones fan.

Brilliant.

Not sure if it really is a blue ray copy but had no issues watching any of the disks. Have already purchased the 4th season from the same company.

As good as the first and second season.

Very nice

Omg love it
