Today’s the day Game of Thrones is released on DVD and Blu-ray.  Retailing around $60 for DVD and $80 for Blu-ray is it worth it?  Well, the plot and the acting are both good, and HBO has thrown in the obligatory extras which include (among other things) audio commentaries and character profiles.  In addition, the Blu-ray has a bit more than the DVD, like dragon eggs.

There’s a caution that this isn’t for the little folk, but if you’ve read the books, that’s kind of a no-brainer.

George Lucas
Premiere: Wednesday, March 7 at 10PM e/p

George Lucas’ prolific imagination has already inspired two generations of scientists and engineers to push the envelope of technology. By introducing computers into the filmmaking process, he changed the way movies are made, and the way we all see the future.
