This show is one of the rare occurrences where the journey is just so damn great...even if the end is disappointing.
I totally agree!
@Solid Snake I would have to strongly disagree. Maybe it's because of what I stated before of having the difference of all of the visual and audio enhancements. Not only am I enjoying rewatching it, but I'm actually excited before each episode. I don't mean to sound like an audio/visual snob, but I'm actually amazed at the difference of what I'm seeing and hearing. It offers more entertainment value that I would have expected. It interesting to watch it again and certain things more sense the second time around. Again, I'm fortunate to have a very cool setup to watch it in and I would highly recommend it to anyone for the first time or to purchase for a rewatch after upgrading your home theatre system.
Just for reference and comparison, I absolutely love any movie about aviation and I'm a huge Top Gun fan. I purchased and watched the 4k since I hadn't seen it in several years (early nineties) and I got nothing out of a movie that involved something that I'm passionate about. Maybe I watched it so many times before had something to do with it. GoT immediately captured me and I could not turn away as if I'm watching it for the first time again. This has made me more interested to check others watching it for the second time to see reactions. OK, I'm an A/V nerd geeking out and I'm done with my rant!
This sounds like your sexual life only tell by the male perspective without asking the female side
@Solid Snake can’t agree with you. I have re-watched the series once already (not including rewatching individual seasons). I’ll re-watch again after I get this... so... yeah...
This is actually one of the rare occurrences where the ending is SO BAD that the majority of the fans actually try not even to think about it anymore.
Ive never seen a trend die so freaking fast.
Far from great, sadly.
They need band of brothers in 4k with atmos track
I would like to see the reimagined Battlestar Galactica TV series from the 2000’s released in a big 4K UHD box set.
So would I!
So say we all!
@@rsgraff281 currently rewatching the blu-rays, awesome suggestion!
Oh yeah.... Great candidate for 4K! 👍
Why? The series wasn't even filmed in 4K. It would just be an upscale.
No matter what everyone thinks about the finale & final season, Game Of Thrones will always & forever be one of my favorite shows of all time until I die, until my very last days on Earth, and until the end of the world
This show and breaking bad
cringe
Great review and absolutely spot on! I first watched GoT on HBO with my current setup, LG OLED and full Dolby Atmos 11.1. Even though it was without the current enhancements, I still loved the series. After purchasing season 1 on 4K blu-ray, I was wondering if it would offer the same replay value. It has exceeded my expectations by far between Dolby Vison, HDR and Dolby Atmos. I find myself listening to the theme song at times instead of skipping it! This CZcams channel is good about providing spoiler free reviews and I just wrote this after replying to someone who hadn't watched GoT. I watch these reviews at times normally prior to a purchase or to see others opinions after I've watched a movie/series. Nice to see Films At Home provide quality content as usual. My entire series arrives later today and I am stoked to experience it again. I hope you all enjoy it for the first or second time around!
Can’t wait to get this I’ve only watched season 1 which I bought on 4K and was waiting for the rest of it to come out on 4K! Gonna binge watch all 8 seasons
Enjoy!!! You're in for a wild ride my friend :)
I wish I could say the same and experience it all over for the very first time again. Enjoy.
Enjoy it, just be prepped for a very sub par final season
The whole set is 4K upscaled. Better to invest in a better 4K player like Panasonic's top of the line.
What player is that? And how good is it?
Looks awesome, I'll definitely pick it up this holiday season! Thanks for all the great content
I preordered the Steelbook Collectors Edition back in August and I can’t wait for it to come in!
Me too! I read on AVforums that its delayed untill desember though...
@@Terjesolgard I haven’t heard anything about it being delayed. I hope it’s not that would really suck!
Me too Stealbook UHD Set 249€ in Germany
Jeff edition only 267€ here in Germany
I got mine yesterday and then got home and saw that the outer steel case was damaged so I had to return it and luckily they had one more that was undamaged, unfortunately the digital code only redeems HD which would have been nice if that was listed somewhere before purchase.
Thanks for the video.
Definitely getting this.
Oh man, thanks for the reminder! I picked up Season 8 on 4k and only watched one episode and decided I NEEDED to have the whole series in 4k. I stopped watching in anticipation for the box set and I can't wait to do a full run through.
It's actually upscaled 4K nothing new if you have a high-end player like an OPPO or Panasonic's top of line. Well Dolby Vision but that's not the intended colour depth for the show as it was aired in SDR not HDR.
Sold!!! Preordered today.
Hey Jeff, thank you so much for sharing this review! I just bought it on Amazon at half price thanks to a heads up from my good friend Rob! I feel even better after seeing your video. I’ll have it tomorrow so I can’t wait!
I’ve been excited for this review. Great as always. I want this bad, just not sure I can afford it. Also, very excited for you LOTR review. I will be buying that day 1 and binging it over my Christmas vacation.
Love your video! Exactly what I'm looking for.
I pre-ordered the steelbook collection back in July. It should be arriving in a few days. I can't wait to experience this in Dolby Vision and Atmos.
Thanks for the recommendation, just finished season 3, and I'm very happy with my purchase so far! This is definitely one of my collection items, that really make me appreciate having a home cinema 🌟❤️
I hadn't watched GOT before, but because of your quality based recommendation I gave it a try.. Will never regret this decision :) ❤️🥰
My first time ever. I'm halfway season 4.
@@robertrobitaille320 Awesome! I'm looking forward to starting season 4 😁👍👍👍
Just started watching this show. I'm addicted
Pre orded it when it was possible. Cant wait to get it!
So excited to get this. I skipped getting 300 , beetlejuice, and the goonies on 4K, so I could save and get the steel book collection.
I bought the Blu-ray Collectors edition for the 1080p in May not knowing about this 4k set. Ended up buying the box set 4k too so now I have 2 sets. The design and box of the 1080p one is beautiful though.
@@austinsackman720 say same mine has Dolby vision Atmos and so on in Blueray versions also so Get A lot for half price say to expensive Upgrade when get Awasome in all in Blueray left a coment with photos from blueray that show have Atmos Dolby vision HDR and so on in That version also are Stream and DVD not get that blueray give you all that and say Note pay double for give me grät picture and format my TV upgrade picture also so have not that much more get look to photos ans see Show formats have no Atmos so not show in TV picture but case see read that has Atmos
Love your channel.. so helpful..I'm purchasing GoT, right now
I'm sure I'll get this at some point when the memory of Season 8 has faded enough for me to attempt watching it again -- that's going to be a LONG while from now though. If it pops up during a Black Friday or Prime Day for 80 bucks at some point, maybe.
Yes, a painful memory
Can’t wait for the Akira 4K review!!!
Can you do a deep dive on the packaging of this like if any disc art, all the spines, box arts etc.?
I have been waiting for this since the end of the 5th season. I haven't seen an episode since. Going to rewatch from the beginning on my 4K projection.
Man I need this set. Love the show.
I'd like a Sopranos or Twin Peaks 4K release especially Twin Peaks where I've already seen the 4K of 2 of my favorite episodes but not with HDR so they should remedy that
Wow - great review. We watched this both via DVD box set and also via AppleTV - purchasing from iTunes. I'd be interested in your review on 'Rome' from HBO. "I'll go with the 4K, all day" - there's a TV shirt slogan right there.
Watched your review and now own two sets of game of thrones but the difference is astronomical. The Blu-ray I purchased a while ago literally looked like the broadcast which I got over 1080i satellite, but this 4K I feel like they're filming in my room, grainless, bright, excellent black contrast so I can see the details in the dark finally, And there's a lot of dark scenes in GOT. Can hardly wait to watch it again and catch the long night episode I just don't want to spoil it and go straight to that episode for a test with the X900H. I just know it'll be worth the wait going through the series again it'll be like the first time!
Lmao I’m watching it right now and it’s crispy but it says 2021 but looks good color might be better with hdr but image wise it looks good
Cheep packaging is never a deal breaker for me. I'm 100% focused on recording quality.
Cheap packaging is not a bad thing so long as it holds discs and is not so fragile I'm afraid to touch it.
I would absolutely understand that the 4K version of the series would look a lot better than HBO GO, but the problem is I already got the limited collector's edition on Blu Ray for $250. Im still unsure about spending $200 again for the only upgrades are the higher bitrate, and the HDR as the Blu Ray discs already has Dolby Atmos. Plus I really didn't like how the show ended
Yeah, I heard a lot (not most) people bi*ched about the ending. However, the 4k version is worth it, for me, IF the price is severely dropped. If you have a good TV, you will get to see all the things you couldn't see via Rec.709 color space.
@@AscendedSaiyan3 it's all upscaled 4K content the rendering of CG down to the filming is all mastered below 4K so what the intended output is closer to Blu-ray quality even the SDR is the intended output that matches the Original broadcast vision.
@@Tidbitkid Resolution and color space are two very different things. The bigger leap in PQ, this generation, is in HDR and color space (Rec. 2020 vs. Rec. 709). The difference between 2k and 4k is smaller.
@@AscendedSaiyan3 it's not intended colour space when aired so Dolby Vision is not that important in viewing this show in its best form. It's also upscaled 4K so even a lesser reason not to upgrade.
@@Tidbitkid Your statements don't make much sense. You have not refuted any of my points. I don't get it.
Season 8 makes me want to wait to get this set. I'll probably jump on it next year when the price drops
Jeff ... I went to purchase this box set in Michigan at Best Buy today and I was able to get one, but I had to ask for it. My concern was as I rushed back to the 4k and blu-ray section, to my amazement, I found 7 rows of EMPTY shelves! I asked what was going on and was informed that Best Buy was going to "online" sales only and that their stores are going to stop selling them on site in their stores. As a collector this is bad news. I was told that this was not just their store, others are doing the same thing. Would be interested in your thoughts. Love your channel.
Been buying these on blu ray since the show has been airing and picked up season 8 on 4K ..wouldn’t mind this, but can’t justify the $200 upgrade, great review.
It's also upscaled 4K not native so very little reasons other then Dolby Vision which is not an intended colour space for the show when it first aired.
@@Tidbitkid thank you for bringing this up. I was going to upgrade but I’ll pass considering I already have the series on Blu-ray
Can’t wait to get mine love game of thrones best show ever
It’s on my Christmas list. Effin-A, Cotton, I’m salivating over just THINKING about owning this collection...or it could be the bacon I just ate. Either way, I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
I'm still waiting for Xena warrior princess to get blu-ray release. But I'd love bones, eureka, warehouse 13 though the special effects won't be worth the upgrade
We have to wait quite a while over here in the uk I think it’s December 14 it’s going to be a great addition to my collection
Years I've waited for this release. I refrained from binging the show because I want a supreme box set like this... can't wait for s first time experience with game of thrones
You're in for a treat! :)
That's cool you get to experience it for the 1st time in 4k. Enjoy!
Still buying this but had to decide rent or the 4K complete collection of game of thrones. Unfortunately rent won. But still saving money to purchase this set
I want to see the long night episode in 4k 🙌
just ordered mine (ik im late lol) but what a fantastic review man!
I'm looking forward to this but not for that money and the cheap packaging. But I can wait.
I nees a 4K + Blu Ray pack edition (all at once)... Great video!
Thanks Jeff!!
WOW! I love GOT . Yeah the 8th season was rushed but still an amazing show!!!! I'm dropping the $200 for my home theater - ooooohhhhh yeah!
I will tell my kids someday the series ended with S06E10.
No one cares. The show ended at 8x06, accept it.
Watching GAME OF THRONES (season 1) in 4K on my 32" Samsung monitor is breathtaking. The sound is crystal clear on the headphone, you hear every detail and you see every detail. It makes you appreciate the art of film making, how the sound moves, the nuances. It is mesmerizing. Upscale 4K is not the same.
This release is not native 4K but rather upscaled for the UHD Disc for every season.
So the better lightning quality in season 8 is specific to this new 4k set release or would the 8th season steelbook edition also contain the improved Long Night?
Thanks for this review. I have to buy it 😀 I wonder there are Polish subtitles... 🤨
I’ve never seen an entire TV box set released in 4K UHD. The best I’ve seen is blu-Ray from a 4K scan.
It's an upscaled 4K set not native
@@Tidbitkid Season 1-7 is upscaled and the last season 8 is native 4k
@@deadpixelart6063
Whole series including season 8 are Upscaled 4K

@@Tidbitkid some is in native 4k near the end of the series starting around 6/7 actually. They used a 6k dragon elite camera.
Its technically 3.2 k for the first few seasons but still an upgrade from 1080p.
Hey Jeff, seen the 4k bourne collection is on sale on amazon, just wondering if you have reviewed them and what your thoughts were if the Collection was worth it :)?
The Blu-ray of the first 3 films are early Blu-ray/HD-DVD released encodings and mastering. So the UHD set even though the first 4 films out of 5 are upscaled 4K discs the mastering is modern vs early early Blu-ray mastering.
I already own the steel books of the entire series (In the UK) where the series 8 was 4k and the others HD, I do not think it is worth buying yet another copy; However, as was stated if you have only ever seen it on TV via streaming (or 720p via sat) then I would jump at getting this.
I ordered this the day it became available for preorder. I cannot wait to get it next week. Does this box set come with blu-ray disk as well?
I bought this based on your great review. It was a super bummer the digital vide was only the old HD transfer.
I got lucky and scored the BluRay set during the recent Amazon Prime days for under $100 (CDN) ! I was totally stunned by the quality of the image ! I honestly can’t imagine it looking much better on 4K. I have about 100 4K discs and 800 or so BluRays which I mention because I don’t want you all thinking I don’t know WTF I’m talking about LOL. The picture is fantastic on both LED and OLED. The BluRay set also includes the Dolby Atmos tracks and the digital codes. It also has an option to enable an in episode guide. The guide lets you see bios of the characters who are on screen as well as details on the location and history pertinent to the episode. I thought this would be gimmicky but it’s surprisingly well executed. If anyone has access to both the 4K and the BluRay, I’d love to know if you think the upgrade to 4K is worth it. (in which case my BluRay set will end up under the Christmas Tree for someone else !)
You would be correct in assuming it won't look much better as it's an upscaled 4K set. Only thing of note is Dolby Vision which is not the original intended colour space for this show when it first aired.
Agreed. The 4K edition do not bring much to the table in terms of upgrades compared to regular blu-ray. It's uspscaled 4K. I have all eight seasons on blu-ray, and probably will not upgrade it to 4K:
Read this review: www.blu-ray.com/movies/Game-of-Thrones-The-Complete-First-Season-4K-Blu-ray/202472/
The blu-rays are so good, there is no way this is worth an upgrade.
I heard the HDR alone is worth it and most scenes which looked kinda dark on blu ray definitely benefit from it. I also wanna buy the set cause I've never watched a single episode but obviously the show is a cultural phenomenon and I want the best pictures quality since I can play 4k Blu-rays on my PS5.
Thanks for this comment. I also bought the complete series special packaging set back when it originally came out on blu ray. At the time it was about $230. So that's obviously not something I would want to purchase again in 4k if the upgrade is minimal. If the picture quality is almost as good as the 4k and it has atmos I'll stick with my blu ray set
Did they cut any of the commentaries out? Do the Blu-ray disks have any features the 4k disks don’t have?
Won't be picking this up ,but Westworld S03 and Chernobyl are a must own for me.
ah you got it early. Next on my list. for the steelbooks
Was hoping the review would've touched on the interactive features in the episodes. With the Blu-ray version, you can have the optional tab in the top right of the screen where you can click on a character or location (etc) and get a mini bio. Can anyone confirm this 4K version will have the same feature? Also, is there an optional 'commentary overlay' where the actors and/or directors comment on the scenes while they're playing out in real time? Thanks!
Best Buy is selling all the seasons on blu ray for $10 a season on Black Friday. Pretty good deal, and their blu rays are top notch too
Yeah, and I believe most of the Blu-rays have the Atmos tracks
Pro-tip this is a upscaled 4k release so if you own the Blu-rays your not missing much especially if you have a great player that does upscaling or a tv that does it well.
@@Tidbitkid yeah there is a lot of CGI in some seasons
I really want see Vikings blu ray 4k box set I'm also thinking getting game of thrones box set in the near future
Oh, yeah! Vikings is one I'm really looking forward to on 4k.
I love going back to tv shows every few years and rewatch my favorites. I enjoyed game of thrones, the ending didnt bother me. Thing is, a lot of the BEST moments in game of thrones are based around betrayal, shocking reveals, or unexpected sudden deaths. I feel like i "personally" will have trouble watching it knowing all those moments before they come.
5-10 years from now when i've forgotten most of that stuff maybe.
I got the blu-ray box last Christmas as a present. I would buy this for my self if I had not got that last year. It will be out here next week for €200
@Films At Home, I got the complete limited edition blu-ray box set, is this a worthy upgrade or I should just keep what I got?
With the Bluray 4K version you’ll get HDR and Dolby Atmos. As long as you can take advantage of these features, you should totally go for it.
I bought this set just after christmas and it looks absolutely gorgeous! However, it was also a faulty product as multiple discs did not work. I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing for this 4K collection?
Yep i've experienced skipping and glitching on multiple discs. On a high end player that has zero issues with triple layer discs.
IMO simply the best tv show of all time. Just make sure you watch in sequence.
I've had this on my wish list ever since I watched your review, but it was too much for me. Today's Prime Day price was 113 Euros. Deal!
I purchased the GAME OF THRONES 4k STEELBOOK/CASE.
I don’t think I need to put down another $200 on the same thing.
I believe the steelbooks are just the same disks from that collection but in steelbook and case.
Is the picture quality of all 8 seasons 4k worthy over the blu ray?
I want to get this, I really do. I've only been able to find the collection on Best Buy and Amazon though, and both share the same negative reviews. There's a ton of reviews out there complaining about the DVDs not being supported in their region (mainly the US) or it just not actually being in 4k format.
Finally picked this up on Amazon sale and BB price match for 99.00 very stoked...
I guess, like the other 4K sets, this will be missing the preview of the episodes option? I always like watching a preview of the next episode after watching an episode and they have left it off all 4K sets.
Hyped!
I have the Blu-ray boxset That has Dolby Atmos sound track, apart from the picture quality on this 4K Boxset would you say it worth me upgrading from my Blu-ray to this 4K edition.
Thanks
Dave
No. It's upscaled 4K every season. Invest if you haven't in a high-end UHD Disc player like Panasonic's or if your a Craigslist hunter an OPPO 203/205 but the Panny top of the line is better. The upscaling and SDR to HDR converter features really bring new viewing experience on existing content you own already and into the future.
@@Tidbitkid thanks Tiditkid I appreciate the reply and your honesty, I will stick to my Blu-ray, I have the Panasonic UB9000 as you advised, Regards, Dave
I would kill for a Mr Robot 4k boxset!!
I have all seasons on blu ray. Is it worth upgrading to 4K? The blu ray allready has atmos but the dolby vision does sound intriguing.
Im prob gonna get the 4K, nice review. The blurayCollectors set went down in price, I believe its cheaper than this set.
I have Blu-Ray sets of the first 6 seasons.
I was wondering are all the special features from features included in the 4K set?
I have never seen Game of Thrones, can't wait to see it in 4k.
I've watched the series on previously on HBO and it's amazing. I'm watching season one on 4K blu-ray and the replay value is off the charts . Just a bit of advice; I'd probably stop watching review videos if I were you. This is such an incredible series/experience that it's not worth taking a chance on any spoilers from possible reviewers and/or comments section.
Also, the reason I replied is because I just watched a review with a spoiler right before I read your comment! Just a warning from GoT fan!
@@dadkins54 Thank you so much, bro. I am just waiting for the 4k to arrive to my house.
Be prepared to be gutted about the last two seasons. They suck ass.
Just do not watch Season 8, it has nothing to do with the previous seasons.
I wonder how you feel about HBO max now having Dolby vision/atmos now on the series vs 4k disc. Of course physical reigns supreme but how much of a difference would it be now
I have watched all 8 seasons plus I have digital copies but I nonetheless ordered this for the better picture and sound. Great review!
I can't find the digital codes. What does it look like?
I heard most of the 4K disks are messed up. Has anyone on here had that issue?
by the way. Do you watch HDR with Dynamic tone mapping on or off? It kinda makes very dark scenes brighter, but bright scenes also look better
My season 6 disc with the episodes that includes the battle of the bastards did not work. Luckily I'm still able to exchange it. What a hassle...check your discs!
i just ordered it ive never even seen one episode of got before im pumped!
I have the normal bluray collection. Is it a big upgrade when I upgrade to the 4kbluray?
Question, where is the 4K digital code redeemable at? No streaming platforms have it in 4K UHD...?
Hi Jeff. Huge, huge fan of your channel!
Question, could you recommend a nice, mid-level 5.1 channel home theater system? Thanks!!
Do the early seasons have separate 4k releases if you have the steelbooks?
The review helps me put with the purchase. $159 on Amazon. So I'm psyched
I ordered the steelbook version and now I’m more excited to see it. The non steelbook set could have been better if they had slipcovers for each case
The artwork is better on the 4k regular boxset and cases, but I do like the case the Steelbooks come in.
Just finished watching the entire 4K GOT Boxed Set. I have a defective Season Six, Disk #3 which won't even boot to the menu. How do you get a replacement disk from Warner Brothers?
I had the set in my cart on amazon. After i watched this review i deleted it from my cart and purchased it using your code. Hope you will get some money from Amazon.
Thank you!
But I already have the superior packaging of the regular blu ray set. Is it really worth it to shell out $200 for this??
You care more about the packaging that the content of the disk....
I own the blu rays and the first season in 4k. There is absolutely no comparison in video or audio. I can tell you now that when I'm watching the show I am not watching the packaging, I am watching the picture quality and clarity and enjoying the audio quality.
5.1 blu ray vs atmos audio. No contest. 4k hdr. 1080p sdr...
Does the digital code work for iTunes? Or just with Hulu or Movies Anywhere only?
Indeed
Did you have any issues with discs freezing or not playing? I’ve seen customer reviews mention this.
167.99 in Germany as of yet, I am considering it maybe in January if the price don't jump up.
Darn I just bought the blu ray collectors edition a few months ago same with lotr and started building my bluray collection. Then I bought a 4k tv right after and now Im beating myself in the head wanting everything in 4k lol.
It's upscaled 4K not native 4K.
Is it worth the upgrade from standard bluray?🤔
Short answer is no it's an Upscaled 4K release so if you have a good player/tv that already does good 4K upscaling your already more then most of the way in seeing this release.
What are the audio and subtitle options of the collection ?
