Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; and all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords, and honest men...all will play the “Game of Thrones.”

Best Buy is offering a SteelBook edition of HBO's new 4K versions of the long running and much beloved Game of Thrones . The content is identical to that I detailed in our Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray review of the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of this review for more on the SteelBook's set look and feel.

On disc supplements are detailed in the Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection 4K Blu-ray review. Game of Thrones releases on Blu-ray have long featured some really nice packaging, including some of the previously released SteelBooks that also included magnetic sigils, as well as the gorgeous "picture box" release last year of Game of Thrones: The Complete Collector's Set. This comes housed in a SteelCase with embossed dragons on the side and back, and with a foam insert which holds each of the eight individual cases. The designs of the eight cases is often quite subtle, emphasizing muted colors and kind of abstract representations of things like dragon's scales, stringed instruments or chainmail. The back of each case features a quote. The packages offer some different "strategies" in terms of holding multiple discs, with some cases offering discs stacked on top of each other, and others offering separate hinged holders. As is frequently the situation with these types of multi-disc releases, several of the discs in my set had become dislodged during the shipping process, and in fact even one of the plastic spindles meant to hold a disc in place had broken off. The outer SteelCase was also slightly dinged. I've uploaded JPEGs of the packaging in screenshot positions 6 through 10.
Collectors of SteelBooks may well want this edition of the series, and the packaging is handsome if rather restrained looking. The actual video, audio and supplementary content comes Highly recommended.
