Vote with your wallet: DVDs, soundtrack, merch
Many people have been hoping that the show gets a bigger budget for season two. Well one way we might be able to influence that is to spend a lot of money on Game of Thrones stuff! Here are some suggestions:
The DVD and Blu-Ray of Game of Thrones Season One are up at Amazon now and are available for pre-order. No release date has been set, but based on HBO’s usual release time frame, I would say March 2012 is a safe bet. There is an outside chance they might release it early in time for the holiday season, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Amazingly, the DVD already ranks as the seventh most popular item in Movies & TV at Amazon. It was fourth earlier today. Let’s get that to #1!
The official soundtrack CD releases on Tuesday. You can pre-order that one at Amazon as well. Of course, the digital version is already available on iTunes.
Lastly, the HBO Shop continues to add more and more items (that Hodor shirt is made of win). And this week only, as a thank you to all of you Thrones fans, HBO is offering 20% off all orders. Just type in promo code GOT20 at checkout.
Winter Is Coming: I got my pre-orders in. What about you guys?
