Just in time for the holidays, Best Buy is now accepting pre-orders for Game of Thrones Season 4 DVD and Blu-Ray.
The release date is set for February 17, 2015 with the Blu-Ray including an advertised “bonus disc” (contents currently unknown).
Per the norm, Best Buy has special edition covers for the Blu-Ray of the season including the Martell cover shown here as well as others.
The pre-order price is also discounted, offering $15.00 off MSRP.
Check out the other special covers after the jump and let the complaints about the set not being available to buy before Christmas commence!
Oz of Thrones: My hopes for a Bolton have been thwarted. But the Martell version is pretty sweet. What say you?
I wish I could get the Martell one…
I have a Lannister and Targaryen cover already, I lack the Stark one. It seems like they will offer the Stark cover in pretty much every season. To be honest, I need to have 3 covers that I currently lack. Those are the Stark direwolf,Stannis’ flaming heart, and Martell speared sun. I think I’ll get the Martell cover this year and hope that Stannis’ cover will be available next year, while the Stark cover will be available every year. Also, Best Buy always comes down to $ 30 the week it is released. I’m not sure why anyone would pre-order.
Was really hoping for Stannis…sigh. I guess I’ll settle for Martell this time
If only HBO would put some effort into their bonus material :/ Why not give us like 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage on how they did each episode? Why only release one featurette detailing one major episode (likely to be 409)?
The videos they post on YouTube after each episode does nothing with this, seeing as it’s just cast and crew giving us a plot summary of the episode we just watched.
Tyrion Pimpslap,
I have the Ned on a throne cover, Greyjoy, and Lannister cover. I’ll get the Martell Cover this season. For seasons 5-6 I want Stannis and maybe Targaryen or Blackfyre. No idea what house I want for season 7
No Stannis? Cover Fail
I already have a Greyjoy cover so…TYRELLS!
Maybe the “bonus disc” contains the deleted footage of LS, Nymeria, a few hanging Freys, and Coldhands.
(note the use of the Oxford comma)
Turncloak,
I have the same season 1 cover. I have Lannisters for season 2 and Targaryen for season 3. Season 4 will be Martell. Hopefully Stannis in season 5 and Stark in one of the final 2 seasons. As for the other, I’m not sure. The Greyjoy and Bolton sigils are cooler than the Tyrell or Tully ones. So if they are made available, I would probably choose one of them.
Wouldn’t hold out much hope for any more Greyjoy covers….at least until Season 6 *crosses everything*
What, no Flayed Man cover, is there no love for House Bolton!
I guess the final season could feature an unknown sigil, if the eventual king on the iron throne does not have one currently. I’m thinking a triple headed dragon on a white field or a Stark sigil crossed with a Targaryen sigil.
Oz of Thrones,
What happened to your Looking Forward series? I was looking forward to it.
Of the Night,
Part 2 is coming.
Just pre-ordered the Martell cover
Carne,
Maybe not every episode but definitely the major ones like the trial by combat, episode 4, Mockingbird, etc. filler episodes not so much
Sarella Sand,
So many big episodes in season 4: Purple Wedding, Laws of Gods and Men, Lysa death, RV vs The Mountain, Battle at the Wall, Season finale. Even the premier episode was superb. That’s more than what we got most seasons!
What appears to be the start of HBO S5 promotion:

Nothing much there right now but since we are starved for news…
mariamb,
Very cool! I see that our old friend WinterPhil provided a link to the video as well. It doesn’t reveal much apart from one image at the end, but since this is an Oz post, I’ll leave the link in Sue the Fury‘s most recent post instead. Just to be safe.
Jared,
Yes – our old friend delivered. Saw the video as well. Very cool!
mariamb,
Sounds like they might be sending short clips to people. I signed up! Hopefully, it starts soon.
Edit: just saw the video. Good stuff!
(Edited: Already posted the same in the newest update article)
MARTELL FOR ME!! I’m hoping for a Dayne cover in Season 7…
And praise the gods that they put that raven on a different background. The blue was hideous.
Maybe next year.
Or a mockingbird. 🙂
There is only ONE sigil that needs to be on the final season’s cover, and anyone who has read between the lines in the books should already know what sigil I’m speaking of:

Al Swearengen,
You are correct Al! Read it again. The pre-orders are just in time for the holidays.
I have the regular covers for Season 1 & 2 (I like them), and the Targaryen cover for Season 3.
I think I’ll get the Lannister one this time, as it looks pretty sweet and it’s an important season for the Lannisters (Joffrey’s wedding, Tyrion’s trial, Tywin’s demise, etc.).
I wonder if it will look mismatched on the shelf, though, without the black spine.
Season 3 has already outsold season 2… apparently people were just not that into owning season 2 (season 1 is still the king, sales wise).
I think season 4 could do very well.
