Game of Thrones, the TV juggernaught unleashed upon us by HBO is getting a spiffy makeover, for home release anyway. After the first two seasons last year, now seasons 3 and 4 are getting the Steelbook treatment.
Designed by Elastic, the agency responsible for the series’ Emmy® Award-winning opening credits, each version of this new Collectors release showcases a specific location that is significant to that season and includes usable magnets on the packaging featuring Game of Thrones sigils and symbols. Season 1 packaging featured Winterfell and Season 2 the Lannisters in King’s Landing. Season 3 will feature the magnet sigil of House Frey and their ancestral seat of the Twins, the location of Season 3’s infamous Red Wedding. The icy landscape of Castle Black and the Wall (where the brothers of the Night’s Watch fend off an army of wildlings from the far north) will grace the packaging of season 4, including a crow and Jon Snow’s sword, Longclaw, as the featured magnet.
Add to this the new Dolby Atmos audio technology as well as all the bonus content from the original releases and June 7th can’t come quickly enough for Thronians. Our reviews of the releases will be up on Cinapse next week but for now, read on to see how you can win a copy of these handsome steelbooks courtesy of HBO Home Entertainment.
