New York, N.Y., July 1, 2015 - The smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones has sat atop the Iron Throne of the home entertainment charts as the best-selling TV on Blu-ray/DVD title in each of the last four years. The box sets are popular among fans for their extensive bonus content that takes diehard viewers even further into the world of Westeros. Now a new Steelbook collectors release is bringing a whole new dimension to the series with the addition of a Dolby Atmos soundtrack and brand new box art designed by the team that created the series' Emmy® Award-winning title sequence. Seasons 1 and 2 will be available in the new Steelbook format for $79.98 each on November 3, 2015, just in time for holiday gifting season. Seasons 3 and 4 will release on the heels of the first two seasons, with release date details coming soon.

The Steelbook sets feature brand new box art designed by Elastic, the agency responsible for the series' Emmy® Award-winning opening credits. Each Steelbook showcases a specific location that is significant to that season and includes usable magnets on packaging featuring Game of Thrones sigils and symbols:

o Season 1 packaging features Winterfell, where fans are introduced to the Stark family in the series premiere. The magnet for Season 1 is the direwolf sigil of House Stark.

o In Season 2, the Lannisters' influence is keenly felt from the Iron Throne and their sigil is included on packaging set in King's Landing, where the season's pivotal Battle of the Blackwater occurs.

o Season 3 features the magnet sigil of House Frey and their ancestral seat of the Twins-the location of this season's infamous Red Wedding.

o Season 4 features 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. The magnet for this season features a crow and Jon Snow's sword, Longclaw.

In addition to all of the bonus content from the previous Blu-ray sets, the Game of Thrones Steelbook is the first TV on Blu-ray title to be released with the revolutionary new audio technology Dolby Atmos. The Blu-ray features a newly remixed Dolby Atmos soundtrack, which places and moves sounds and music anywhere in the room, including overhead, creating a captivating experience that brings entertainment alive all around the audience. With the new Steelbook set, fans can hear Daenerys's dragons swoop past them and feel the soaring score rise and fall around them. To experience Dolby Atmos at home, Dolby Atmos-enabled AV receivers and additional speakers are required; however, Dolby Atmos soundtracks are fully backward compatible with traditional audio configurations and legacy home entertainment equipment and will automatically play in the best possible way.

Seeing and liking how much consideration they have given the spine artwork much like they did to the Japanese HD-DVD release of Band of Brothers. Well done HBO and Elastic!

I have to say so many people have wanted this steelbook series and now we've got the first 4 which sound incredible with the spines matching and magnets for each house. The price is a bit crazy but that's just an MSRP so we can hope for a drop in price at release.

I also hope these steelbooks get released in other counties and as someone above pointed out, a similar thing happened with True Detective so let's wait and see what happens.

They certainly look incredible plus they have Dolby Atmos which is a nice bonus.

FINALLY! Steelbooks for GoT AND with DOLBY ATMOS??? That's amazing :thumbs:
But DAMN that price. Can't afford it for now :(

More importantly, as more seasons get released, what guarantee does any of us have that they will create a matching spines? Not to mention a matching front art. For this reason alone I'm hesitant.
I'm pretty sure, like Breaking Bad, once the series ends, there will be a whole set of steelbooks for GoT. So until then, the exclusive slipcovers will suffice.

and @bloodsnake007 GET IN HERE BRO!!!
