Rome: The Complete Series



Figured this would be worth posting since it hasn't been this low in nearly a year. Last year around this time it was a DOTD for $60, so you could take your chances and sleep on this price for a bit but a sale price like this generally doesn't last more than a week. At this price, if you're a fan of Gladiator and Roman history it's worth a blind buy.

This show is what hooked me on HBO. It's amazing.

Noticed Rome - The Complete Series on Blu-ray dropped to 50% off in the last day or two.

I just finished watching Season 1 on DVD and it was amazing. I've been wanting to grab the entire series on Blu-ray and this seems like a damn good price. Anyone know if it's ever sold for lower than $69.99?

Anyway, if you haven't watched this series, I highly recommend it as a blind buy on Blu-ray as it has incredible production values and amazing character development, standards for great HBO shows, of which this is one of the best along with Deadwood, True Blood, and others.

Price is even lower on Amazon.co.UK if you don't mind importing - http://www.amazon.co...ag=bluraycom-21

$53.55 shipped

I got it for $59.99 at Amazon on 12/9/09. Might be worth waiting.

Then again, even at $69.99 it's worth it. Just a fantastic set, probably the best Blu-ray set I own.

I saw this. Wanted to bite but I've still got seasons 4&5 of the Wire left along with the whole series of Six Feet Under.

I am hoping that they keep this price ( or lower it ) until the 26th.

I don't buy gifts for myself in November or December.

Heh, I kid ... anyway, might want to add that you can grab it for around $53 shipped from Amazon UK and the UK edition comes in 2 individual plastic cases in the larger box, rather than the cardboard the US release uses.

Amazon's price is only good through Nov. 20th FYI

What's funny is I didn't even see that you posted it too. I think maybe I saw your post and thought it was mine lol.

Great timing! I've been looking for a good birthday present for my girlfriend, she loves Roman history and has always wanted to watch this series.
