All 50 Game Of Thrones episodes for 67c each (but in SD)

All fifty existing Game Of Thrones episodes (first five seasons) are currently on sale for 67 cents ($0.67) per episode, but only in SD (not HD) at Amazon Instant Video. This includes the most recent Season #5.

You have to buy the episodes one by one, the Season sets are not discounted. If you buy all fifty episodes, that’s 50 times $0.67 = $33.50 for the whole series. However, it is SD only, and for a high production values like this with lots of scenery, unless you are watching on a small screen, SD won’t do it justice. But the price is definitely right 🙂

Free TV Pilot: A&E’s The Returned (HD, no commercials)

A brand new TV series, The Returned, that premiered on A&E on Monday 3/9/15 is offering, for a limited time only, the pilot episode for FREE, in HD, and without commercials at Amazon Instant Video. Please note this will be free only for a few days after it premieres. After that, it will sell just like any other online episode ($2 SD, $3 HD).

Points of Confusion

  1. this is an American-made version of the French TV series “The Returned”, which aired on The Sundance Channel in 2013
  2. the A&E TV series is NOT related to the book The Returned by Jason Mott. Mott’s book is the basis of the ABC TV series “Resurrection”
