Cons

•Discs have playback issues, unplayable on multiple DVD players tested.

•Some buyers feel misled by the 4K UHD upgrade, leading them to suggest a standard HDX Blay could have provided the same digital copy at a lesser price.

•Glitches in the DVD box set can vary depending on the player used, creating frustration during viewing.

Bottom Line

While 'Game of Thrones: Season 8 (Steelbook/4K Ultra HD/BluRay)' offers impressive acting, stunning visuals, and captivating storytelling, it comes with notable playback and digital copy issues that have frustrated many viewers.
