does fancy packaging make you more likely to buy a DVD/blu-ray set?
Reader PJK pointed this out to me:
This is a rendering of packaging for an Amazon-exclusive blu-ray set of Season 3 of Game of Thrones, to be released in February 2014. [Amazon U.S.] [Amazon Canada] [not yet on Amazon U.K.]
PJK says:
And why would anyone buy this if not to display it prominently?
This is one of the more elaborate box sets I’ve seen, and while it’s sort of, um, interesting, I don’t see the point of paying almost twice as much as the regular blu-ray set — $104.99 versus $55.99 — just for a fancy box.
What about you? Does fancy packaging make you more likely to buy a DVD/blu-ray set? (Not just this set, but any set.) If so, what sort of special packaging do you like, and do you display it more prominently than other box sets?
