Get the U.K. import
I just finished watching this complete series collection of the sopranos on Blue Ray, and I wanted to write a review to hopefully help answer any questions people might have about this U.K. release.
The top question for me was whether or not it's region free, considering that the product description says it is, and some reviews on Amazon claim that it's not.
The answer is yes; it's totally region free.
My blue ray player is region 1, and I had absolutely no trouble playing these discs.
Picture quality is great, with a few grainy spots here and there, but that's because of the way they were filmed.
Overall, this is the best this show has ever looked.
Sound quality is also great, with a 5.1 surround English master.
The packaging is also great; unlike many complete series collections that have the discs poorly crammed on top of each other, ( The shield, Sanford and son, ect. )
the discs are stored inside separate cases inside the box.
Check out the photos I've attached to my review, and you'll see what I mean.
It also comes with a bonus picture book, which I really don't care much about, but it's still nice to have I guess.
I would recommend the U.K. import over the american release based on price; right now the U.K. import is $70, and the American release is over $100.
I hope this helps someone, and thank you for reading.
P.S. It shipped very quickly, and arrived before it was said to.
