Game of Thrones season four arrives on Blu-ray today, just in time for fans to get caught up on the show (or just refresh their memory) before the arrival of the upcoming fifth season. However, long gone are the days when buying a TV show on Blu-ray was just a simple trip to the store.

Now it seems like every retailer sells an "exclusive" version of the box set, featuring bonus material and extra goodies with prices that vary according to which store or online retailer you are shopping at.
