Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “if you are picking up digital products, go for Doctor Who, Season Seven Part One. If you are looking for physical products, go with the Universal Classic Monster Collection.” Alex says, ” I’m going with the Retro Game Master collection. I love that show almost irrationally – and if you are a fan of retro video games, it’s definitely worth checking out that show.”

    It should be noted that some of these digital-only “season” titles, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Season Five, are for an upcoming season and don’t currently include every episode (because they haven’t been broadcast yet). I think the same may be true of Warehouse 13: Season Four.

    • W. Blaine Dowler says:

      Yes, but I don’t link to an iTunes title until the “Season Pass” is available. The other episodes in the season will be downloaded automatically once available. For example, the only entry for Supernatural Season Eight so far is the Comic-Con coverage, but the entire season will download as soon as possible, typically the next day. This is the way I’ve been following Doctor Who for this batch of reviews.

      Also, any thoughts on the formatting this week? I’ve made a few more changes, as you can see.

      • Fez says:

        It looks a little better. It might be even better if there were no borders between the cells for a given title. By that I mean there would be a border around a given title/product, but not between the cells displaying the link to purchase.

        Also some sort of disclaimer on the iTunes current-season subscriptions would be nice, at first I was confused about what they were until I realized that they were for what’s airing now.

      • Chad Cloman says:
        September 30, 2012 at 3:56 pm

        I agree about the borders. Put a thick one above the DVD title and hide them everywhere else.

    I have already preordered The Princess Bride blu-ray. Sometimes I hesitate about upgrading a movie, this is not one of those times.

    I just introduced my 8 year old to this movie the other day. He’s been going around saying “No more rhymes now, I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?” for two days.
