Torrent them... and then make yourself feel better by doing something nice like err, helping an old lady cross the street or giving a hobo some change

Takes a few minutes to download a episode and maybe a few hours to download all the seasons.
Or you can spend £ on buying the disks that you only watch once or maybe twice and sell afterwards.

Until I get a PS4 in the Jan sales I don't have a Blu Ray player
Yeah, good luck finding a month-old console in the January sales.
I suspect you're quite right. However Blu Ray players are a bit cheaper than I thought, seems you can pick one up for £50 these days.
Is it worth spending any more than that on a BR player?
This is turning into an expensive month...
Nope, just get a cheap one imo. Amazon will be having their Black Friday sale week soon, might be worth a look. Likely will see a cheap blu-ray player on there and might even see the got box set also, just be sure to check prices else where first as some things ain't as cheap as they first appear.

I was not too please with that show, it was like i was always expecting something to happen. It looks great in 1080p bluray with 6 channel audio. But the show... a bit boring. I only got to middle of season 1, but nothing happened so far. Just a lot of talking about possibly doing something. I also find midgets annoying on tv series like that.

If all else fail, start reading the books!
Sky can't take that away from you.

I don't really understand the problem.
I managed to buy each of the Lost series cheap from CEX, then sold each one again for only a few quid under what I'd bought them for as trade-in for the next series. Reckon the whole show cost me £20 to watch in total. Might be another option.

It's a really sad story. I've been trying to start watching this from Season 1, Episode 1, for a long time. Everybody says it's awesome.
I literally just upgraded to Sky Entertainment Extra+ with a new 12 month contract and a brand spanking new HD box, to watch this show.
And now Sky have removed it from their On Demand service, a month after a MASSIVE advertising campaign to let us know it was part of their (award winning, naturally) new On Demand package.
What's on Sky On Demand now? A complete load of ****. Massive bait and switch
The only place I can watch this show legally is asking £25 per series.
**** you Sky. And **** you Netflix, Blinkbox and all the rest.
I'm *not* paying £100 to watch this damn show! Oh well, I guess I'll never see it. And *yes*, I *am* mad, bro. Sky have played me like a sucker.
I wouldn't be too bothered tbh. The wife and myself tried watching GOT ages ago and we'd both given up on it about half way through season 1. It wasn't enough to keep our interest so we moved onto Breaking Bad instead
It's 5.1 on Sky.

Waking Dead is still available and seems quite good from the 4 episodes I've watched so far.
My bro loves Breaking Bad. Not seen any of it yet.
There were a few decent box sets advertised not just GoT. They mostly all got yanked after 28 days.
I also got the HD box because I just bought an HD telly. It used to be £10 more for HD but now it's £5 more, and this upgrade also unlocks the box sets (which used to be available to all, but are now for HD customers only, clever Sky).
Maybe he wanted moar battlez.

I had completely the opposite reaction, I could never get into Breaking Bad (just hated the main character) but I loved Games of Thrones so much it actually made me read all the books between season 1 and 2

They're probably working on a way to though.
For the OP I would just be a little patient, the new series starts in Spring and as other posters have said they'll most likely add this to the On Demand service and re-run the series on Sky Atlantic in order to drum up interest.
What I am surprised they haven't done yet is move it onto one of the movie channels to try and get subscribers to add that package to their account.
