I bet I can depress you on this rather sunny Tuesday morning. Betcha. If you’re up to date with your Breaking Bad watching, there’s only about 130 minutes of the show left; less than the length of your average movie. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t want this to end, and can invisage that I will be heading right of the way back to the beginning once we find out Walter’s fate at the end of season five. Which leads me nicely onto this, as the folks at Sony have just released full details on a whopping Blu-Ray Breaking Bad seasons 1-5 box-set, which looks amazing!
Featuring 55 hours of bonus content, the set features 16 discs featuring every single episode, a Los Pollos Hermanos apron (wow), Vince Gilligan designed challenge coin and an awesome barrell to keep your discs in. There’s a lso a 16-page booklet too.
There’s a November 25th date set for the UK and US folks can get this from 26th November.
Breaking Bad season five continues for the next three weeks on AMC in the US and on Netflix in the UK. Here’s a little more info on what the Barrel contains:
