House of the Dragon is amazing, it is no secret. Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragons tells the story of House Targaryen. House Targaryen are at the height of their power with control of 15 dragons. This amazing show has won viewers over with powerful storytelling, a great cast, fantastic cinematography, imagery, and dragons, of course! If you are a collector, physical media enthusiast or even a fan of House of the Dragon, you need this amazing show on Blu-ray. With the dragons especially, it would be a waste to skip on the Blu-ray. Fortunately, Sanity has the goods. If you need more incentive to snatch this show up, Sanity currently has a competition to win 1 of 4 $500 VISA gift cards if you pre-order or purchase House of the Dragon!
House of the Dragon has some of the best visuals in recent television history, with a budget of $20 million per episode. Purchase or pre-order House of the Dragon on Blu-ray and see these incredible visuals for yourself. The Blu-ray features the standard 16:9 enhancement display resolution which basically means it is beautiful, crisp, and in clear 1080p. The UHD Blu-ray gives the same 16:9 display resolution but at 2160p which means more pixels making up the image on your screens. Picking up House of the Dragon on Blu-ray essentially means you will be getting the best picture quality at home! Sure, streaming it is convenient, however, streaming it in high-definition required additional internet bandwidth because streaming services use high bit rates. On a Blu-ray disc, you do not need to worry about how many bit rates you are getting, because, well simply, you are guaranteed to read the bit rat straight from the disc without an internet connection!

Audio is important in any television show or movie, and thankfully, House of the Dragon does not disappoint in this regard. The Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray give you the best audio quality available for your TV or home theatre set-up. Boasting DTS 5.1 HD audio on Blu-ray, you will hear every dragon roar with ease. This means that the Blu-ray audio will be less compressed and support higher bit rates of up to 1.5 megabits per second. It will sound louder, and clear! The best part; much like visuals, the audio quality is not dependent on internet speed or quality. Pre-order or purchase House of the Dragon and not only will you get great audio, you will also get the chance to win 1 of 4 $500 VISA gift cards only at Sanity!

We have established that Blu-ray discs are higher quality than streaming. However, what about future-proofing? Sure, streaming is great, it is convenient even. Your internet may be fast and dependable…right now. What happens when you have internet issues? What happens if your internet provider has bandwidth caps? This is where owning the physical Blu-ray discs save you! Grab a copy from Sanity and you never have to worry about your internet issues and if it can keep up streaming in a high enough quality to enjoy watching House of the Dragon. Essentially, these Blu-ray optical discs can hold heaps of data on them and give you the best image and audio without hurting your internet. For example, Blu-ray discs run up to 40Mbps (Megabytes per second) and 4K Blu-ray discs run up to 128Mbps of data, where streaming services top out around 17Mbps. It is a lot of numbers, I know, but what is important here is that Blu-rays are awesome!

Even looking at Blu-ray 4K discs. It can be noted that many streaming services only stream at half the amount of bit rates than what an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc can provide for you. Let us not forget that the UHD Blu-ray also has HDR which is high dynamic range, meaning the colours will be more natural and vibrant. While on the topic of streaming, usually when you stream a series or movie, that is it. Just the bare bones content. However, for the most part, Blu-ray discs come jam-packed with special features and bonus content. Again, this is because they can hold heaps of data on them.
