Which of these is your favorite packaging for the series 8 dvd / bluray set:

I find it annoying that the USA seems to have had more effort put into their set .

Have to agree. Not a lot of difference in the outer packaging design but very annoying how the USA set has a completely separate holder for each disc whereas in our UK version has them jammed together, with every two over lapping making them fiddly to get out and much more easy to damage them. There seems to have be less effort put in each time. Series 4 had a little booklet detailing the episodes, series 5 had a section on the inside with a message from Moffat, but nowadays the set is as basic as possible unfortunately. Still, as long as we get a set containing all the episodes each year I suppose we can't complain too much.

I'm still much more annoyed that day and time were not included on any series box set making them the only two episodes to not be on any set since 2005 (I don't include the '50th anniversary' set as it was limited edition and as such not widely available like every other set). Frustrating how there is now a situation how you can own the series box set from every single year and still be missing two episodes.

I still don't get why people are still complaining about day of the doctor and time of the doctor not being on the 50th set. They just do not belong on it. They have both been released twice officially so there is jusf no need for a 3rd release. Agree about the region 2 packaging, very cheaply done.

Pretty certain they are on it, and pretty certain they belong on it too! How could you have a 50th anniversary boxset without the actual anniversary special...

Sorry I meant 8th season set. Lesson don't post drunk!

I was thinking more that they should have been on the series 7 set, with that having been slightly delayed to include them. I would say there is absolutely a case for them to have been on it, as name of the doctor starts a story and ends on a cliffhanger, all of which is continued in day of the doctor and then all the threads of which are all finally wrapped up in time of the doctor. Basically name is officially the last episode of series 7, but it's story is so intertwined with day/time that they are all one story which is why they are the real last 2 episodes of series 7 in my eyes. If you watched the series 7 box set then moved on to the series 8 box set having never seen the episodes before, nothing would make sense.

Also, before anyone says that people would have moaned about having to wait long enough for day/time to have been included, there were still the series 7 part and part 2 sets for those people and the vanilla releases of day and time so that wouldn't have been an issue. It would just have meant that those of us willing to wait that little bit longer would have had a more complete set, and that owning all the series box sets would mean owning all the episodes as it has done up until now with this poorly handled situation.

OP you realise that the US one is BluRay and the UK one is DVD dont you?

This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrAMeWW6H5g is the UK BluRay un-boxing.
The person in the video doesnt show the inside of the case, but you can bet it looks like the 5 disk BluRay box that the Tennant Specials came in, so at least the BluRay case is better but the artwork is the same!

Just for completeness of having the limited edition BluRay un-boxing too here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ReSBd-qcQ
