In what is surely a sign of the times (and not a good one IMO), HBO is releasing Game of Thrones season 5 digitally next month (Aug. 31) but the DVDs and Blu-Rays will have to wait until March 15, 2016.

The download will include bonus material, but it's not clear to me that the DVDs and blu-rays won't include more (since the box often includes more than they've listed).
I don't like this. Yet another studio manipulating the appeal of digital releases (have it now!) over physical media (wait 7 months!).
