Ready Player One is SO GOOD. I listened to the audiobook for my first read and I highly recommend it :D
Ready Player One was awesome, absolutely awesome! A great read for those who love sci-fi and dystopias, but even cooler for those who grew up in the 80s and will know what all those certain video games and movies and tv shows references mean. A five-star read.

I hadn't heard of those (the box set), but there is something special about box sets...which publishers would get as inventive with more of them as they do with dvd box sets...
