No hardware issues rating based on content    January 5, 2009
dvd watcher (bloomfield hills, mi)
I would prefer less Rodger Moore since he was fairly flat in his acting. The sound is fair and the picture is very good. I used a ps3 it worked fine. It seems most people that rated this movie poorly was because they had issues with their blu-ray player. They bought a player became out of date and had poor support. That is unless it has to do with the firmware needing a patch to work with the coding on these specific disks. Eitherway most people got their problem fixed but can't change their star rating.


Great quality, dreadful packaging    January 2, 2009
C. Scott (Texas)
As some others have written, I'm giving this collectors edition 1 star simply because of the packaging. Video quality: 5 stars; Packaging quality: -5 stars.

Foam spindles holding the discs in? Really? It is unbelievable that people make money to think this stuff up. The first time you take a disc out, you'll likely rip the foam right off (if the foam hasn't been ripped off in shipping already, and the disc is floating around free in the package). Solution: superglue the ripped foam back to the cardboard; just make sure you let the stuff dry before you put the disc back in.

The quality of the older bond movies is amazing on blu-ray, so on that note they did a good job. Still, I can't get past the complete invalidation of the entire experience of a collectors package by using these ridiculous foam disc holders.

Remember kids, plastic makes it possible. Foam is used to wrap pipes and cushion objects, not hold blu-rays to a cardboard container. So, if you're willing to try the superglue method, or you're okay with tossing the package, go for it. Otherwise, you might want to look at the individuals. At $79.99 for both volumes though, I'd be very tempted to go for it, put the discs in a dvd binder, and chunk the packaging.

On a side note, as I was writing the same review for each of the two individual volumes, I noticed some writing of incompatibility issues. For what it's worth, I've had none and am playing these on a PS3.


Purchase at your own risk    January 2, 2009

I bought this as a Gift for my Girlfriend but it would not play on my Sony PS3...Itried the updates but they do not work?...I will be returning this to Best Buy.


3 great titles, 3 decent titles, wait for sales.    December 22, 2008
Timothy G. Bell (Calgary, AB Canada)
Connery classics Dr No, From Russia with Love and Thunderball mingled with one of Moore's best (For Your Eyes Only) and two lesser tier Bonds, Die Another Day and Live and Let Die, put Volume 2 slightly ahead of volume 1. With judicious shopping, you can pick up the 6 titles cheaply. (The 2 volumes were up for a 2 for 1 sale, and a later deal, a "grab-six-Blu-Rays-with-discounts",resulted in each Blu-Ray costing less than US$7.00 each).

Great audio options (5.1 surround and original mono for purists), pristine video, and loaded with extras - make these a worthwhile purchase.

Next wave in March includes Goldfinger, Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough, Diamonds are Forever, License to Kill and The Spy Who Loved Me. I'd intended to get just a handful of favorites, but I can see that they are too good to pass up.


James Bond, the best it's ever been    December 22, 2008
Eric M. Hixson (Shawnee, KS USA)
I absolutely recommend this product for any and all James Bond fans out there. The video is staggering and the audio is equally impressive. "Dr. No" and "From Russia with Love" will blow your mind. A person with no knowledge of the films could not tell you they are nearly a half century old. My only complaint are the titles they chose for this first wave. I really like "For Your Eyes Only" and "Thunderball", but some of the others are weaker films in the series, but if you're a Bond fan this is a must-own for the video and audio upgrades alone.
