    5.0 out of 5 stars A Showcase Blu-ray Release, November 24, 2008

    Let me first state that I was completely unaware of the problems with playing these movies until I browsed through the Amazon reviews. It is disturbing to constantly hear of people who paid good money for their expensive players not being able to fully enjoy movies that are expected to play on them. However, I have not experienced any problems playing a Bluray movie ever and this review is only discussing my personal experience with this specific package.

    _____________________________________________
    THE GOOD:
    - Incredible video quality, better than what the audience saw on release date on some of the older movies.
    - Lots of extras, most of them worth watching or listening to.
    - Beautiful packaging.

    THE NOT SO GOOD:
    - The sound restoration not as good as the video.
    - Some of the 'extras' sections would benefit from a 'play all' option.
    - The boxe could be a bit slimmer.
    - May require upgrades on certain players... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Which Bond is Best? You Decide... in High Def!, November 15, 2008

    There will always be debates on who makes the best Bond, and this trilogy gives you a sampling of three strong contenders spanning 40+ years of Bond: Sean Connery in "Dr. No" - the film that started it all, Roger Moore in his first turn as Bond, "Live and Let Die" and Pierce Brosnan as 007 in "Die Another Day" the final film before the series "re-boot."

    When I put the "Dr. No" Blu-ray Disc into my player for the first time, my jaw hit the floor. The luscious detailed images that appeared on a large 1080p projection screen looked more like a movie made last year than one made in 1962. The main reason the films look so good is that all twenty of the pre-Craig Bond movies were cleaned up and restored with great care by Lowry Digital Images, using the original camera negatives. The first nine films (including "Dr. No" and "Live and Let Die" from this set) were all scanned at a whopping 4K resolution, and the other eleven were re-mastered at full HD 1920x1080 resolution - a...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Poor Packaging: Update, December 15, 2009

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: James Bond Blu-ray Collection: Volume One (Dr. No / Die Another Day / Live and Let Die) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    I was hesitant to purchase this set because of the complaints about poor packaging. However, I just received Vol 1-3 and the packaging is completely professional, with each disc in an individual, hard-plastic case. No `foam' packaging here - I guess MGM responded to the quality complaints.
