Great set with some disappointments.
I could have easily given this 3 stars or 5 stars. I'm excited to own 5 great games of the greatest Giants' season ever, but the disks disappoint somewhat. If they're not going to put out a Blu-ray version, could they at least put out a widescreen version? It's 2008. How many people are still watching 4:3 TV? If you still are, then these DVD's are a 5. My favorite part of the collection is the Super Bowl DVD with Michael Strahan's commentary track. I just watched the whole thing and you get to hear his comments on every single play. This leads to one final disappointment. There is nothing of the post game on here. I mean zero. Manning takes the final snap, and the DVD goes to the credits. Are you kidding me? Bottom line, if you're a Giants' fan, you have to buy this. Just be prepared it will probably leave you wanting more from it.
WOW!
What a great move by the NFL. Finally! I have one problem with this. Everything is going digital in 2009 and the aspect ratio is 1.33 to 1? This should be in widescreen at least if not HD-- What is the NFL thinking? Are you listening? The games were broadcast in HD and the DVD being sold is in Standard? Talk about dropping the ball.
Also, this is listed on the Warner Home Video website at $29.95. Where are you getting a list price of $39.98, Amazon? Are you making up list prices?
Historic Posteason
This set is a must for Giants fans. It follows one of the most historic post-season Super Bowl runs in the NFL. Instead of some retrospective documentary where everybody remembers the days of wine and roses, you get every play of every post-season game including the Super Bowl and the final game of the regular season against New England, a preview of the eventual Super Bowl match up that went in a slightly different direction.
