Movies -5 stars, Packing - unacceptable
by dynamo (Pennsylvania, USA)
It is unfortunate that such poor packing can potentially damage DVDs. It almost falls apart when you even look at it. You should not send DVDs/CDs this way, and it's not Amazon's fault, they did their best.

If you get them to play, the movies are excellent
by Torrey Pines (Bethesda, MD USA)
You've read (or are about to read) about the ridiculous foam holder for the discs and the high quality of the movies. I just tried two of the three movies on two different Blu-ray players in my house that play every Blu-ray I throw at them, except for the two Bond movies from this collection. One is a high-end Panasonic and the other a PS3. The PS3 at least got to the menu. But when I selected "Mission" to start the movie, the PS3 tried to play the movie but returned to the top-level menu. I then installed the latest update on the PS3 (V. 3.01) that was just released and now the two movies play. It seems it takes the latest firmware update to ensure that ALL (some do play, others don't) will play in a PS3 player. I don't know if once I update the Panasonic the movie will play. Clearly there is an encoding error. It takes smart enough firmware to decode the faultily encoded discs. A total pain in the butt and should have been unnecessary.
5/5
Excellent Quality
by OceanSpace (CA, United States)
I love the blu-ray format, however I do not want to pay full price for them, so I patiently wait until they go on sale and I'd say these discs are worth the wait. Thanks to my new TV: Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color, the picture is perfect. It's really nice to see the older movies with such quality and color enhancement and makes the experience more enjoyable. I admit I have not watched all three movies on blu-ray yet, but I am looking forward it it. The box is very sleek and looks nice on the shelf with a plastic slip cover. I am excited to purchase the next volumes.
5/5
Dr. No Playback Problems
by Luca (Greensboro, NC USA)
I have a Samsung 1200 Blu-Ray player, a Samsung 1400 Blu-Ray player, and a PS3. Dr. No would not play in the recently updated (12-2008) Samsung 1400. All of the other movies seem to play fine in all machines. The picture quality is fantastic and sound will impress if you have a good surround sound system. I plan to order James Bond Blu-Ray collection when it is released.
1/5
Great quality, dreadful packaging
by 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.
On a side note, as I was writing the same review for each of the two volumes, I noticed some writing of incompatibility issues. For what it's worth, I've had none and am playing these on a PS3.
