(B. J. McCroskey, 2009-10-10) An all-time great series! Being on blu-ray only makes it better. Love the feature where the actual members of Easy Company give commentary. Just Awesome!
(M. Tran, 2009-10-08) Hi-def makes a big difference. I saw the marathon on regular cable TV and Blu-ray is definitely a lot better. Some scenes look like you're looking through a window or you're right there in the action. I don't buy a lot of DVDs but this def is worth the collection.
(Steaven Meyer, 2009-10-07) This is the first boxed set I purchased in Blu-ray and it is worth every penny. Picture is amazing and sound quality is great. However, I wish they would have used normal single disk holders as the box is really big and doesn't hold all of the movies very well. It also got a little banged up in shipping but didn't affect the movies, so I didn't care.
(colombian bboy, 2009-10-05) Band of Brothers is a true story told by the survivors of easy company of the 101st airborne during World War 2. It begins in boot camp, and it spans all the way to the end of war, when the men hear about Japan's surrender. This blu-ray version has great picture, it almost has the same quality as planet earth but what this blu-ray version of the series shines in, is the sound. Mind you, I never owned the dvd version but I have never heard such sound quality from any other dvd/blu-ray I own. The explosions sound very real as does the bullet whizzing too. Also, in the 1-2 parts when the troopers are in the c47 planes, it sounds just like you're in the airplane together with them. Overall this series has it all for the action/war film fanatic. Even though it has great picture/sound quality, I wouldn't recommend if you own the dvd version already. However, if you saw it on tv, or you've never seen it but you like action films or war movies, then this is definitely a must have. The price is also a steal since I bet you won't find another blu-ray set (of such quality) of 6 discs for [...].
(Michael D. Oconnell, 2009-10-04) Great show.. if you havent seen it then check it out.. its kind of like an extension of Saving Private Ryan.. only much deeper. The only drawback I see with this set is its only 2 episodes per disk, and you have to sit thru all the copyright nonsense every 2 hours without being able to fast forward thru it... and that really is the ONLY issue. If your thinking about it, the just do it! Get it!
