Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my Husband for Christmas. He loved it. We had just gotten a Blu-Ray player, and the picture quality of the Blu-Ray is awsome compared to the regular DVD!DVD Review: excitng replay of wonderful world series
Summary: 5 Stars
as a long time phillie fan; the whole season was a dream come true, and to have it chronicled for all time in blueray is just icing on the cake!DVD Review: Great DVD for baseball fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Great DVD especially if you are a Phillies fan. Finally a championship in Philadelphia after 25 years.DVD Review: A must for Phillies fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I suspect that the Blu-ray quality will not deliver the scintillating detail that we blu-ray users can afford to be picky about, but the content is wonderful. You will watch this one over again. And over. And the best part is that if you have a friend who is a Mets fan, you can send him/her one so they can enjoy it too. DVD Review: Marginally Better than Standard DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
This review only covers the technical aspects of the Blu-Ray version of the 2008 World Series film. As a die hard Phillies fan, the content is excellent, and any Phils fan already knows that. And I'm sure that most fans already bought the standard DVD which came out last month, so for those who are looking for a high definition upgrade, take it with a grain of salt.
The video is 1080i AVC, but the problem really lies in the fact that only about half of the source material is hi-def to begin with. So while most of the interviews and actual World Series footage look generally good, a good amount of it (I'd say about 60%) looks no different than the standard DVD. And it's also painfully obvious that much of the footage that IS in hi-def was originally 720p. Also of note, the bonus features are 480p. I was underwhelmed by the video quality, and those looking for a nice 1080p boost will be disappointed.
On the audio front, we get a PCM 5.1 Lossless track. Again, the interviews sound crisp, but everything else doesn't sound lossless at all.
All in all, if you have a Blu-Ray player, I still say go for it. Just don't expect a big difference.
