DVD Reviews of Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series CollectionDVD Review: POOR disc quality / Awesome TV series Summary: 1 StarsI have watched 2 seasons and already found 3 discs only suitable for coasters. I have tried a regular dvd player, and a PC DVD drive and neither can error correct enough to not skip/pause or freeze. The cardboard sleeves the discs are in are overlapped and probably the cause of the destruction of the discs. The savings are not worth it!
Regardless of the faulty packaging, I am a huge fan of Stargate and Richard Dean Anderson. I would definitely recommend this tv series to any sci-fi fan.
DVD Review: Amazing show, amazing collection! Summary: 5 StarsI purchased this set last December when I was lucky enough to get it at just $100, making each season roughly $10 each. That said, I'm on disc 5 of season 9 (as of today) and I have not encountered a single problem with any of the discs as others seem to mention. The set itself keeps the discs in slots rather than the jewel case type option many complete series sets opt for but it still is a fine package. For a 54 disc set, it is positioned to take minimal space on a shelf and is sturdy. the front is beautiful with an active Stargate, the event horizon on the box looks almost real, not like a picture, which I find very cool.
As for the show itself, it is one of my favorites. It's a great blend of Action, Drama and Sci-Fi with great small Comedic aspects via the characters and the sometimes hilarious situations they get into. I just got into Stargate: Atlantis, as well and love it, too. Not every single episode of SG-1 is great but the good far outweigh the bad. If you were ever interested in it now is the time to buy it and enjoy it for life.
DVD Review: Great Series - Poor packaging Summary: 4 StarsOdds are if you're reading the reviews, you already know if you like the TV series. I will comment on the packaging though.
The box comes with two cardboard volumes containing the 50+ discs.
Step 1. Keep the box upright at all times. This is the only way to ensure that none of the discs will slide out of their holder and bounce around inside the box. As long as the box is kept upright during shipment, your discs will be fine. I'll let you figure out what the probability is of that really happening.
Step 2. Carefully remove all the DVD's and put them in a large CD/DVD wallet.
Step 3. Hide the shame of a poorly planned box in the back of a closet or an attic.
3 or 4 of my discs looked like rental discs from sliding around in the box, but fortunately they all played fine. The labeling seemed a bit odd, though. As I stated earlier, there are two volumes contained within the box. Then why are the volume numbers printed on the discs not in order. Even more curious is that some of the discs are labeled volume 3. Not that this matters in of itself, but it screams "enough talk, this stuff is due out now. Just use that design over there and lets get it done."
Personally, if the DVD makers are reading this review, just stack the DVD's on a spindle and call it done. It'll be much cheaper, take up less space, and none of the discs will be damaged in the process.
DVD Review: Disgraceful Packaging Summary: 1 StarsI decided to take a risk buying this as some reviewers had stated that they had received their box sets in excellent condition. Well, I will never take such a risk again. Many of the discs had not only been damaged badly in transit, but also had severe manufacturing scratches, as if the discs had spun out of control and created circular scars on the discs.
I have returned the box set back to Amazon and await my refund.
Avoid this.
DVD Review: Just Wonderful!! Summary: 5 StarsI was hesitant to buy this because of all the negative reviews but went ahead anyways and I'm glad I did. My shipment came well packed and in great shape. I've watched about 10 of the 54 disc and I'm hooked. Stargate SG1 with no commercials, and some nudity and foul language which was edited out of the TV viewing, plus extra features. What I love is the continuity of owning the complete series. The 112 episodes have a continuity in the story line that goes from one episode to the next and I can`t wait to get home to watch a couple more episodes that pick up from the previous ones I`ve watched. It`s just wonderful. I thought I'd seen all of the episodes on TV but evidently I have not. When I get thru all 112 episodes, which will probably take a few months, I'll probably watch the special features on many of the disc and then start from Episode 1 Season 1 and view the 112 episodes all over again; it's that good!!
P.S. Look at the 260 Reviews Breakdown in the upper left corner of this page; the vast majority give 5 stars, but that is not to say your experience may be different.
