DVD Reviews of The Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's Edition
DVD Review: Great buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD set as a present. It came in new condition and was exactly what I expected. The person I bought it for loves it and has been watching last years games along with this year's World Series. DVD Review: It doesn't get any better for Phillies Phans!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great package. For Phillies Phans it just cannot get any better, except for a two-peat. One recommendation is to shut off McCarver and Buck. They are really annoying and NEVER stop the yada yada yada. By the fifth game you won't be sure who is winning the series. Listen to the Phillies broadcast for true bliss. Now its time to wait for Phillies 2009 World Series Collector's Edition.The Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's EditionDVD Review: A Wonderful Walk Down Memory Lane - Well Done!
Summary: 5 Stars
As the pricing on this started to dip from the initial offering, Harry The K died while preparing for a 2009 game broadcast in Washington. I ordered this set although I already owned the single disk World Series summary.
The set is great, starting with the season highlights disk and going through all the games, beginning with the last games of the NLCS. Having the choice of which broadcasters to listen to during viewing is a nice option that keeps the viewing fresh. And it's surprising how quickly the memory muddles things up, like who got what hit when. I'm sure that is due to how stressful it was to watch the first time, but it's a real joy to watch for a life-long Phillies fan.
DVD Review: GO PHILLIES!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent summary of the Phillies 2008 World Series victory. It is especially wonderful now that Harry Kalas has passed. I can hear his voice any time I want by playing these DVDs. Can't beat that.DVD Review: Um... where's the blu-ray version?
Summary: 4 Stars
this set is nice and all, but i paid 5 grand to watch and rewatch this in HD. i want the whole thing on Blu-ray, cause my HD Tivo is filled! ugh
Description of The Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's Edition
Every complete game from the 2008 World Series?? will be available in time for the holidays for every fan to own in this one-of-a-kind collector's set. Each definitive 2008 World Series game is presented uncut in this action-packed 8-DVD set, preserving the complete, unedited footage of every must-have 2008 World Series game and key playoff game??"plus exclusive celebratory footage and interviews.The Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's Edition begins where it should, with the final games in the Phillies' pre-World Series, post-season contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's exciting to revisit the Phillies' comeback in the eighth inning of game four, when they were down 5 to 3 but rallied on home runs by Shane Victorino and Matt Stairs. Watching winning pitcher Cole Hamels shut down the Dodgers in game five demonstrates why he was named series MVP. Moving on to the Phillies' domination over the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series, this box set neatly packages each game on its own disc in a plastic case covered in vital information: player statistics, the temperature during the game, stadium attendance, etc. Additionally, each disc includes the option to listen to alternative broadcasts of a game, one from the Phillies Radio Network, the other from the Rays' equivalent.
All of the series' highlights are here, including the seven innings that Hamels pitched in game one, allowing only two runs. Game two is still painful to watch, even in retrospect, for Phillies' fans, as the Rays tie the series with the help of starting pitcher James Shields, who gives up no runs in five-and-a-half innings. As everyone knows, the Phillies sweep the next three games, struggling for a win in game three as the teams duke it out on offense. The drama of the 2008 World Series, of course, came with game five, when the Phillies and the Rays faced the same opponent: Philadelphia rain. It's great fun viewing again the protracted question of what to do with a field that was becoming laughable in its muddy, watery condition. The decision to suspend the contest at the bottom of the sixth inning still conveys its historic impact, i.e., the fact that no World Series game had ever been called off while in session. Add to that the excitement, two days later, of picking up where everything left off, both teams playing those final innings with great energy and competition, and you can't beat this box set. A special, bonus DVD includes a number of highlights from the entire series. --Tom Keogh
