DVD Reviews of The Philadelphia Phillies 2008 World Series Collector's Edition

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

DVD Review: 2008 World Champions! (that's all you need to know)
Summary: 5 Stars

Great set of DVDs; with the use of sound bites from Phillies Broadcasters. It all came shipped in great condition and its a preservation of baseball history.

DVD Review: Perfect, just what I was looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars

My family bought me the "other" World Series DVD at first, but 20 bucks for 2 hours of clips? No sir, returned it, got this. Why pay 20 for 2 hours when you can pay 60 for EVERYTHING. Hours and hours of gameplay and more. The ability to listen to the Phils announcers while watching the Fox broadcast... brilliant. This is what I was looking for, and A&E delivered.

DVD Review: good
Summary: 4 Stars

got it for my bf for xmas. he loves it. it only looks good on an HD tv though

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
