Rating: - A Showcase Blu-ray Release, may get 2 movie tickets
[I do not know if everyone is going to get this promotion but my 6-pack which included Vol. 1 came with a 'free tickets' promo through Dec. 31. As you remove the wrapper, you will notice a sticker that announces the promotion. Do NOT trash the wrapper because the web site and the code you need are actually on the back of that sticker. Once you get to the site and enter the code, you will be asked for a name and email address and some other items. Then, you are presented with a page that you must print and take it to the movie theater and it is good for two free Quantum of Solace tickets. On the Six-pack I got two of these, or 4 tickets and I took the whole family to the movies and 4 of the tickets were free.]
Let me first state that I was completely unaware of the problems with playing these movies until I browsed through the Amazon reviews. It is disturbing to constantly hear of people who paid good money for their expensive players not being able to fully enjoy movies that are expected to play on them. However, I have not experienced any problems playing a Bluray movie ever and this review is only discussing my personal experience with this specific package.

Rating: - Most incredible restoration I have ever seen!
I have seen a lot of great looking blu-ray disks, but never movies this old. For Your Eyes Only was the first Bond movie I saw in the theater and it did not look or sound near as good as this blu ray edition plays in my home theater. At times Thunderball looks almost 3D. This is outstanding for a movie that is 40 years old. I certainly feel for all those who are having problems with the disks. I have had several blu ray disks, including these, that would not play on my Panasonic. However, as before, I downloaded new software and they worked just fine. Hopefully the software issues for everyone else can be resolved, because these restorations are the best money I have ever spent on blu ray!
Rating: - BE AWARE OF THE PACKAGING!
These compatability issues, though iritating, are a format liability issue that will hopefully end soon. I am not sure why continuing to update would be necessary indefinitely. What I really don't like about this set is that the packaging itself presents problems if you someday hope to have a nice, clean, uniform Bond set someday. There are no hardcases for individual disks like the old DVD Bond collections. The outer case is kinda cool with slipcase, sorta fake leather texture and a nice multi-layer look into a pipe with a bond figure. However, once you open up the booklets, the holder for the discs is very cheap with just a foam knob pasted to the cardboard itself which will undoubtedly fall off over time. What one also must understand is that there are at least one or two bond films not licenced through the same studio so you are guaranteed that you will not be able to collect all the films in a similar set. The packaging will be simple blu cases on those most likely. Depending on your preferences, you should just go with the single cases to start with. For a short time after the release, you are going to get those free movie tickets(QOS)on each box anyway as long as you buy from a reputable dealer.
Rating: - Nothing but problems
Like other reviewers I too bought this item expecting to relive some great Bond moments in high-def. The unfortunate fact is they are poorly packaged - in a small leather book style binder that doesn't secure the discs very well. I also had poor compatibility issue with my Dell Studio Hybrid. Only 1 of the 3 discs played. I went to Fox's support website, emailed their customer support and got a lackluster response: Send us back all your discs and receipt (at your cost) and we'll send them back (hopefully fixed). If you're going to bound this item I would advise buying it locally so you'll know immediately if you need to return it. I did, and fortunately I'm not going to have to deal with Fox. I'll either buy them individually or wait until they've worked out the issues with these discs.
Rating: - Poor packaging
This review is not based on the movie itself or the quality of the Blu Ray disk. Rather it is a warning to those considering buying this multipack of the absolutely horrible packaging of this expensive set. My three pack arrived today and I just open the box and was horrified at the package. I have purchased many multi packs of movies/TV shows and every other time the disks were held on a separate page in a plastic reinforced page with a plastic spindle in the middle. This set came in a "book style "package with a foam rubber type spindle to hold the disk in place. Well on disk two "From Russia With love" the foam spindle was missing!! The disk had bounced around so much it was scratched and looked like an old scratched disk !!!! Regarding disks one and three the foam spindles were half torn off and surely after one play the foam spindle will certainly fall off. Disgraceful - A pox on MGM.
