Product Description
MGM James Bond Blu-ray Collection Volume One: Die Another Day / Live And Let Die / Dr. No (Widescreen, Ultimate Edition) The "James Bond Blu-ray Collection Volume One" includes the Ultimate Editions of "Die Another Day", "Live And Let Die" and "Dr. No". "Die Another Day": When his top-secret missionis sabotaged, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) finds himself captured by the enemy, abandoned by MI6 andstripped of his 00-license. Determined to get revenge, Bond goes head-to-head with a sultry spy (Oscar(R) winner Halle Berry), a frosty agent (Rosamund Pike) and a shadowy billionaire (Toby Stephens)whose business is diamonds...but whose secret is a diabolical weapon that could bring the world to its knees! Bristling with excitement and bursting with explosive special effects, "Die Another Day" is a adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride with "stunts and non-stop action that will astonish you" (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV). "Live And Let Die": Roger Moore's debut as James Bond takes him in pursuit of a voodoo-worshiping underworld drug czar who leads him from Harlem to New Orleans to the exotic Caribbean. Jane Seymour also stars. "Dr. No": In the first "James Bond" spy classic, Sean Connery is the ever-suave and fearless secret Agent 007 on a mission in Jamaica to thwart a fanatical scientist's world-threatening scheme.

 Excellent Quality March 14, 2009
OceanSpace (CA, United States)
I love the blu-ray format, however I do not want to pay full price for them, so I patiently wait until they go on sale and I'd say these discs are worth the wait. Thanks to my new TV: Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color, the picture is perfect. It's really nice to see the older movies with such quality and color enhancement and makes the experience more enjoyable. I admit I have not watched all three movies on blu-ray yet, but I am looking forward it it. The box is very sleek and looks nice on the shelf with a plastic slip cover. I am excited to purchase the next volumes.
Dr. No Playback Problems January 18, 2009
Luca (Greensboro, NC USA)
I have a Samsung 1200 Blu-Ray player, a Samsung 1400 Blu-Ray player, and a PS3. Dr. No would not play in the recently updated (12-2008) Samsung 1400. All of the other movies seem to play fine in all machines. The picture quality is fantastic and sound will impress if you have a good surround sound system. I plan to order James Bond Blu-Ray collection when it is released.
 Great quality, dreadful packaging January 2, 2009

As some others have written, I'm giving this collectors edition 1 star simply because of the packaging. Video quality: 5 stars; Packaging quality: -5 stars.
Foam spindles holding the discs in? Really? It is unbelievable that people make money to think this stuff up. The first time you take a disc out, you'll likely rip the foam right off (if the foam hasn't been ripped off in shipping already, and the disc is floating around free in the package). Solution: superglue the ripped foam back to the cardboard; just make sure you let the stuff dry before you put the disc back in.
The quality of the older bond movies is amazing on blu-ray, so on that note they did a good job. Still, I can't get past the complete invalidation of the entire experience of a collectors package by using these ridiculous foam disc holders.
Remember kids, plastic makes it possible. Foam is used to wrap pipes and cushion objects, not hold blu-rays to a cardboard container. So, if you're willing to try the superglue method, or you're okay with tossing the package, go for it. Otherwise, you might want to look at the individuals.
On a side note, as I was writing the same review for each of the two volumes, I noticed some writing of incompatibility issues. For what it's worth, I've had none and am playing these on a PS3.

The person that recieved this gift loved it and is very excited to watch the videos. It is a good sampling of the James Bond series.
Looking for honest feedback from James Bond Blu-ray collection owners December 15, 2008

My opinion should be considered neutral to this rating system as I do not own this collection.
Are these movies original theatrical versions?
As a bond fan, I would very much like to relive these classics and view them as they were originally intended. After upgrading my VHS collection to DVD, I was highly disappointed that the original versions had been edited. One that will always standout from my childhood is the theatrical version of "Live and Let Die". I found the sheriff swearing up a storm to be hilarious and the racial references and barriers crossed monumental for that time.
So is this Blu ray collection authentic, worth my time and money or just another glorified edited TV version?
