 Great remastering, very poor packaging January 31, 2009

I agree wholeheartedly with the poor marks for packaging. It's odd really, they probably spent an incredible amount of money on the clean up and archiving to HD, yet the packaging is the cheapest I've ever seen for movies. Those foam tabs are really the worst - half of them were broken or came unglued. When I opened up the first volume, two disks just fell to the floor. Quality. Not to mention that the package detail on the inside covers is minimal. They might as well have saved an extra dollar on packaging and just put them in shrink-wrapped jewel cases.
The one saving grace here for you readers who are considering buying these volumes, is that the price on Amazon is way lower than buying at stores. Had I not made an impulse buy and got these for $45 instead of $75, I'd feel better. Then again, I did use gift cards. ;-P
Otherwise, the actual movies are incredible... the clean up really brings the older Bond films to life and the color and detail really pop. On my 46" 1080p they look fantastic! Audio is of course likewise excellent. commentary and extras are pretty informative as well.
Packaging drops this from a 5 to 4 star rating IMO. All in all though, the movies are the product and they are excellent.
 I love the packaging January 25, 2009

While these aren't exactly great movies, they are lots of fun and come in gorgeous special packaging: a high quality, heavy duty cardboard box with irredescent gold front. Inside is an embossed black book with a double page opening for each movie disc including full details of the many special features included. The foam centres make it much easier to get the disc out than the usual plastic spindles. Unlike some other reviewers, I've had no trouble playing the discs on my panasonic player. Looking forward to Volume Three very much.
 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.
Will Not Play on Many Blu-Ray Players December 18, 2008

When it works, the picture quality is great. However, I have experienced issues getting the movie to play at all. I have now tried the discs on three different blu-ray players. They worked great with one player (unfortunately not mine) but could not get past the menu on the other two. This issue has been raised in other comments and I wish I had paid more attention before purchasing.
James Bond Blu Ray Volume 2 December 17, 2008

First and probably last blu ray purchase. I Bought a HP laptop with blu ray for playing blu ray on trips and its my only player. This Bond collection was my first blu ray purchase. multiple updates of software later I still can only play 2 out of 3 of the discs. For your eyes only. Gives me a fbi warning and a commentary warning and goes to black. On top of that my home hd tv is not supported because it doesn't have hdcp? I paid to much for my home tv to replace it just for a new media format. I am sticking with DVD, and online services.
