NFL- New York Giants - The Road to Super Bowl XLII

Complete original broadcasts of all four playoff games (on four separate DVDs) including Super Bowl 42! My only disappointment is the lack of post game coverage at the Super Bowl. Adding the trophy presentation and celebrations would have made a perfect package!

as a Giants fan from 1959, i saw my first Gaints game in yankee stadium in 1962 vs the redskins ..... after seeing ALL their games during an 18 year test of a fan from 1964 - 1982, when they were more than terrible, this DVD has captured their magical, scintillating and simply incredible run to the NFL championship culminating with a defeat of the previously unbeaten New Englan Patriots !!!!!!!!! with the NFL being what it is, a parity laced league, there is the real posibility that the Giants will not return to the super bowl for years to come ! that's ok ! this championship will last a lifetime and now you can relive it anytime you want ! go big blue , prove me wrong and let's do it again !!!!!!!!

The contents of this product were not clear so let me tell you that this collection starts with the last game of the season loss to the Patriots, has each playoff game and the Super Bowl complete w/o commercials. This is better than I hoped for at a great price. A must for diehard NYG fans.

Just bought this today, and it is worth every penny spent. I'm not a huge football fan, but these 5 games have not only made a Giants fan, but also a football fan as well. The game against Green Bay being my personal favorite. My only complaint is that I would like to have seen the pregame and postgame comments. But otherwise I highly recommend this for any football, GIants, or sports fan. Each game is full of emotion and smashmouth football

Pros:

This is a great product if you're looking to have the last regular season game, all the playoff games, and the super bowl, then this is the DVD set for you!

Cons:

There are a few reasons why I am VERY disappointed in this product...

1) It has not been released in Hi Definition Blu-Ray, which in this day in age is rediculous. Especially since the game was originally produced and broadcast in HD!

2) On the DVD's, this format is 4:3 (Standard Definition). I could see if they released this set on DVD with the format being 16:9 so that a Blu-Ray player or HDTV set could upscale it properly to fill the screen. With this DVD set being in 4:3, you'll still have the black bars on the sides.

3) Quality...Since I'm in the television industry, maybe I'm more picky than most, but when I buy a DVD set like this...I expect quality. Again, I am very disappointed. You can tell that the games were recorded in a deck because you can see the VITC data at the top of the screen...(VITC=Vertical Interval Time Code)...which is rediculous. The other thing is that since a standard movie on DVD is approximately 2 hours long and an NFL game is 3 - 4 hours long, the makers of this DVD set obviously had to compress the video beyond belief to make each game fit on a single DVD. Again, this compromised the quality of the video.

4) The team introduction videos were cut out of the DVD that has the Super Bowl on it. It only shows the teams taking the field at the beginning. Additionally, the half time show was not included on the Super Bowl DVD either.
