Summary: Awesome gift for any guy
Comment: After waiting many months for this series to come out on Blu-Ray, it came out in time for me to purchase it for my father for Christmas. Needless to say, he spent the next 5 days after Christmas watching straight through all 10 episodes. He confided in me that it was one of the best gifts he had ever received. The gripping plot, excellent sound, amazing picture all added up to a worthwhile gift. Highly recommended to just about any history/action buff.

Summary: Excellent and engrossing miniseries
Comment: The program put you in the shoes of these heroic people that helped save our way of life. The series on blu-ray is gorgeous despited the digital treatments in the way it was shot. The 10 parts went by like an single hour. I would hightly recommend to anyone and should be required viewing for any citizen of the US and elsewhere.

Summary: A salute to soldiers everywhere; one of the best on Blu-Ray
Comment: This is, hands-down, one of the best war stories ever made. I've been waiting a long time for this to come to Blu-Ray, and it was worth the wait. With the right TV, the right sound system, mild hearing loss and several irritated neighbors later, you can emerge from some of the scenes shaking and twitchy, as if you'd witnessed it first hand.
I can't express enough how much you walk away from this series respecting these men, what they did, and the entire generation and armed forces. "Wow" is about the best way to put it.
If you have a Blu-Ray player and enjoy military movies, this is the series you're going to be pulling from when you want to leave your friends in awe.
Note to all you guys out there - my wife enjoyed watching this series, and her best friend enjoys watching it with her fiancee. This isn't just a shoot 'em up. There's a lot of drama in here, and some fantastic character build-up. This may be your best shot to get your significant other to watch a war movie with you, and what better one to watch that a series which masterfully articulates the bravery, suffering, sense of duty, and just "doing what needed to be done" of this time period.

Summary: Band of Brothers - Blu-ray
Comment: I had purchased this set originally when it came out and had a little difficulty with one of the discs so I had planned to replace the set at some point. The series itself is the quintessential story of a company of men going from basic training to combat during World War II. The best as far as I'm concerned. When my wife and I recently bought a Blu-ray theater system I decided I might start replacing a few discs but assumed they would probably be just Sci-Fi. I was glad I happen to spot this series while looking through the Blu-ray section. I couldn't beleive how reasonably priced this set was on Amazon. I immediately ordered it and the quality is astounding. You won't believe how real the picture and sound are even though they were remarkable with the original set. It truly looks like there is depth to the picture and if you have surround speakers it will blow you away. Superb quality DVDs with many extras including interviews and commentary by members of Easy Company. Don't miss out on this set if you enjoy dramas and if you have a friend or family member that enjoys war movies, I strongly urge you to get it for them. If you enjoy this be sure to catch "Saving Private Ryan".
