    It is the greatest presentation ever!!!!
    The quality is outstanding-and this time round, you can really get a feel for the guys and personalities involved. The special features are great as well-and I am still laughing at Damian Lewis' real accent (He plays Major Winters BTW)-he is so very English!!!! :D

    I highly recommend it as to be shot to the top of everyone's "Must Have DVDs" list...

    Has anyone seen this series on a wide screen TV yet? I did and somehow it seems to take something away from the experience. The distinct ( I feel) "feel" of these series and SPR is gone. The films/series look like it is taped on video...it doesn't look like film anymore....Like I am watching a well made home video....I think I can see guys acting more instead of being taking in by the whole story...

    Anybody understand what I am talking about???

    I liked the watching experience better on a 'normal' TV than on a wide screen one, is what I want to say, I guess...

    Im waiting till January 11-12th to pass before I even think of getting serious on buying BoB on DVD--because im waiting to see if my militaria dealer from San Antonio is going to be there and see if he still has a mint Silver Infantry Assault Badge for sale at just $75.00. If not--then im buying the DVDs. :D

    The special features disk is also great-little things really...
    The sense of humour of the old members of E Coy 506th is tremendous...

    I personally like the Nixon Diaries and the Making of Band of Brothers. Both document on how the actors bonded in boot camp and how all the stuff was created. :cool:

    Yeah the 'Nixon' diaries were very entertaining-especially the 'Picture Day' disk...
