BLUE RAY BOND DISC PROBLEMS Mar 24, 2009 Blue Ray BOND problems are receiving attention.I am sharing this information as a lay person, not a trained tech. I have a Sony Bravia TV(08),SONY Blue Ray Disc Player BDP-S350(08). ONLY The Bond BR disc is hanging up. I hope it is obvious that the Bond discs are released with a nasty problem. NOT EACH ONE, IT IS SELECTIVE. The dominant problem is that is hangs up when given a command to select options, sometimes during the main play, and NOTHING will release this problem...ONLY PULL THE AC PLUG, THEN WHILE RECONNECTING, HOLD THE POWER ON BUTTON ON THE BLUE PLAYER WHILE INSERTING THE AC PLUG.This information is direct from tech support with Sony. Sony tech reports that they are receiving this particular request (Bond) in addition to other BR discs. No way of knowing if this will be a continuing problem common to BR production. I do not consider myself a "techie". I will always call for the manufacturer's tech support rather than attempt to adjust on my own. The really sad part of this is that the BOND stories on Blue Ray would make Flemming smile. I read Ian Flemming's "Bond" as they were written. The message here is ....the pleasure received watching Bond in Blue Ray is worthwhile. I hope someone will provide reasonable adjustments for us when this nasty problem occurs. PJToday.
Bond on Blu-Ray: Fixing problems, and is it worth it? Feb 12, 2009 I too had a problem playing the bond blu-ray discs on my blu-ray player (I own the Samsung BD-P1500). I rented From Russia With Love from netflix; I too was skeptical as to how much better the blu-rays would look compared with the Ultimate Edition dvds (all I which I had previously purchased). The initial problem was that the player kept getting stuck on the main menu; no matter what you would select, it would always take you right back to it. However, after downloading and loading a firmware update, the disc played perfectly. And I am happy to report that I was more than impressed with the quality. I thought the Ultimate Edition dvds were amazing, but the blu-rays have raised the bar for all blu-ray releases, as far as I am concerned. After being disappointed with the lackluster quality of such high profile releases such as The Godfather, or the Blade Runner Final Cut, (still great but not much greater than the dvd release, which in itself seemed light years ahead of the previous effort on dvd) I couldn't be more pleased. Night scenes are not the least bit grey or hazy; crisp blacks all around, and the colors just pop! I haven't seen such detail in the faces of the actors since The Dark Knight blu-ray. I look forward to future Bond releases on Blu-Ray. Kudos to Warner for setting the standard!!!!
Totally worth it! Feb 10, 2009 It is Bond like you've never seen before. Great way to renew the entire collection.

Excellent remasters, poor packaging Feb 01, 2009 I noted this in a review for Vol 2. I keep seeing people either fawning over the packaging, or complaining about pooer quality.
Yes they have slip covers. Plastic slip covers. OK...
Yes they have faux-leather booklets. Very little cover art or information within, and the discs are held in with pieces of foam that are glued to the packaging.
There are several accounts of these foam plugs either breaking/disintegrating or becoming unglued.
In my case, I opened the first Volume and 2 disks fell to the floor.
The actual movies themselves are incredible and very enjoyable. But the packaging is really cheap. I'd give this collection a 5/5 but not with packaging that lets discs fall out when you first open it up and leaves these beautiful movies loose in sub-par packaging.
