Disappointing release from Warner
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.
This was a highly anticipated release seeing how Warner was releasing 5 Steeler Super Bowls complete and uncut. First of all, the games are not complete. To speed up the game they cut a lot of the in between play commentary and sideline camera work. Maybe a small detail to some, but I see it as false advertisement. Second of all, the quality on these is downright shameful. I have recorded better quality from VHS of televised programs from the late 70's than these. It looks as if they transferred the games from a really bad VHS recording. Don't be fooled by the pristine crystal clear pictures of the various games on the DVD cover and back because what you get inside on the discs is horrible. Even the 5th superbowl quality is not what you would expect from something that was just recording in 2005. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I watched these games when they originally aired and the quality of the games back then wasn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, I understand about deterioration of film over time, but these are ridiculous. If you are a die hard Steeler fan like myself then these recordings might be of interest, otherwise I would highly recommend saving your money and look on Ebay or for someone that might have the original recorded games which I am sure will have better quality than this. Warner definitely dropped the ball on this release. Too bad. Definitely not worth the money.
