5.0 out of 5 stars It Won't Contain All Playoff Games, But It Will Have All WS Games, January 10, 2006

This review is from: The Chicago White Sox - 2005 World Series Collector's Edition (DVD)

I have found out through some web searching that this set will contain 7 DVDs which will contain the 4 World Series games against the Astros, plus the series clinching games against the Red Sox and the Angels for a total of 6 games. I assume the 7th disc will contain bonus material.

It would have been nice to have all 12 games in the White Sox' run (or at least the 11 victories), since the two clinching playoff games were on the road, but I assume the DVD producers don't think the market justifies such a set given that the World Series had a low viewer rating. But it should be a great addition to a White Sox fan's video library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great production values; a must-have for White Sox fans, March 30, 2006

This review is from: The Chicago White Sox - 2005 World Series Collector's Edition (DVD)

Here's what you get:

- Full coverage of clinching Game 3 vs. Boston in ALDS
- Full coverage of clinching Game 5 vs. Anaheim in ALCS
- All 4 World Series games agains Astros
- Footage of locker room celebration, victory parade, and division clinching win in Detroit

The production values of this set are outstanding; each DVD is individually packaged in a slim DVD case. The outside of the case contains game stats (attendance, length of game, box score, etc.) and trivia, while the inside of the case has game recaps. The DVDs themselves are arranged with every half-inning as a "chapter", so you can browse to the bottom of the 6th against Boston with ease at any time. The packaging and production of the DVDs is first rate.

The only "complaint" that I have is that it really is less intense when you know what's going to happen, but every true Sox fan needs this set; it really blows grainy Tivo footage out of the water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-live the excitement, January 14, 2006

This is a must have for every White Sox fan and for that matter, every baseball fan. The White Sox showed the world what a great team they were in 2005 overcoming skeptics who waited for them to collapse. By winning the WS, the SOX took back the city of Chicago as the most popular and exciting team to watch and are again Chicago's team. This group of players along with Manager Ozzie Guillen won the hearts of baseball fans everywhere.
