3.0 out of 5 stars Greatest SF Games ??, July 29, 2009

This review is from: NFL: San Francisco 49ers - 5 Greatest Games: Super Bowl Victories (DVD)

It's good for 49er fans to get a release in this series, but as many reviewers have already noted, limiting the set to the 5 Super Bowl wins is a shame. With the exception of Super Bowl 23, none of the SF Super Bowls really were great games in terms of being close or exciting games, and even SB 23 was pretty dull until the 4th quarter. There are a number of truly great SF games that could have been added to easily fill out a 10 game set (The Catch I and II games, the 1989 Montana comeback win in Philly, and the 2002 playoff comeback vs. the Giants, to name just a few), as NFL Films has done for some other teams.

Perhaps it is just my copy, but the the picture and audio quality of the SB 19 disc is poor. The color is washed out and the sound is muted. The copy of the game that has generally circulated among game traders is superior, and I would recommend that if you have that one already, you may want to retain it. The quality of the other discs are much better, although the color on the SB 24 recording seems to be a little dark.

Also, if you have personal recordings of these games that include pre and/or post games shows that you want to keep, you should hang on to those recordings. The discs do not include any pre or post game materials, not even the well known farewell interview with Bill Walsh after SB 23. Each game has been edited to remove some huddles and insignificant plays so as stay under 2 hours (apparently to fit on a single dvd without further compressing the quality of the recordings).

All in all, as a 49er fan/collector, it's nice to get this set, but it is a lot less than it could have been - It doesn't seem like NFL Films put much effort into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 49ers snubbed again!, June 30, 2009

I agree with the other reviews. While this is a long over due set. It is hardly complete.I mean here where have the team of the decade rewarded with just a 5 disc set.The 49ers won their first Super Bowl in 1981 and sustained their greatness for many many years after. Even being the first team to win 19 games in a season. But the bears get the full season package and i think they didn't even make the playoffs the following season. Then it was Walsh who put a guard in the backfield first but all you here is the bears and fridge. What is it with you people. And the Eagles,winners of uh, oh yeah no Super Bowls but lets give them a 10 disc set. While i will enjoy this set I am disapointed in how the NFL markets their game. The 49ers deserve to be represented the same way they have always represented the NFL. With class.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only 5 Games for the Niners??, August 17, 2009

While I love a Super Bowl set, how can they shortchange the Niners--and consumers--like this? The SAME PRICE for 1/2 the games that other, less accomplished teams get to have featured? I would love to hear the explanation for that one....
