Yes, its true, all the highlights and features of this 2 dvd set is from the Super Bowl Collection series and there isn't any new video footage. If you own the Super Bowl XI-XX and the Super Bowl XXI-XXX volumes of the Collection, you may not "need" this set, because the 49ers won Super Bowls (XVI, XIX, XXIII & XXIV) which are contained in those volumes. And, yes, yes, NFL films could have put more into this set with regards to additional footage. That being said, 49ers fans will love this set because it contains those highlights and features that pertain to only the 49ers championship years and, let's face it, it may be a while before the 49ers ever return to those glory days. Due to the present state of the club, 49ers fans will be dreary for a while, but they can always relive the glory of the past in this set. These dvds will stir up a lot of good memories of one of the most charismatic teams to ever dominate the NFL. Besides the NFL years in review, it's all here: the Walsh coaching influence on the NFL, the Montana magic, the phenomenal Jerry Rice, etc. Since the 49ers were the first team to win five Super Bowls, this dvd set contains plenty of footage to capture the excitement and is worth the money. Recommended.

I bought this hoping it would really go into detail about each of the 5 49er Superbowls but they really did not get into the the games that much. They just showed highlights of what happened in the season of the year they went to the Superbowls and just highlights of the game itself. There is special features of some players like Young and Rice but they are just interviews from 1999 and 1996 that originally aired on ESPN years ago. Nothing new is on here just old NFL Films shows that they made for ESPN. Very disappointed. They most definitely could have gone into more detail on each game. Terrible.

I bought this hoping that I would get to see highlights of each of the five years the 49ers won the super bowl instead they showed highlights of other teams seasons and not the 49ers like I wanted. It was just a general over view of each season and even had segaments talking about other teams and not the 49ers. I did think that the highlights of the super bowls were very good and even the interviews of some of the players were very good.

This DVD was underimpressive. It recounted the regular seasons of teams that didn't make the playoffs but not for the 49ers. The coverage for the 1981 season and playoffs was especially lackluster. The only real decent part of the DVD was the coverage of the actual superbowls. That part was in depth. Also, the cover blurb is a bit misleading in that I thought there was going to be actual game footage with announcers and everything. All it had was highlights and a narrator.

This is the worst compilation I have ever seen, besides the fact that the Niners won 5 Superbowls. There are more highlights of other teams than the Niners. What happens to all the Niners' highlights? You would think they would include highlights of each of their season leading up to the Superbowl.

Pro: You cannot change history. The Niners went to five and won all five Superbowls.
Cons: Poor picture quality (like it came from the 70's), confusing highlights back and forth of other teams, poor narrating. Just a very poor compilation without proper transition and cohesiveness.

You should skip this and spend $24 and buy "America Game Superbowl Champions - Forty Niners". You will enjoy that series a lot more. Nothing but Niners highlights, superb picture quality, and narrated by ex-players themselves with their actual stories and experience with each of their Superbowl season.

4ever 9ers Faithful.

If you love football strategy, good passing game then watching any highlights of the 80's and early 90's San Francisco 49ers is great.
I wish some one would make Steve Sabol of NFL Films to knock it off with the close up shots. That's all his highlights ever are. I would like to be able to see the formations and the whole play. Especially from a historical offense the 49ers had with Joe Montana and Steve Young.

I bought this collection expecting to see season and championship highlights of the FORTY NINERS, not other teams. None of the season highlights have been about San Francisco. The team was only included in the Super Bowl highlights, which was minimal. I am not at all impressed with a collection that should focus solely on the Forty Niners and their road to five Super Bowl victories, but barely has any actual highlights of them. I would not waste your money... you could see the same Super Bowl highlights on Hulu.

Product was perfect I knew it excisted but was hard to find I am a loyal SF fan starting 1969 hopefully they will be back to being competative soon but will watch anyway all the glory years together watch it a bunch go niners

This is a fine collection of Superbowl games, however because it contains special features about Joe, Steve, and Jerry it is better described as the BEST collection. Now we need a DVD that is focused on #80 solely.

What a great opportunity to see one of the greatest sports phenomenons in all Football history. Never again will we see 49er teams with such magic and such amazing players. These DVD's are a reminder of how far the 49er franchise has fallen from grace. All 49er fans need this set.
