Anyone thinking about buying this product has to understand that the superbowl in its entirety is not on this Blu-ray. It is just highlights of the season that is being narrated (telling the story of the saints from the beginning of the season to the end). I gave this a three star because i am a die heart Saints fan. I purchased this Blu-Ray because I wanted to watch the superbowl in its entirety again; as well as years to come.

This Blu-ray is not a bad highlight reel of the saints 2009/2010 season. So, if you are ok with the fact that this is not the actual game, then this is the Blu-ray for you.

This Blu-ray is worth the price! At first, I debated purchasing it because it didn't show the entire Super Bowl but this is better. It tells a great story going game by game with great commentary from Jim Henderson and WWL radio. I was happy when they showed us winning and still a bit upset when they showed the 3 game losing streak. I choked up a bit (again) when they showed Hartley nail the winning FG in the NFC Championship game.

The story is told from a definitively Saints and Who Dat Nation perspective. It's like no one else matters, not even Peyton Manning, he's an after thought (in the film). They do a good job of capturing the spirit of the Saints, season, each game and the Super Bowl.

If you are a Saints fan this is a must buy and if you're not you'll still enjoy a great film.

I wanted a copy of the Superbowl. This was advertised as that. All it is cuts and clips of the 2009 season and highlights of the Superbowl.
It Sucks ~ Thanks for asking

Really?? I mean, how hard would it of been to actually put the Super Bowl on the "official" Super Bowl DVD. False Advertisement. Period.

Just what i wanted, just the right balance between the in match action and the sideline banter, it manages to build up each game and then convey the brilliance of each and every one of them. Sometimes the length of the match highlihts for particular games are not very long which can be frustrating and if i had one main problem with the DVD, it would be that in most games the highlights only include key touchdowns and not every score, this can be fairly confusing and in the regular season takes away some of the magic, however these are made up for by the rest of the movie.
The playoffs and then the superbowl are shown in good detail which is good and also, these stages contain lots of sideline footage and other extra film, this obviously ends up with the magical moment of the Neq Orleans Saints winning the Superbowl, i believe that this is captured well and the aftermath of the superbowl on the whole is shown very well.

Overall, i think that this product is Brilliant for its price and is a must buy for any Saints fan. WHO DAT!

It clearly states "action from" and does not include everygame but the highlights are execellent. It is the typical NFL films film which is the best on the market.
It's narrated and the Super Bowl is the broadcast with no narration but the real play by play.
Seeing this game by game builds the dramam slowly through the entire season. It is perfect especially if you are a Saints fan.
FYI: This comnes on ESPN and the NFL network so if you have a recorder!?!?

I find it funny that the set called "Super Bowl XLIV Champions" is a season highlight reel and the other set out there called "Saints Road to XLIV" is the one with the entire Super Bowl game on it. Basically, if you want to see a highlight reel to relive the memories of the Saints 2009 season & 1st Super Bowl victory along with the presentation of the Lombardi trophy after the game (best feature of the disk), buy this set. If you want to see the Super Bowl XLIV game, buy the "Road to XLIV" set. Both should be viewed as must have purchases for diehard Saints fans!

I got this video for my step dad, who lives an hour outside of New Orleans, and is a Saint's fan. He loves this video with all the behind the scences and insider points of view.

I relive the Saints Super Bowl winning season with these highlights. And I get goosebumps every time I watch it. Good stuff.

For $8, you couldn't have asked for more with this DVD. But just so you know, this is more-or-less a documentary-style overview of the season -- you don't get any full games from the season. Aside from the tacky intro about Hurricane Katrina at the beginning of the DVD, this is a great way to relive everything about the season.

A few of the more uneventful games are omitted for the sake of time, I guess, but you get the best highlights. From the unlikely comeback at Miami at the beginning of the season to the 38-17 dismantling of the Patriots on Monday Night Football, the DVD has you covered.

The DVD extras are the only part of this DVD I would say are lacking. There's a pretty gloomy feature on one Saints player, footage from media day before the Super Bowl and The Who's halftime performance (which is not nearly quite as good as I remember it being when I drunkenly saw it live at a bar on Decatur Street). Not a bad DVD for the price, but diehard fans may want to check out a DVD of the Super Bowl in its entirety to supplement the documentary.
