I have been hesitating whether to pick this product, or the one without the DVD, but now I believe, that it would have been a mistake not to take this one.

What I would like to call the would be buyer's attention is the DVD. This is simply the best material that could be provided for the total beginner. It contains about an hour and half of quality presentation by a pro cuber. The major part builds up the basic solution technique in a very clear and logical way, that I believe was carefully selected to be as straightforward (in the sense of complexity) as possible. By watching this tutorial, and some practice anyone can learn to solve the cube in less than 5 minutes from a total beginner level within a few hours.

Additionally some printout materials are as well provided for the more serious people interested in speed cubing.

Simply put, I believe this is the best presentation anyone could hope for aimed at the total beginner level, and is thus a perfect present. I think the few dollars it costs more than just the cube itself well worth the investment, as it turns the initial experience for the newbies from frustration and neglect to something fascinating.

Wow, I can't believe there's only one review of this product! I had to chime in and add the accolades it deserves.

I originally learned a beginner's solving method from a Web site. Since then, I've watched this DVD, and another put out by a magician where solving the cube is part of a magic trick. This DVD is by far the best teaching material I've seen.

I replaced several of my old beginner steps with those taught in this DVD. The teaching is excellent. The teacher is a cube solving champ. Fortunately, this guy can also teach. The video is easy to watch, professionally produced, and will help you learn quickly.

I've gone from solving in about five minutes to under two minutes after watching this DVD. These times are really slow compared with speed-cubers, but those guys are using much, much more complicated techniques which involve a lot of memorization of patterns and moves. The techniques on this DVD are easily within the reach of pretty much anyone.

You will notice in other Rubik's cube reviews that people have a lot of complaints about the cubes. Mainly in the quality of the stickers, which start to come loose and wear out. High-quality replacement stickers from Rubik's are cheap. However, the cube that came with this set has yet to give me a single problem, and it feels tuned slightly loose (which is a good thing, for speed). I've had several cubes, but only one from this special packaging with the DVD. So maybe I just got a good one, but it's definitely better than any stand-alone cube I've bought.

I would not recommend this product. The colored caps on the center blocks are coming off. They snap back on but just pop off minutes later. I'm going to purchase this at Target or Walmart where I can return it easily in case this happens again.
