 beyond horrible.....a disgusting cash grab November 23, 2008

You can read some of the other reviews, but here is the deal:
The first 2 games on here are completely un-watchable. Yes, the footage is old. No, it wasn't filmed in HD. But theres no excuse. ESPN runs crystal clear footage of these 2 games all the time. Its availabe (somewhere).
Why any company would release this and try to fool everybody is incomprehensible.
The first 2 games look like someone recorded them on an old VHS vcr (with bad reception). Then used the tapes for about 5 years. Then connected another vcr and recorded them again. Then they transferred it to DVD. UN-believably bad. No excuse.
And i've read some other reviews that say "well, the footage is old, what do you expect??.....". Then why does ESPN and other channels run crystal clear footage of these games ALL the time???
Games 3 and 4 are ok, not great, definitely not remastered like they should be, but watchable.
Game 5, obviously, is perfect. But thats already available on another DVD.
I waited a long time for this...couldn't believe it when i heard it was being released....and pre-ordered it. I read some initial reviews of the horrible quality, and i prayed "please let it not be true...". And yes, it as THAT bad, maybe worse.
PLEASE.....do NOT spend any money on this, this is pure trash, a disgrace.
They will probably be released by someone else (with the quality they should be), in the future.
STAY AWAY. far away.

I purchased the set for my boyfriend. The first 2 disks are not the best quality, but he understands the footage is old. The other 3 disks look great. He is a diehard Steelers fan and loves it anyway...

The Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowls dvd set is finally here.I have waited for some time for this dvd set and was very happy to get this and start watching these super bowls.I only gave a 4 star rating because even though these games are from the 1970's I still think they could of done a better job of restoring them.The games are watchable but the first 2 super bowls are a little blurry.As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan I am still very happy to have them.Their our no extras,just the super bowls.
 The games are 30+ years old - of course it's not high def October 30, 2008

First, let me say that I collect old sporting events on DVD and VHS. I have several copies of these games, so I was interested in what the level of quality would be coming from an official release. To be frank, it's about what I expected. Four of the games are from the 1970s, so they're not going to be high quality transfers. In fact, if you try to watch them on a large plasma, LCD, or DLP television, you're going to magnify the flaws.
That said, these games are most certainly watchable. Put the game on a 27-inch full-frame tube TV, and it's fine (not high def, but 1970s fine). In fact, the smaller the TV, the better the picture will be. Those of us old enough to remember seeing these games when originally broadcast remember that was true even then.
 I have VHS versions complete with commercials, pregame, halftime, postgame October 28, 2008

I have complete versions of these on VHS (some transferred from BETA) with pre-game, halftime, post-game and commercials. The quality is even better than what is on the DVD for SB 9&10. The NFL should have taken their time with this and got it right. My biggest complaint isn't even the quality, but the fact that you don't get the pre-game, halftime and post game.
