You get a collection of some of the best movies ever made at a very reasonable cost
The positive: You get a collection of some of the best movies ever made at a very reasonable cost.
The negatives:
1) The movies come in an oversized album that is oddly shaped and doesn't fit on any of my bookshelves. This would be much better if the height and depth of the case was the same as a standard DVD case so that I could store it with the rest of my DVD collection.
2) They put two movies on each DVD, one on each side. The DVD's are unlabeled except for microscopic printing around the hole, making it impossible to read without a powerful magnifying glass.
3) The pages of the album are made out of cardboard and the DVD's are stored in slots right in the middle of the cardboard. There is no way to pull the DVD's out without gripping the playing surfaces of the DVD.
4) It requires considerable force to pull the DVD's out of the slots, such that DVD's could possibly be damaged trying to get them out.
5) Forget trying to put the DVD's back into the slots once you have removed them. It requires substantial force and is nearly impossible to get them back in without damaging something.
Essentially this collection is made for display and not for regular use in watching the DVD's.
I gave 2 stars because it's a great collection for the money, but the packaging is a total disaster. I can't believe they actually allowed it to be produced this way. I'm not sorry I bought it, but I plan to remove the DVD's from the album and store them in sleeves. I'll probably pitch the album because it is useless and doesn't fit on bookshelves.
If you want to get a lot of great movies cheap this is a good value but plan on finding an alternate way to store the DVD's if you actually want to watch the movies.
