Hmm, I'm impressed, only 1 "bad" 007 in Volume Three, and it's far from the worst.

Same comments as the other ones, although at least the art is a bit better in terms of character selection.

Man, these are gonna hurt my wallet even though I sold my previous OOP sets at their prime demand. Can't wait though, the new transfers and DTS are gonna be amazing.

I still think I'll be buying these at a rate of one per month. I've already ordered Vol. 1.

usually have an enormous boner everytime I see dts attached to a title but some of these movies came out a pretty long time ago so I doubt they'll be anything special.

That's the R2 version with the atache case.

And the special discs? Read the specs, my friend. These are all 2-disc versions. They're just not all packaged together.

Any chance there will ever be a release of the individual artwork like the Region 2 release?

Also, I said it in the other thread but I'm definitely picking up all four volumes. I missed out last time and I've bought everything else off of my wish list over the years and there they still are! Can't wait until these are realeased.

I stated that I was going to wait for an eventual High Def release of the titles, but I just might have to put Volume 3 on my Christmas wish list.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks "Casino Royale" is going to be a big ball of c**p! The dvd set are really nice.

No part in that Casino Royale c**p??.... Have you seen the new trailer. It is going to be the best Bond film yet. I like every actor who played Bond (well I guess Roger Moore was ok) and I think that Craig will define the role. Every actor on set is saying he is the best actor who has ever played Bond. If Judi Dench can say something like that, I think that the studio picked the right man for the job. All of this craignotbond.com garbage is just pathetic.

Yes I even liked George Lazenby as Bond.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it will be the best ever. It seems like it will be a very good one, but only time will tell if it is the best, and even then, the best is always subjective

I think Craig is being judged unfairly and prematurely, wait for the movie to come out before bashing him. I predict that a lot of those people will suddenly have a change of heart in November, but again, we must wait to see how he does...
