NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions DVD

As a long-time Steelers fan, this DVD was a must buy and I'm happy I did it. BUT, the Superbowl is not complete, just a series of clips. Too bad too becuase Superbowl XLIII is a game I could watch over and over to see the great plays both by the Steelers like Harrison's record interception+return and Santonio Holmes' spectacular series of catches on the last offensive drive, as well as the great almost-comback by the Cardinals, a team that got no respect during the regular season and had to earn it the hard way in the postseason.My problem with the DVD is that unlike many of the NFL's productions this one has no heart, no stortelling, no reason to care, presented in the program. This DVD gives you a striaght-up prestantion of the games with all the wit and charm of a statistician. If you want to see great sports storytelling and human drama played out on the gridiron, check out the  NFL Super Bowl XL - Pittsburgh Steelers Championship DVD . It starts off just right with the emotionally honest speech by Hines Ward regarding the possible retirement of Jerome Bettis. Great stuff. The closest this program gets is the exchange between Ward and Limas Sweed - good stuff but there were MANY great storylines that went into this season. Some people think NFL films are too melodramatic, personally I love the over-the-top drama and I can't believe they would lose the oportunity to present some great stories.Here's just a few that jump to mind!The injury to longtime backup Charlie Batch that led to Byron Leftwich stepping up to help play strong.The emphasis on discipline in training camp that got Casey "Big Snack" Hampton some press before the season started.The long road and perseverance of James Harrison who made Defensive player of the Year (a fact BARELY mentioned on the DVD).Hines Ward's drive to play in the Superbowl despite a knee injury two weeks earlier against Baltimore.Oh, and lets not forget the faceoff between Mike Tomlin and Ken Wisenhunt/Russ Grimm after they all vied for the headcoaching gig in Pittsburgh two years prior.Any or all of those would have been great to hear about but we got next to nothing on the main program, just scattered in the bonus material or completely ignored.Griping aside, the production is nicely done and the inclusion of the 4th quarter of the Dallas game (at least on the Blu-Ray DVD) is a nice touch - but even then they cut it too short and left out the bone chilling battle cry by Nate Washington shortly after an ankle injury, a moment I was dying to see again! I hope NFL films has a few other productions planned to give this season its due.

Very well made film! I remember watching parts of this season when I first began getting interested in football. In my opinion it was so good that it helped to develop a passion in me for football for the next few years. This season is also what made me a Steelers fan to this day.The Steelers roster back then was nothing short of star-studded. The defense, boasting stars like Troy Polamalu, James Harrison, Lamar Woodley, James Farrior, Casey Hampton, and Ike Taylor, was one of the best of the 2000s so far. On offense were other future Hall of Famers such as Big Ben and Hines Ward.To cap off the season, the Steelers had one of the all-time great Superbowl victories against the Arizona Cardinals. It's truly awesome to be able to relive that historic Steelers team/season through this film. I would absolutely recommend this to Steelers fans and to anyone else who might be interested in a good road to the Superbowl DVD!

As someone said above, the clip above is not on the Blue Ray in regards to the explanation. On blue ray, they just show run back and that's it.Had to listen to it in Stereo because 5.1 surround on the PS3 kept cutting the volume to a super low level every time commentator spoke. Very annoying. Not sure if it's this Blue Rays 5.1 or the way my PS3 interprets it. I do have MLB world series Blue ray, and that plays perfectly fine in 5.1. Shrug.Good video for Steeler fans to own, but as I said in title, does not compare to their previous Superbowl DVD XL in terms of emotion and pride. This Blue Ray just tells the story in a boring style manner, not much work seemed to go into it as previous one, so it seemed.After watching it and knowing it's downfalls, yes I still would buy it for my Steeler collection.

El título podría ser:"Entrevistas y algunas escenas de juegos de la temporada 2008-2009 y del Super Bowl XLIII".El título solo engaña al consumidor.El aficionado tiene la ilusión de ver el juego completo del Super Bowl y no entrevistas y algunas escenas de la temporada, así como unas breves escenas del Super Bowl.Es un fraude porque ni el título ni el contenido son claros en sus especificaciones.

Great DVD for NFL fans ! In blu-ray, the quality is amazing ! And you can watch blu-ray discs in every blu-ray player all over the world ! But you can't watch DVD everywhere because the regions are different. I am french, i live in france, i can't watch american DVDs on my french dvd player but i can watch american blu-ray in my french blu-ray player, because there is only one region position in blu-ray players all over the world. Enjoy this Blu-ray, NFL fans ! ;-)

gewohnte NFL-Films-Qualität - vor allem beiden Perspektiven. Aber leider etwas zu kurz geraden, vor allem die Super Bowl Sequenzen. Da war mehr drin - nach dieser Topsaison der Steelers. So ist die DVD vor allem für Hardcore-Steelers geeignet

タイトルからスーパーボールのみがノーカットで収録されているのかと思いました。（商品説明にあるのかもしれませんが、私は英語が全くだめなので。）　内容は、このシーズンのWeeK1からラストまで。プレイオフ。スーパーボール。のそれぞれダイジェスト。選手のインタビューなどもありますが、当然英語です。英語字幕もありますが。　スーパーボールをすべてみたい方は、別売りの２枚組の方をお勧めします。あくまでも、スティーラーズ優勝の余韻に浸りたい方。コレクターやマニア向けかもしれません。映像はきれいです。
