Beware! Poor Quality and in PAL - They know they are shipping to America - where we use the NTSC system - They ship PAL anyway - They don't care - Then try for a 30% re-stocking fee. I don't think so - I will stop payment with the credit card company. Kellysi


3 out of 5 stars Mediocre sound and video quality   September 16, 2008
 15 out of 17 found this review helpful

The video format is wide screen, but its audio and video quality are sub-standard compared to most DVD movies probably because of heavy compression. It doesn't look good on an HDTV even with a good up-scaling DVD player.

Not recommended as a memorative unless you want the Chinese narration. The narration does give you more detail than the NBC commentators. It was difficult for the NBC guys to tell what was going on because of their cultural background.
