I bought this for the same price on DVD from Beast Buy a couple of years ago and still haven't even opened it, now I'm gonna double-dip a blind bought show on BD. Ugh.

Just finished watching this set. Any Blu-ray owner who doesn't jump on this price is out of their mind. It's phenomenal.

This is from the review of the set from High def Digest.
HD Bonus Content: Any Exclusive Goodies in There?
Wow… I certainly wasn’t expecting this. Not only does the Blu-ray edition of ‘Band of Brothers’ come packed with exclusive features, it packs a PiP experience, an interactive timeline, and a collection of featurettes, interviews, and archive footage onto every episode of the miniseries (yep, all ten). As it stands, I’m simply floored by the value and quality of the supplemental package on this release.
In the Words of Easy Company: Picture-in-Picture Commentaries -- First and foremost, each episode includes a PiP track loaded with interviews, anecdotes, horror stories, and observations from the actual surviving veterans who served in Easy Company. They discuss the differences between the miniseries and the battles they faced, the accuracy of the on-screen madness, and the haunting memories it stirred up for each of them. I know it’s an extra ten hours of precious time, but you would be well served by taking a few days and pounding through each track.
In the Field with the Men of Easy Company: Interactive Guides -- As if ten PiP tracks weren’t enough, you can also access a snazzy Field Guide interface with each episode. These guides house real time trivia, accessible video content, interactive maps, archive footage, and a glossary of WWII military terms, abbreviations, and slang. I hate to suggest spending another ten hours with the same ten episodes, but it’s completely worth it if you have the free time to sink into everything.

WOW! I immediately placed my order after reading the thread title.
I've been waiting to buy this for years (on DVD), and to get it far cheaper on Blu Ray than I would have on DVD is just SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!

I got one too. Been itching to get it, since I have only seen pieces of it...but what I did see I loved.

Anyone that doesn't have this set... ORDER IT NOW. That is all
I'll put it this way, I'm not even upset that I paid $50 for my set, it's worth every penny.

Couldn't resist at that price.
But, I am contemplating keeping the DVD set and transferring all the discs over to that case because I dislike the shortened height of the Blu-ray tin. Does that strike anyone as odd?

I thought about doing that too, but the BD set has a card board wrap that says Blu-ray on the spine, and it looks pretty cool on the shelf.
