Talk about frustration! I think it took me 45 minutes to open the stinkin' set! Each movie is individually shrink-wrapped as is the entire set and each movie has 3 stickers (top, side and bottom) you have to pull off to get it open!

Especially since some people got theirs on Saturday! Sigh. Hopefully tomorrow. It's my day off, so that would be nice.

If you bought the Jack Ryan boxed set at Costco then you'd have to open:
- The plastic casing that boxed sets come in--which is hard to open without scissors or a knife
- The shrink wrap for the entire box
- The shrink wrap for each individual DVD case (4)
- Three security stickers per DVD case
I'm not complaining though--I got mine at Costco for $44.

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive so I'm looking forward to all the frustration involved in opening it.

HFRO for me, eventually. I already own SOAF and could care less about the Ford attempts.
For those not pickig these up because they can't process DTS - you still have a much improved picture, and they're the same price as the old ones.

I bought the first three separately, since I already own SOAF, and both HFRO and Patriot Games were defective, i.e. wouldn't play in my DVD player. Plus those damn security stickers tore the cover of the Patriot Games disc. I am actually glad that one was defective, but I wanted to watch HFRO last night.
