Whoa! thanks Matty, I've been meaning to buy this for awhile now but I seem to forget about it everytime I go to Best Buy.

Great series. At $25 it's a steal. I'm going to order it myself.

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
I didn't watch it when it was on HBO originally, but I've always wanted to see it.
I just watched the first 2 episodes over the weekend, good stuff! |

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
Like someone said above, I paid the $120 for it awhile back. It is an absolutely addicting series. One of the best I've ever seen. I've seen it quite a few times so I gave it to my father about a year ago. He watches it probably once or twice a week. When they interview the actual WWII vets from easy company, it's amazing to hear them speak. Great series.

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
Great series. Got it when it came out. Damien Lewis is a wonderful actor. Great scripts, excellent photography and good extras with a cool documentary on the last disc.

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
I just saw this and remembered this thread. BofB is out on Blu Ray tomorrow and Amazon has it for a pretty damn good price if you ask me...
Amazon.com: Band of Brothers [Blu-ray]: Band of Brothers: Movies & TV I'm mad because I just bought it on DVD about 4 months ago. Oh well, I'm sure it looks amazing on BR but its great no matter how you see it.

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
Central figure in 'Band of Brothers' dead at 92 - CNN.com
This might be thread worthy in its own right, but I figured I'd just post it here. The nation lost a real hero last week, but at least he was able to go on and live a long and happy life. RIP Major Winters.

Re: Band of Brothers DVD set for $25 - great deal
This from the article:
"Winters did not make any money off his memoirs or the speeches he gave later in his life. His royalties from the book went to a variety of organizations, including veterans groups, breast-cancer research organizations and the Ronald McDonald house in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he lived for years." Strong, brave, humble and kind. The kind of man you aspire to be and that you hope your son grows into. Thank you for your service and peace be with you Mr. Winters.
