This 2013 World Series Collector's Edition is the BEST MLB has ever done!!! You NEED to get your own!!
This 8 disc collection on blu ray is very different looking than in World Series Editions in years past. This year, you will not receive 8 individual Blu ray covers; You will receive an outer attractive cardboard title cover that you would have to slide off to get to the actual blu ray plastic case. You will open the case like opening up a book and you will see a 14 page insert with all 7 complete games' stats and info as in years past sans each inning play by play account. Attached to the center of this large case, you will see 4 plastic disc inserts that holds all 8 discs. Discs 1-6 are games 1-6 of the 2013 World Series; Disc 7 is Game 6 of the ALCS, Tigers vs Red Sox. Disc 8 is the Bonus Disc. Now, if you weren't completely satisfied with the "2013 World Series Film" (sold separately), then this Bonus Disc will take the cake!
In the Bonus Disc Menu, you will see...

Doesn't quite knock it out of the park
Despite the fact that these games took place just barely over a month ago, I was anxiously awaiting this set. As a Red Sox fan suffering from the disaster of the 2012 season, it was nice to see the team go all the way this year. While this collector's edition is a good way to relive the experience, it falls short in a couple of areas.
I'll keep this part brief. The picture is gorgeous, the multiple audio options mean you don't have listen to Buck and McCarver, and the bonus disc highlighting the walk-off wins is pretty nifty. When it comes to the World Series itself, this set has what you want--assuming you're a Red Sox fan. I guess they figured not many St. Louis fans would be very eager to buy this set, anyway. But it would have been nice to have a little more balance. After all, St. Louis had a great season, too.
Even though little compares to the 2004 ALCS, it sure was nice that for that year they included all of the games in the boxed set. This year,...
Experience the 2013 Red Sox "Improbable Dream" in Glorious High Definition
Last week, I received my Blu-Ray version copy of the 2013 World Series Collector's Edition (CE) on Blu-ray, which was released on December 3 by Lionsgate Films and A&E Networks. (I also own DVD versions of the World Series CEs of the 2004 and 2007 Fall Classics.) To say the least, I am very pleased with my most recent purchase.
The Blu-Ray version of the 2013 World Series CE is, in a word, excellent! All six of the games between the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox and the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals are shown in all their full, 720p high definition video and DTS-HD Master Audio splendor. To my untrained eyes and ears, the video and audion quality of each disc actually exceeds what I experienced when watching the games' live broadcasts.
One very noticeable improvement in the 2013 World Series CE over its 2004 and 2007 predecessors (besides the obvious vast improvements in video and audio quality) is that the editors appear to have...
