:oohyeah:

I actually have the set above minus the HOF speech on DVD and I was shocked that its selling for like $100 on amazon haha. The DVD was 3 disc and the listing says 4 disc ... maybe they have a bunch new content they have yet to list yet ... otherwise you could easily fill 1-2 BDs with the stuff that the dvds had.

And a month later this one is coming, same as the older dvd.

The 2nd one is pretty cheap, might want to lock a pre-order in.
 
I preorderd both earlier today. I dont know if I will get To The Max but with those prices (really for both) I figured I'd lock a pre-order in now incase amazon raises.
 
This is a definite buy for me. I've been watching that blu for two weeks now. It was originally at like $70 or something.

Can't wait to watch those impressive games in HD.

I put in the dvd last night and watched 93 finals game in its entirety vs. sir charles.

the BD shows 4 discs and the dvds were 3 however they were dual sided so its like 6 dvds. I guess with a few extra stuff (as I know the HOF speech is new that is listed) would equal out to 4 discs I'd say.

Price dropped by like 2 bucks on the Ultimate set, also artwork is up for "To The Max" remember that one is only 45 minutes long.

Dont know if I got this early or what, but I just received mine! w00t!

The only true extras are the HOF speech and the making of MJ's Playground.

Now here's the bad news, its 1080i and Stereo audio. Maybe the audio tracks couldnt be made better? Most TV shows are only 1080i when coming to blu-ray, so that makes sense.

It is however 4 discs and 16 hours of Jordan. Why it is 4 discs makes no sense cause it could have all fit on 2-3.

There's no way the archival footage will ever look better than it does in this set. The entire set is more a nostalgic look at the legend. 1080i is fine, 1080p wouldn't have done any more difference really.
 
Yeah I guess, a lot of scrubbing though, in one of the games vs. Utah (the flu game) many times their legs are greenish/yellow lol.
 
I just got the MJ Imax blu-ray in the mail. Cant wait to throw it in, its 1080p !!! AND has DTS HD Master Audio :)
