I have all of the James Bond movies up until CASINO ROYALE in a DVD box set and I am very pleased with it. Although it would be nice to have all the movies in the HD format, I have only upgraded to BD my favorites like DR NO, GOLDFINGER, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and about three others . The most recent was was ON HER MAGESTY' S SECRET SERVICE. I bought it from Sam's Club for $9.95 about two weeks ago. I was expecting the picture quality to be as good as the other JB movies iI have on Blu Ray but was very disappointed with the picture because it had a quality that looked like I was watching a DVD on a standard definition TV set. To see if there was a difference in picture quality, I got out the DVD from the box set and the SD picture was just amazing because it was very sharp and looked great on my HD set . It actually made me feel I was watching it on Blu Ray.
