Pistons Bad Boys fans will love this! Plus ECF game 3 is a Jordan gem!
My aunt was a Detroit Piston fan back in the 80's and loved watching the games on this set! It brought back a lot of memories for her as she had watched the games live and didn't have them on VHS. However it was also a great set for me for these reasons:
1. Getting to see the Pistons-Bulls rivalry for the first time was a real treat. The Pistons were heavily favored to win this series, but you wouldn't know from how the young Bulls came out and stormed to a 2-1 lead that included a game 1 stunner in Detroit. Jordan fans will love game 3 as he broke through for 46 points and hit a game winning shot that tore the roof off of the old Chicago Stadium. The Pistons recovered to win the series, but it was clear that the Bulls were developing into the dynasty that they later would become even though they barely made it out of the first round, only squeaking by on Jordan's brilliant shot over Ehlo and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rating: 5 stars
2. My aunt loved the Finals games against the Lakers. Even though it was a sweep it was nice to see, the undermanned Lakers give it their all against the Pistons after Magic's and Byron Scott's injuries forced them out. Seeing Kareem go out to chants of his name was chilling, but even more inspiring was the red hot play of the Pistons that the Lakers couldn't stop as the Pistons were down and came, back or would at times dominate them at stretches. Even with Magic and Scott at full strength I'm not fully convinced LA would have won this series. Rating: 4 stars some good games but it was a sweep
3. Finally the bonus year in review DVD is very nice too. You get to see the players, some highlights and the Pistons as they got to championship. The mention of Kareem's sendoff with gifts at every arena stop was nice too. Rating: 3.5 stars, I would have liked a longer review video.
All in all this is a great package for your money. You're getting the entire Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Bulls and the entire Finals vs. Lakers on 11 discs in full with no cheesy NBA TV rebroadcasts that edit out the footage they want. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it would have been nice to see more player introductions and interviews, but this is still an excellent package for your money.
The 2004 Pistons were great champions, but to me the 89-90 Pistons were even more so the epitome of Deeeetroit Basketball!

A nice camera for the money. Just get a squaretrade warranty to back it up.
I liked this camera as it took very good pictures (especially in 14MP) and video, however it could have had a couple more features, namely the ability to change the video resolution settings rather than just have it at the one 640x480 preset.
However I would advise others to fully test the camera to make sure it's up to their standards and then once it passes the test get a squaretrade warranty to protect it. Please follow this advice because in my case the camera was defective. I don't think that overall these cameras are bad, just this one camera had a defect. But for that defect it was a definite keeper. It is a nice compact little camera and gives good value for the money.

A barely average set. For Tiger fanatics only.
1 of 1 found this helpful This set is called the authorized DVD collection, but should have offered a lot more. It offers some in depth interviews and nice perspective into Tiger's life from Tiger himself from his childhood to his excellent career through the 2004 season, but that's really it. The bonus footage is just ok, but not really that exciting with some features from Tiger's clinic and more interview footage as well as some commercials and a few shots.
The Majors bonus footage is simply too short. It would have been nice to have more of Tiger's artistry on the course featured rather just a couple minutes of clips per major. And especially with his 97 Masters breakthrough. Far more time should have been devoted to that, as his 2000 season and 2001 Masters triumph to cap off the Tiger Slam. He is chasing Jack's records and to give such little footage of his major footage spoils it a bit.
I am a huge Tiger fan, but I can only recommend this to big fans like myself who want to fill out their Tiger collection. I know the DVD's aim was to focus on Tiger the man, but Tiger the man wouldn't be Tiger without Tiger the GOLFER and that footage should have been equally portrayed on this DVD. The Clinic footage was pretty bland as well. Personally since this is 2013 and Tiger now has 14 majors vs the 8 he had back then I think they should consider remaking this DVD package with a more balanced approach to his life and his extraordinary golf. I would be willing to pay for set that examines his life (without being gossipy and salacious, but would put a flawed Tiger in proper perspective with his moving on after his marriage ended, but not having that as the focus of course) and especially his new triumphs like the 2008 US open. That was a real test of adversity with an ailing Tiger hobbling around on one knee battling like a warrior for a 14th major. I believe a new set could put him and his career more in perspective and would be worth a purchase for even more casual fans. This set however is pretty average and doesn't do his legacy justice.
