 The crown jewel of my Steelers collection. March 25, 2010
Not-So-Jolly_Roger (NYC)
As a 31-year Steeler fan, this collection is something I absolutely had to have. (In fact, I just watched the SB XIII disc last Saturday.) I've read some other reviews containing complaints about video quality on some of the discs, but as someone who previously had to rely on memories, taped highlights, and finally, CDs (which were offered in the Steelers catalog back in 2000 or so), I'm thrilled to have these. The only thing that disappoints me is that this collection is limited to the Super Bowls. If the Cowboys, Packers, Giants, and Eagles collections are worthy of 10 games each, then surely, the Steelers are. Right off the bat, I would add the "Immaculate Reception" game, any of the AFC Championship Game victories over the Raiders and/or the Oilers, and the 2002 AFC Wild Card shootout against the Browns. There's also a 33-30 overtime victory over the Browns in 1979 that I would strongly consider. Of course, I lean heavily toward the '70s dynasty, but that's what made me such a devoted Steeler fan in the first place.
 TAPE WAS NOT THAT BAD BACK THEN! February 18, 2010
Mary Michetti (Newburgh, NY)
I read the reviews but ordered it anyway. They were mostly right on. I havent watched all the discs yet, but, the first one was horrible. I couldnt make out the players from the distance shot. Up close was ok, but, I remember these games, and tapes are only from 35 yrs ago. They show highlights from games in the 40's or 50's that are clear, so what gives with this?
That being said, I am an avid fan, and havent seen these games since I was 12 yrs old. So, it was fun to watch again. I would say you must be a diehard fan to watch these DVD's, and thats a shame.
A Review From a Dallas Fan! August 18, 2009
M. Barber (CT USA)
Being a big Dallas Cowboys fan, I couldn't resist getting this Steelers Super Bowl collection. Now I own the two Steelers and Cowboys Super Bowls of the 70's which are two of the very best Super Bowls of all time. These are great games for any football fan and I enjoyed them immensely, even though my team lost. Unfortunately the video quality of the first two discs in this collection of the Vikings and first Cowboys Super Bowls are pretty bad. I did read all the other reviews that warned of this, but I still bought the set just to see the Cowboys games. I was hoping that the quality could be as good as the NFL: Dallas Cowboys 10 Greatest Games set which has Super Bowl 6 from 1972 and the quality of that disc is excellent compared to these Steelers discs even though the games are more recent. It's hard to make out which players are which because of the shaky camera and the picture seems to go from light to dark at various moments and it sometimes makes seeing the ball hard and ruins some good plays. It's too bad that the quality is worst than an old VHS tape as these are classic games that should have been transfered to DVD in much better quality. On the plus side, the next two discs (Super Bowls 13 and 14) are much clearer and easier on the eyes than the previous discs. You can actually enjoy watching these games as they are as good as the original network broadcasts. And of course Super Bowl 40 against the Seahawks looks great as this was only a few years ago. So 3 out of the 5 discs are of good quality. I would definitely recommend this to any Steelers fan as it's their team and they'll love reliving the Steeler's dynasty of the 70's, even with the poor quality. But even as a Cowboys fan, I'm still glad I got this to see my team in two classic Super Bowls and the Rams and Seahawks Super Bowls were pretty entertaining as well. I just wish the video was better for Super Bowl 10.
 Not as bad as you have read April 6, 2009
D. Hunt (Midwest)
My father-in-law received these as a gift, and I just watched IX yesterday. Yes, the footage is closer to that of an older VHS tape, but far from unwatchable. You can even see facial expressions quite easily on close-ups, although still not of tremondous quality. If you have the games on old VHS tape and are looking to transfer them to DVD, I imagine you would probably get better quality just buying this set, which I believe is quite reasonable considering you get 5 games on 5 DVD's. The only thing that I would have liked to see is some bonus material. Hall of Fame induction speaches would have been great!

If you're a Steeler fan, this is one of the best season reviews I've ever seen. Each regular season game is summarized, as well as the play-off games and Super Bowl. Its a very enjoyable and thrilling ride!
