Bond on Blu-Ray

I know what I want for Christmas: the six James Bond films now available on Blu-Ray disc!! I'm a huge Bond fan and movie buff, so naturally I've had all the films on DVD for years. Now they are starting to come out on Blu-Ray disc but I was skeptical about replacing my expensive collection. So I rented a couple of them (Dr. No and Thunderball) on Netflix just to check it out.

My God, I was stunned at the improved picture and DTS 5.1 surround sound. The restoration team went back to the original camera negatives, painstakingly cleaning and scanning each frame in high resolution. The result is astounding! I've never seen so much detail, depth of field, and color in these old films, and I've seen many of them at the theater, on the big screen. Blu-Ray makes them look like brand new movies.

Dear Santa Claus, there are six Bond Blu-Rays currently available and you can get me any and every one of them! I have been a very good boy this year!!
