Description
After waiting for 43 years, the patience of long-suffering fans in the Gulf Coast region was finally rewarded. The New Orleans Saints, long the symbol of football futility, enjoyed the greatest year in franchise history. They posted the team’s best-ever regular-season record, then earned their first-ever trip to the Super Bowl. The Saints then completed a storybook finish by upsetting the favored Colts to claim their first Vince Lombardi Trophy. Relive all the thrilling mom… More >>
Just got off the phone with [...]. They confirmed that this product DOES NOT contain the full Super Bowl. It contains highlights of the regular season and only HIGHLIGHTS of the Super Bowl. I would not recommend this product if you want to watch the whole Super Bowl again.
Rating: 1 / 5
Shattered expectations are tough to take. I thought I was going to get to see the whole game.
This would be a very nice DVD with all the extras if only it had the whole SUPER BOWL game included like I mistakenly thought it did. If you want highlights ONLY of more games than just the Super Bowl, then this DVD does a nice job of delivering that. If you want to be able to watch the whole game, don’t waste your money; cause this DVD doesn’t have it. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
I guess I’ll try iTunes like a commenter suggested to the other 1 star reviewer. Don’t waste your money here like I did unless you’re happy with nothing but highlights. I’m not. I was on track for a great Saturday. This is almost as disappointing as if the Saints had lost. But they didn’t! Who Dat?

I just got this title in on Tuesday, and in the two days that have elapsed I’ve watched this blu-ray disc 3 times already.
It’s really well written, and is split up into 3 main segments. The first is a prologue that profiles the history of the team (briefly) and sets up the Katrina and post-Katrina struggles of the city and the team. The next segment includes a significant amount of high definition highlights from the regular season and playoffs. They don’t skimp on the highlights either – they do a great job of telling the story of each individual game, supported by lots of highlights and game film with the unforgettable calls of Jim Henderson and Hokie Gajan of WWL Saints Radio.
The last segment highlights the Super Bowl. A good amount of player interviews put the game’s significance front and center, and you are then immersed in Super Bowl XLIV. After a brief conclusion, Saints fans are treated to scenes from the Super Bowl victory parade on “DAT Tuesday” during “Lombardi Gras.”
There are a decent amount of special features – highlighting Jabari Hargrove, Sean Payton, Deuce McAllister, and Jeremy Shockey. There’s also significant Saints coverage and interviews from Super Bowl Media Day.
All in all, it’s worth every penny.

I liked everything about the dvd. It contains highlight from the start of 2009 season to SB 44. The only prob. with this dvd is narrator since this is the first Super Bowl champs dvd that did not get narrated by harry kalas.
R.I.P. Harry. If he were alive i would have given 5 star rating.

They start off with a little back ground on the saints and then head into the magical 2009 season, giving highlights of each game. The highlights are edited so it feels like a watching a movie. They spend much more time on the playoff games and the Superbowl. The entire movie is narrated giving it the documentary feel. The special features are really nice too, most of them are not longer the ten min, but there well worth watching. It looks great on blu-ray and sounds good. All in all I was impressed with presentation of the season and what highlights they showed.
