The Big Bang Theory - Season 1-9 [Blu-ray] [2016] [Region Free] [UK Import]

I just received this in the mail today and watched the pilot to make sure everything is functional. It is!This is an excellent way to catch up on 'The Big Bang Theory' in as high a video quality as possible. Although this set is made in the UK by Warner Bros., the discs play perfectly here on my consumer Sony Blu-Ray player here in the U.S. The discs are packaged in five packs: Seasons 1-3, 4-6, 7, 8, and 9. Each season, regardless of how it is packaged, encompasses two Blu-Ray discs, making a total of 18 discs in the entire boxed set. The five packs are packaged in a full-color cardboard box, with a full-color cardboard sleeve over that. The inner art of each pack details each episode's credits and summary. It may be difficult to read given the blue plastic packaging, but you can easily slide it out to read it, The cover art of the first three packs is exactly the same, as if to make this Season 1-9 set they took a boxed set made for Seasons 1-7 and added space for the seasons 8 and 9. For those of you concerned with parental ratings, curiously the boxed set is rated for viewers age 15+, while each season's packaging says age 12+.The video of the pilot episode I viewed was a bit grainy, but it didn't detract from the high definition video at all, and I expect the video quality of the rest of the series would get even better as they go along. It's still far and away better than any DVD presentation!Given the low price of this set, I recommend snatching it up while you can. You won't be disappointed and it's a great value.

Fantastic set for it's price. I've watched season 1 - 5 so far. No video or audio issues/playback issues in general. The pack groups Season 1 - 3 in one case. Season 2 - 6 in another case, and then individual cases for 7 - 9. I have not come across any broken pieces of the cases and each of the cases lays out all the episodes in the inside of the sleeve.I gave it 4-stars mostly because of the menu system incorporated. Season 1 menus are absolutely atrocious. It looks like a mess and the highlight colors are just awful to see what you're on. There is a vastly stark difference going to Season 2 and beyond. Although similar menu structure, the colors are night & day clear and easy to use. Also all 24 episodes for a season show up no matter what disc you have in for a season; you just won't be able to play them and instead will be prompted to change discs.A final bit of a nitpick (I'm not necessarily counting against) is the episode selection tends to just continue playing all episodes after in succession instead of going to menu. I think this sort of defeats the point of having a "play all" and "selection an episode" options.

Be not afraid! The description may say it's 1 disc, and some of the reviews may state it's 5 discs, but it's actually 18 (2 per season). Inside the box, there are 5 Bluray cases. Inside the first case (seasons 1-3), there are 6 discs. Second case (seasons 4-6), again 6 discs. Third-Fifth cases are each one season each (7, 8, 9), again 2 discs per season.On average, there are 12 episodes per disc (S1 is only 17 ep total), so the quality is actually pretty good, and you get full 1080P and DTS HD Master Audio. There are also quite a few special features per season (including a gag reel). I was expecting it to be stripped down and/or low quality, but color me surprised.Also, it works perfectly on US Bluray players, and looks exactly the same as the US broadcast of the show (I would have thought they would be PAL standard - maybe that's not a thing on Blurays anymore).

I, too, was concerned that this set would work in the US zone. But these discs work in the Blu-Ray format. Other reviewers have described the distribution of the seasons by discs numbers.Each season has the traditional "gag reel" and other special features, such as appearances at Comic-Con, tours of the set, and interviews with the cast about their character and their relationships. The appearances of special guests, such as James Earl Jones and Bob Newhart are given small features. Also provided is a touching tribute to Carol Ann Susi, who provided the voice of the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz; she passed in November 2014 and her death prompted the decision to retire the character on the show.If I have one complaint, it's the on-screen menus. For selection of episodes or special features, there is a small, round icon; a portion of the icon changes color when selected. It can be hard to see.

While I appreciate that these are, ultimately, playable, we've run into some glitches. Despite updating our Blu-Ray players (which were fine, it turns out, and had never failed us in the past), the playability of these disks is a bit dicey. You can view them -- fear not -- but if you want to PAUSE and later resume, good luck. The disks tend to freeze up and need total revamping, a royal pain if you're well into a given disc. We also get bizarre error messages, like READ DISK 2 (when we're still on disk 1) and such.Not ideal, but not a deal buster. But if you like scene selection or any control whatsoever over what you're going to watch, BEWARE.If you're a binge watcher, you'll never know the diff.

Most important... yes it is a U.K. Version but Yes it Will Play on most USA blue ray devices including a blue ray disc drive for the computer. That being said... the menus sucks. Granted, this issue is not enough to send the discs back but are simply an irritation and make it harder to watch the shows in order. Episodes are not on the menu list in order, do not auto play in order of release from one episode to the other, and do not have the episode titles or the episode numbers listed.So far, I have had no problem with "grainy" or "unplayable" episodes (though I am admittedly still on the first disc).I would say that the value outweighs any problems I have with this product.

The Big Bang Theoryのシーズン1～9のBlue-Ray　DVD-BOXです。残念ながら日本語字幕・日本語音声は入っていません。英語学習のつもりで購入しました。各巻におまけ映像として出演者のインタビューなどがついています。もっと日本でも人気が出てもよさそうなのに・・・翻訳が難しいから日本語に訳すと面白さが伝わらないから？日本人にはあまり馴染みのないパロディもあるので万人には勧められません。シーズン1をレンタルビデオ屋で借りて気に入れば購入するのも良いと思います。重ねて書きますが日本語字幕・日本語音声はありません。

最近ビッグバンセオリーにハマり、英語の勉強も兼ねてDVDをまとめ買いしました。このDVDセットはシーズン1〜9が全て揃っています。DVDケースは4つ入っていて、シーズン1〜3、4〜7、8、9に分かれています。1シーズンあたりのDVDの枚数は3枚。DVD1枚につき8話とオマケ（撮影風景などが見れる）が付いています。PS4では問題なく再生できました。ただし日本語訳は付いていないので、日本語で見たい方は別のものがオススメです。全207話をたった6,200円で手に入れられてびっくりしました。

中身は最高です。商品情報にディスク1枚と記載されていたため、購入を戸惑いましたが、実際はブルーレイディスクケース5つ、ディスクは10枚程度で、おそらく全話収録されていると思います。ビッグバンセオリーを観たい方にはオススメです。（字幕はスペイン語、ポルトガル語、韓国語対応で日本語はありません。残念…）

I've always loved the big bang theory and I loved being able to binge watch the show. Now to get session 9 watch it too. The box set looks great and it takes up less space on my shelves than each individual session would, which is great as I have a lot of dvds. The discs all played fine and I had no problems with any of them.

Love this show and can now watch over and over again. Love that it has subtitles and plenty of extras including bloopers. Highly recommend this boxset.
