So I notice the Band of Brothers Blu-ray version has been a hot seller at Amazon. But if you're like me you might wonder if a high definition version of an older TV series offers a real improvement over simply putting the original DVD version into your Blu-ray player and letting its "upscaling" features do their trick. (But if you're like me you also haven't upgraded to Blu-ray or high def television yet, so the question is hypothetical.)

But if you have upgraded, here's what makes the Blu-ray Band of Brothers worthwhile: in addition to all the extras in the original DVD version, they've added picture-in-picture commentary by the Easy Company veterans to each episode, along with an interactive "field guide" where the viewer can access extra information about soldiers, battles, and historical details. Since the current price for the six-disc set is only $37.49 (which is list price for most single-disc Blu-ray movies) I'd say that's a bargain.
If you've already got that, don't overlook the book (or some of the individual memoirs that have been published as a result of interest in the Band of Brothers).
