Summary: makes me want to condone pirating
Review: "List price: $99.98"? These guys have some nerve to ask for a hundred bucks for these four dvds. Only the best masterpieces ever are worth $25 a pop, and that's usually with some phat package or some new screen format; there are hardly even any special features on here. While I agree that Sopranos is one of the greats, the first season is the only one that really needs to stand tall in the historical movies vault.
DVD companies have forgotten about the lower price that's supposed to come with bulk purchases. Why have high prices remained, even increased, constant even as DVD popularity/essentiality increases? Seriously, HBO is trying to gouge you guys. At the very least, you should rent it first, or watch it on your computer.

Summary: Sadly misguided...
Review: I guess what really ruined the Soprano's for me was the second season. Now, I am very hesitant to even watch the third and fourth season. The first season was a definite mindblower; my girlfriend and I watched every episode back to back for two days. Sadly, the second just wasn't up to par for me - maybe it was James Gandolfini's rather annoying impression of Robert De Niro over, and over again... or maybe I was always expecting to see Ray Liotta jump into the scene and yell "Karen, Karen!" The Soprano's has turned into an over-hyped elongated up to date version of Goodfellas. I am sure John Gotti is rolling over in his grave over these poor attempts of portraying an Italian-American family. Nothing can compare to Joe Pesci demanding why he is so funny - however, we don't need attempt after attempt to try and re-create that drama.
Unfortunately, The Soprano's has bedruged itself into another annoying cariacture of Italian Americans - as did "Married to the Mob" and "A Brooklyn Tale" - pass this sale up and rent it at Rogers...
