Hockey Gold 2010 DVD Vancouver Olympic Games

It reads: "This is the 2010 story of Canada's men's and women's players who are Team Canada's reigning Olympic gold medal champions in hockey...On 5 discs coloured in the gold that adorned each player, every moment that led to the final gold medal from the XXI Olympic Winter Games is included."

Indeed, it would appear that "every moment that led to the final gold medal" for the men's team is, indeed, included on four of the five discs in the set. This is hardly the case for the women's tournament; Disc Two includes a four-minute "Tournament Introduction" and seventeen minutes of "Preliminary Round & Playoff Highlights." The only game that meets the "every moment" criteria claimed in the product blurb is, in fact the women's gold medal game--apparently seventeen minutes of "highlights" is the Canadian equivalent of "every moment". In fact, to make matters worse, the rest of Disc Two contains "Pre-Game Commentary" for each game of the men's tournament.

Overall, I wouldn't have minded the set so much, except for the fact that I purchased it with the reasonable expectation that it contained, on five discs, the complete tournaments for both the men's and women's teams--the seven men's games and five women's game could have fit easily on five double-sided discs, along with the commentary and medal ceremonies and whatnot. Indeed, in re-reading the product blurb, I fail to see where my expectations were misguided--this is deceptive and misleading information, pure and simple.

exciting, clear and complete. all the wonderful games, played by all the wonderful players. ice-hockey is first, and rugby is a tie for first.

It was exactly what my hubby wanted for Christmas and the service provider went above & beyond to ensure I had it in time.
