This is honestly quite the collection, not only does it include all 4 of the (current) Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but also working iTunes Digital Copy codes for mobile device use.
For the price of admission you are getting a set of decent Blu-ray transfers of the original Pirates films, admittedly the quality of the Blu-ray experience increases as you go up in movies while the quality of the movies themselves (acting/plot) fall but you can easily find a happy medium in the process.
Now the presentation of the collection is where I was actually taken by surprise. This isn't one of those cheap 'lets make a box out of paper and make it look like something it isn't' Blu-ray collections that we've all see and probably own. The Chest of Davy Jones in which this collection is stored is a hard impact plastic box with a rather impressive level of detail, a respectable interior lining, and magnetic clasps to keep the entire closed when not in use.
The disk's themselves come in an accordion file cardboard holder shaped like a piece of Aztec Gold (see the first Pirates movie.) which is respectably constructed, however, like many I don't feel that this design will provide ideal protection for the discs over the long haul as there is considerable movement inside the individual slots.
Closing this out there is a rolled map circa Pirates 3 which is a small scale, non-moving, reproduction of that which you see in the film...this is actually just set inside the box with the disc holder and to me feels like the lowest quality part of the entire package. It truly feels like an afterthought added in for perceived value.
To those who know this series, you are getting 1080p editions with an impressive audio uptick from the normal DVD previously released. All movies are respectably done and have deep and rich blacks by default and bright colors without that odd over saturation that many Blu-ray collections tend to have.
To those who don't know the series, the movies themselves are worthy of watching. Though perhaps billed a little bit towards family and younger children at times, I personally feel there are many nuances of the movies that are obviously directed to adults and more mature humor. It is most certainly worthy of a purchase if you have kids or not. I can't say much more about them without having spoilers, which I won't do, but I doubt you will be disappointed at all in any but perhaps the 4th movie which does indeed feel like a last ditch effort by Disney to cash in one more time on the popularity for the series.

Simply an A+
The complete Pirates of the Caribbean on Blu-Ray. Plays on any blu-ray player, all regions, ABC. A wonderful box, for all ages. Comes with an exclusive Blu-Ray bonus disc! Very affordable, all around nice set. Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly, and many others throughout all 4 of the films. Many laughs, much action. Very nice bonus content for a UK import, may not have as much as owning the American versions, but just enough, see the back cover for specifications, enjoy!
