Bond 50 Blu-ray Trailer
In celebration of James Bond's monumental golden anniversary, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment today unveiled Bond 50, a collectible box-set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray Disc for the first time in one complete offering. The longest running film franchise of all time, the Bond 50 collection marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high definition Blu-ray. Fans around the world can pre-order now with participating online retailers.
Acclaimed Bond directors John Glen (five Bond films including For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights & License to Kill), Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale) and Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough) with special guests Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) and Caterina Murino (Casino Royale) made the Blu-ray announcement today during a Directors' Panel discussion in the Panasonic Booth at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.
Bond 50 showcases fifty years of Bond neatly packaged into one cool, sleek collectable box-set featuring all six iconic James Bond actors. Produced using the highest possible picture quality and audio presentation, the collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including some new and exclusive content.
"With all 22 feature films available on Blu-ray in one collection for the first time this is a great way for fans to catch up on 007's epic journey before Skyfall hits theaters this Fall," said Michael Brown, Senior Vice President, MGM Home Entertainment. "Now viewers can enjoy the intense action of the innovative franchise in the most immersive home experience possible."
"We have a whole program of exciting activities planned for our 50th anniversary year, beginning with today's announcement, by Fox, of the release of all 22 films on Blu-ray for the very first time," added Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, with Eon Productions. "We are also delighted that Fox has unveiled a specially designed anniversary poster which we hope the fans will love as much as we do. Our website, 007.com will be regularly updated with all the latest anniversary news and events."

Let's see... I own... 3 Bond movies? 4 actually. And I can honestly say I'm not interested in owning any more. There all fun to watch, but it's safe to say I'm not that big of a fan.

@bawnian-dexeus You are correct, this does not contain WB's Never Say Never Again, nor does it have Skyfall included since that's not even out yet.

Considering I don't own many of the Bond films, and Blu is how I like to collect movies from now on, I may plunk down the cash for this.

being a kid growing up in the 90's Im happy my dad introduced me to James Bond
its now one of my favorite movie franchises
I love everything from the music to the women and the action scenes
at this point you can't deny it; people love James Bond, girls want to be with him and guys want to be like him
I still love Casino Royale so much
Daniel Craig is great as the title character and is considered the best Bond since Sean Connery
im thinking about picking this up since I have a PS3 now but maybe I'll wait once my VHS collection wears out

I thought that the Digital Restorations from the Ultimate Edition DVDs were as far as they could go with the highest picture quality. Notice they subtly say that, it's probably the same quality from the Ultimate Editions. Not worth double dipping to Blu-Ray when it's already available on DVD for less.

Nice, but I noticed that there is no price yet. My guess: $300-500.
