Yes, I have had it for a couple of months. I've only gotten about half way through the series, it is very long, but very well done. It is old, don't expect any digital DVD footage or something. Most of the interviews and such were made in the 1970's. It is in no way biased and shows the war from pretty much every angle. It also covers the most aspects out of any other documentary i've seen. It doesn't cover the entire war, that would be pretty much impossible, but it covers the major battles from the British, American, Japanese, Russian and German perspectives. It also shows what life was like at home for families and during the many bombings of England and such.
I got this for $90 CDN so I wouldn't pay more than that. I got it from amazon.ca. They seem to have good prices. In American $ that is probably around $60, so you could probably find it for that much somewhere.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an in depth overview of the entire war.

there is an exception in this war, the germans were excellent record keepers and kept nearly everything in books or on picture, even though most of it was destroyed, this war has so much information available it is mind boggling

I'm pretty sure I saw something on History called that. It was quite interesting.
