Info from Packers.com.

Greatest Games DVD which Packers.com let fans vote for will be the fan voted top 10 games shown in their full Television Broadcasts. Alas that rules out Super Bowl 1 and 2 and the Ice Bowl since they couldn't find or there is no surviving copy of the full game.

1. Super Bowl XXXI, Brett and Reggie bringing the Lombardi Trophy home.

2. 2007 NFC Divisional game vs the Seahawks, really glad this one made it, was truly an amazing game, remember Ryan Grants two fumbles to start the game?

3. 2003 MNF vs Oakland, Brett plays one more for his old man.

4. 1992 vs the Bengals when some kid named Brett Favre came off the bench.

5. 2003 NFC Wildcard game vs Seattle, Matt Hassleback in the OT cointoss saying "We Will take the ball and we are going to score" too bad he threw the winning TD to Al Harris.

6.1997 NFC Championship game vs the 49ers, smoked them and kept them out of the endzone until a Kick return with 3 minutes left to play.

7. 1983 MNF vs Redskins, Highest scoring MNF game EVER! 48 to 47, 11 TD's 11 PAT's and 6 field goals.

8. 1995 vs the Bears, when people figured Favre's starting streak was over with an ankle problem and he came out and threw 5 tds and no INT's. I'm sorry Chicago fans.

9. 1996 MNF vs 49ers Farve throws 61 times in a OT edge of the seat type game.

10. 1996 NFC championship game vs Carolina, -17 degrees in Green Bay and the chance to play in New Orleans on Super Sunday on the line.

I think they said it will be 50 bones, which isn't really bad. I think the NFL should do a series of the best games in the history of the league and release them in their entirety the way they happened not constiently cut off by people talking about the game. I would buy a lot more NFL DVD's if they were full games instead of glorified highlight reels.

For sure a must have for the Packers fans, too bad the Lombardi Era footage wasn't kept better track of it would be cool to see Bart and company.

It's a shame that Packers fans don't have longer memories. Even though I'm not "Bart Starr Old," I still remember the 1989 season of "Majik and the Miracles" when the Packers went 10-6 and were a Cincinnati loss to the Vikings on Monday Night Football away from making the playoffs. There were five or six games that year decided in the last 2 minutes. Even a recap of that season on this DVD would have been nice.

I'm lame. I'll still buy it. Even though #7 is the only non-Favre era game and I've seen them all (even #7). Watching Lynn Dickey curb stomp Joe Theismann alone is worth the fifty bucks.

P.S. I'd even list the Packers Superbowl loss to Elway as better than 6 or 7 of these games. It was painful, but it was still one hell of a game.

Well it is fan choice and with Favre retiring right before the voting on Packers.com started it is bound to be mostly Favre.

I heard somewhere that Super Bowl 2 and the Ice bowl were top 5 picks but they couldn't get full games for whatever reason.

It would have also been cool to see the asterisk game against the Bears.

Interesting note about Superbowl I and why it's not available from Wikipedia:
Lost footage

Much to the dismay of television historians, all known broadcast tapes which recorded the game in its entirety were subsequently destroyed in a process of wiping, the reusing videotape by taping over previous content, by both networks. This has prevented contrast and compare studies of how each network handled their respective coverage. Despite this, Television and sports archivists remain on the lookout, and at least two small samples of the telecast survives: a recording of Max McGee's opening touchdown and Jim Taylor's first touchdown run (Packers' second touchdown), both were shown on HBO's 1991 two-part Sports Documentary, "Play by Play: A History of Sports Television."

NFL Films had a camera crew present, and retains a substantial amount of film footage in its archives, some of which has been released for home video and cable presentations.
