I rented this DVD locally, primarily for the stills of playmates over the last 50 years. Unfortunately, this is the weakest link of this project. While the stills are comprehensive (you do get a picture of every Playmate since the first issue) they are not given enough pixilation to make it possible to enlarge them with the zoom on your DVD player. Even a first level of zoom makes the picture clearly digitized, with frustrating loss of detail; second or third levels make it even worse. Also, the enlargement is often of the part of the overall photo that is least interesting to the viewer, depending on the portrait involved. To wit, you might wind up with a nicely enlarged view of some part of the Playmate that you are least interested in, while the rest of her is offscreen. Not that this matters much, because she now looks like a bad Cubist rendition anyway.
The video portion of the DVD is good, as usual with most Playboy products. No better no worse than any other Playboy DVD. But the gallery of stills is something of a disappointment, for the reasons given above.
Bottom line: rental only.
