I purchased this blu-ray set (5 discs) from an American company through U.S. Amazon. It arrived on December 12, 2012 and I returned it, the next day, on December 13.I tested all 5 blu-rays on my Panasonic blu-ray player. There was audio, but no video. So, I got sound, but no picture. My Panasonic blu-ray player works on my other blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs.

I did some research and here is some useful information for U.S consumers.
Samsung players and most LG players will play this BBC product (coded Region Free).
Sony and Panasonic will not play this BBC product.
Many Toshiba, Sharp, Pioneer, and Denon players will not play this BBC product.
The above information is from "Burketop". Please read the commentary dated December 4, 2012 which is located under a review dated November 14, 2012. I suggest you read Burketop's full commentary for more complete and accurate information.

December 24, 2012 Update
I decided to purchase a Samsung BD-E5900 Blu-ray Player and I repurchased the Olympic set. And the Samsung actually does play this BBC product, along with other regular blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs.
So here's a brief review of the British Olympics set which I give 4 stars.
It contains both the complete opening and the closing ceremonies.
In regard to the sports coverage, if you are an Anglophile, this product is perfect for you. There is heavy coverage of British athletes, along with British commentary.
The blu-ray also shows very limited highlights of the finals of some events which feature athletes from other countries. The whole Olympic sports portion is highly edited so the video moves fast and you may only see a few minutes of some competitions, especially if it is of non-British athletes.
Please note that certain events in which the British were not notable are not shown.
Best Deals for London 2012 Olympic Games BBC (2012)
Best coverage of all the London Olympics. Full opening and closing ceremonies and great summary of the events. It's a must buy!Honest reviews on London 2012 Olympic Games BBC (2012)
For people complaining about the British 'bias' in this release: please remember it's a BBC production of an Olympic Games held in the United Kingdom!Whatever country you're from, however, you should buy this IMMEDIATELY as it is a superb overview of London 2012. With full Opening & Closing ceremonies and a pretty comprehensive retrospective of the greatest moments of the Games, this is a compendium to treasure.
If you preferred NBC's coverage, of course, you could take your chances with their DVD!
