DVD tutorials

[Korgoth]

Has anyone purchased any of the DVD tutorials from the valve store, who created them, are they worth the $50 price tag? Whats the scoop?

I bought the Hammer modeling one a while back. The guy gives a good talk through of the tools and how to model levels, and there is a lot of explanation about different ways of tackling stuff so I'd say it's money well spent if you want to get into mapping, and don't want to wade through pages of SDK tutorials.
