Are all of the DGP's worth $175?

Definitely worth it, but do as Siddarth suggested before me and only get one (or perhaps two) of the DVDs first. It is tempting sometimes, but Effects Overload can really hinder your development. (And too much Garcia may give you stomach pains caused by laughter.)
Are they worth it. Yes
Are there better things you could spend the money on: Yes
Ultimately you are the only one who can tell if it is worth it for you.

worth it? like D ICE R said... You are the only one that can tell. For me, it was well worth the price since I perform 90% of the material. Garcia's material just fits me... Fits my style. My environment. I love it. For you, I don't know you, but there's something for everyone.
yes..they got a lot of great magic but some tricks just variation of the same handling that just be variate...
some also they take it from the previous DVDs that T11 sells..
but if you buy for collector and improve your magic well, you should buy it...^^

Actually the only stuff they have from previous "DVDs" is the stuff from Symphony which they already stated are snippets from the projects. So I think it's more fair to say Theory's Symphony took from the projects.
anyone got red mirror??
i plan to had one i think better you purchased it first later DGP...
its my opinion..

No. Absolutely not.
Buy the first three. They are gold. And if you're not in the money, just get volume 1 and 3. Even the performance reels are a joy to watch. All together they make up a mini street magic special.
The new ones.... they really suck. Even Garcia himself sucks. He's boring. Lacks the enthusiasm and energy he had in the first set. Even in explanation, sometimes he speaks rigidly and scripted with this dead look like he's pretending to be one of the Buck twins. Many of the effects don't have audience performances. It looks like they tried to give the performances some of the feel of the first set, with the whole "road trip across texas!" thing, but they just fail. They do several similar shots (hip level shot of a location or DG walking) that are slightly reminiscent but its just dead. And the actual audience performances were boring at best, except for the iCard performance.
Now, I only have 1-3 and 4 and 6. Maybe somehow volume 5 is sheer genius, but I doubt it. Seems like Garcia has been wrung dry since the original DGP came out. For me, the only seriously good thing off the new set was "On the Rocks" (looks REAL) and the iphone/ipod magic. Other notable tricks were POP! and party perception, which I've not tried, but looks like it has promise.
