Is there a market for NFL-MLB-NBA-NHL complete games?
I would rather just see highlights of seasons or certain games because watching an entire game would be too time consuming.However,complete games from defunct sports leagues would be more interesting especially the ABA and WHA.

I think there is definitely an untapped market for complete classic sporting events. I'd pay to see a lot of vintage Super Bowls, classic Celtics games, etc.
Highlights are OK, but I'd prefer the context of the full games.

I own the Summit Series set, as well as the Summit Series 2-hour highlights, and the "November to Remember" 2-disc set of the Oilers vs. Canadiens from oudoors in edmonton last year...
I will say, you gotta be a REAL fan to sit through the entire summit series. The video is mediocre at best, and there are various points where the audio drops out for 15 minutes (there will be a message telling you about this) and you'll just have a picture, and vice-versa where you'll just have the audio. Now, it's amazing to begin with that they have as well as a preserved copy of some of these games as is, but the Highlights disc is a much better value and much more re-watchable, in my opinion.
I've also bought the Gold-Medal games DVD from the 98 and 2002 mens hockey events, and will be picking up the upcoming world cup set...

Two problems.
1) We know the outcome. I kow it's the same as watching a movie when you know the ending, but IMO, there is more to movies than there is in sports.
2) Only complete seasons would work. Example, a disc of the Super Bowls would be no good because so many were clunkers. In many cases the AFC or NFC championship is the superior game. I imagine this is true for almost every sport. Look at the World Series this year. Would you want the World Series or the AL and DL Championships?

If you're just a casual fan of the sport, then no, complete games won't appeal to you. But if you're an avid fan of the sport and its history (as I am, for instance), then some of the most important games, like championship games, are worth a lot to you.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were going to give away DVDs of games on 5 promotional nights. There were also going to give away a Mario Lemieux highlights DVD for opening night.
I think 2 of the DVDs were going to be when they won their Stanley Cups, but I can't remember what the other three were.
The local Fox Sports channel is going to re- broadcast some of their 'classic' games once a week. They weren't allowed access to the games that will be on DVD.

The Niners did not steal that game from them.
The Giants folded in the 2nd half because they have no heart and it was evident by who was playing QB that day, Kerry Collins.
The Giants stole a game from the Niners.
If Joe Montana did not get injured and Craig did not fumble the Niners would be 6 time World Champions.
I am still mad at that.

"Superbowl XX please, even though I have it taped on VHS. Hell, I'd take the entire Bears season that year."
Absolutely... I loved the NFL Film's VHS about the '85 Bears. I want it on DVD!!

I'll take just the commercials from all the Superbowls prior to 1982 (I have a VHS copy of the 1969 Superbowl that looks about 100th generation!)

Maybe he is talking about the entire years highlight film and not just the Super Bowl.

I would kill for the complete seasons including the Super Bowls for the 92 and 93 season of the greatest team ever assembled.
That's right the Dallas Cowboys...
Waiting for the usual non football related crap from the haters.

I would love to own the complete games of some of the better Superbowls...All the 1970's Superbowls (esp Dallas vs Pittsburgh, Dallas vs Denver ) would be nice....
Some of the 80's Superbowls...49ers Vs Bengals (both), 85 Bears
Cowboys of the 90's.

I would pay big money for the two Stanley Cup series the Penguins won. I can't imagine why they don't do this.
I was looking forward to the promo DVDs they were giving away this season. I hope they give them out still in a scheduled way once the NHL begins again.
