can you post a larger picture of the chapter listings for Vol 1? One that is legible... or at the very least tell me if they have included the wedding reception on the 1991 disc. Thanks.

The chapter listing for the 1991 disc has the flashback of the proposal and then the "Match Made in Heaven" which is the wedding.

Hey thanks for posting pictures of the USA version. I like the ice in the cooler that's a nice touch, although I think the DVD storage is much better for the UK release. I guess each has good and bad points, but I prefer the cover art on the USA version although the four volumes seem to fit in the cooler much better on the UK release.

To make up for the thinner sized of the volumes, the cooler has cardboard inserts in the front and back of the cooler so the 4 volumes sit in the center... kinda crappy.
Well That just blows. Sleeve storage is just a bad idea. Again, No idea why the U.K. gets digipaks and the U.S gets the alternative. I always considered the multiple flip style digipaks a favorite of mine as far as convenience and look. Sucks to hear we won't be getting it.

Ugh, I don't care for those sleeve cases either. Would it be too much for WWE to repeat the slim cases of the Raw 15th Anniversary set?

Wow... I guess I was so disappointed and confused by the difference that I didn't even notice that the crappy cardboard was supposed to be ice cubes...

I may just buy the individual digi packs of the ones I don't have from the UK. The US packaging sucks ass. It amazes me that they put out an anthology like this and try to cut corners like that when people are shelling out over $150 for it.

Best Buy had it for 199.99 when i saw it on the shelf last week (but the manager took it back so he couldn't sell it to me because it had a strict street date). Surprisingly Best Buy and Futureshop don't have the set on their website yet, usually they would have it by now.
BB has had it up for a while. Their stupid search engine won't bring it up unless you type "anthology" in your search

Quick SummerSlam anthology music question...

Is Demolition's entrance music intact on Summer Slam 1990?

Just got my SS set from DVDPlanet. Really lightweight compared to the Rumble set. The packs are cool with the artwork, but why the hell does Austin/Yoko got such a big spot when it's not even on the discs?

when did you place your order? Their preorders exceeded the number of units they had, so they went by first come first serve basis. Yours will likely get shipped when they receive their second batch, which is likely in the next of weeks or something.

I am just going to go to Best Buy of HMV tomorrow and pick it up. Don't really like to order boxsets online because of times where it might get damaged on arrival and don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it back and waiting for a replacement.

I like to go to the store and choose the one i want making sure no box damage or any floaters inside.

just picked up the Summerslam Anthology, very disappointed in the packaging for the individual volumes. But the set looks so awesome.

What's wrong with the individual packs? Because I was thinking of picking up volume I.
