I would definitely buy SBXX and any other complete game with Walter Payton. I'd also buy some older pre-Payton games.

I'd also be interested in NHL & possibly MLB as well.

As much as I like NASCAR I don't think I would ever buy a race on DVD though.

Looks like a great set. Hope they come out with a set for the Cubs after they win the series this year.

I definitely would pay the extra money for complete games. I used the DVD Recorder this year and recorded the entire Spurs playoff run to the NBA Championship. I still have some of the Super Bowls taped and I will pull them out on occasion and watch them again. I would definitely like the option to buy some of them on DVD.

While I would like to have DVDs of some full games I consider classics, I seriously doubt my favorite team, the Houston Oilers, would be very well represented in releases, even though that Oilers-Dolphins Monday Night Football game from 1978 was quite the game (and I suppose, since the 1970s Steelers are overly fawned over, their two AFC Championship games vs. the Oilers might be made available should something like this ever happen.)

I can think of a certain game from the Oilers I would buy! 41-38 ring a bell? One of my favourite Bills games. Unlike 4 other games I can think of... Damn those painful memories.

Just about all the sports highlight videos/DVDs that I've seen aren't very good. For many of the highlights, they don't give you the TV angle, which is the best angle. Instead, they show it from a different angle, which is often much less dramatic. For example, if they are showing a highlight of some player hitting a home run or someone making a clutch 3-pointer, I want to see the ball flying into the stands or the ball going into the basket. If they used the TV angle, you would see that, but a lot of times they give you a different angle, for example a camera that is focused on the player the entire time, so you can see their reaction. I'd rather see where the ball is going, instead of some guy's face the whole time. If you are going to do that, at least put multiple angles on the disc so that we can change between angles if we want.

I'd also rather have complete games (using the TV angle) than highlights. Sometimes they don't even show the best highlights.

I'd like to see made available some olde-tyme baseball footage. I've seen Willie Mays make his famous catch dozens of times, but hardly any other playing film of him, one of the greatest of all time. Or Ted Williams, or Mickey Mantle, or even some really old stuff of Ruth and Gehrig. It's out there, somewhere.

Yeah, Id definitely buy Superbowl 38 (Panthers-Patriots). Granted the Cats lost but it was a heck of a game. Of course Im sure if they ever released the entire game, it would be fullframe rather than widescreen, which would probably piss me off just enough to not buy it.

There is a site that sells a lot of historical college football and basketball games on DVD, Collegiate Classics. Unfortunately, they have some games, such as the last two years of BCS games, only available in full screen even though most of them were broadcast in high-def. I just dont understand the problem with releasing these in widescreen, especially when in most cases its so easy to release one version that will "fill the screen" on both 4:3 and 16:9 TVs.

Complete seasons are not really feasible, say take the NBA for example.
I really wouldn't mind having the entire post-season run of say the Spurs in a complete DVD set. And maybe that combined with the really exciting regular season games.

But complete seasons will sell to hardcore sports fans.
Say the complete 04-05 San Antonio Spurs season
-All 82 games
-Including playoffs!
->anamorphic widescreen where available!
->uncensored timeout footage!
->multi-angle views on some of the best plays!
->optional audio with sports commentary on OR hear the game directly as if you were in the front row!
-> Extras include halftime locker room footage, postgame interviews, and documentary of the season
->Also player biographies, full career stats, etc.

If commercials cut, this can be a nice 25 or so disc set.
Make it like a limited run of say 5,000 copies; get some player autographs in there; or a team photo signed by all the players.

Even MSRP at like $249.95 and I dont see how this will NOT sell.

The hardcore fans will snatch it up and it will be one hell of a collector's item!

I've got (both). XVI I got off of eBay, XXIII I converted from VHS to DVD. The quality of the source material for both was pretty grainy, but they're quite watchable and enjoyable (except for the endings).

I saw a Detroit Red Wings 2 disc DVD with Five Classic Red Wings games as voted by the fans. Packaging said the games are in their entirety. I wish they would release sets like this for all NHL teams, especially the Penguins. I think there is an untapped market for this type of product for all sports leagues. Rabid fans will buy this kind of stuff. Hell, I'm a Penguins fan living in Atlanta, and I plan on buying tickets to the games in Pittsburgh when they are giving away the Pens Classic games on DVD. 6 games in all. My poor Mom has to go to the games just to get me the DVDs.

Wake up NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. We want product!!!!!!!!!!

I also just bought The History of The Pittsburgh Steelers 2 Disc DVD.

I would definitely buy a dvd set containing the complete games (maybe minus the western conference finals) of the 2003 MN Wild's playoff run. They didn't with the Cup that year, but just the whole excitement and suspense of the elimination games and the comebacks were incredible.

In the UK, we have select football (or ''soccer'') games available, and they sell pretty well. They're the full games, and they don't have any features, but they retail at the equivalent of about $8. I have a couple.

They're mostly finals, or truly great games. Some are even from the 50's and 60's.

Are any of them European Cup finals, and more importantly, do ANY of them not feature English teams winning?

I'm baffled that there isn't more of a market for the complete games. The Red Sox set looks awesome for the serious fan. Aside from licensing from the broadcaster, the cost to produce this sort of set has to be pretty low. Just take the games' broadcast, edit out the commercials, add some chapter stops, and you're done.

Kind of a limited market but then also limited cost thing. I bet the NFL could easily get some sales for the replay of the superbowl. And put it in anamorphic widescreen for all the DVD nuts too.

The Nfl sunday ticket this year has a feature called "short cuts" where they edit out everything but the action on every game every week down to 30 minutes per game. You could easily release a short cuts of a team's entire season.

The retirement of Mark Messier reminds me how bad I want to see the complete NY Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup and Eastern Conference finals games.

If you really wanted a copy of that Super Bowl and didn't mind that it was on a Patriots themed DVD, The New England Patriots Super Bowl XXXVIII Champions DVD has a bonus feature on it that is the World Broadcast of the game. It is just the plays only and is not in widescreen. Dick Stockton and Daryl Johnson are the announcers. Total game time is about 1:10.

I have been recording all the patriot games since their first 2003 playoff game through SB38 & 39. I did record their 2001 playoff run and SB on VHS and haven't transfered the tapes to DVD yet.
I have their complete season last year on DVD from local broadcast and directv. The picture quality is outstanding and in dolby stereo. I did buy their 1985 championship game off ebay and the quality was horrible, but later found a guy on ebay with the same game and the quality is very good.
I have also bought the Patriots SB DVD's and 3 games to glory DVD's. All winners ;-)
I am building my game collection

I almost posted about short cuts in my response above. I watched about 15 minutes of the short cuts and had to turn it off. I have concluded that some dead time between plays is not a bad thing. I may try watching short cuts again later this week but it was hard on the ears and brain to watch on Sunday night.
