Yea, I was just hoping I had that senitype or it was re-issue from a previous released dvd. Obviously not.

The Digital Bits site contacted Best Buy about Blu-ray discs including the same exclusives when The Golden Compass came out. They said they are trying to work with the studios so that Blu-ray discs will also include the exclusive. It doesn't help for the senitype, but hopefully future releases will have the same exclusives on regular DVD and Blu-ray.

FIRST LOOK AT WHAT'S ON THE NEW ROH KOCH DVD RELEASES AND MORE
by Mike Johnson @ 2008-05-20 10:22:22


A partial list of matches scheduled for the next ROH DVD releases that come out on 7/8

ROH Greatest Rivalries:
*Samoa Joe vs. Homicide for the ROH title, Wauwatosa, WI, 7/23/04
*BJ Whitmer vs. Jimmy Jacobs in a steel cage, Detroit, MI, 3/31/07
*AJ Styles (with Mick Foley) vs. Jimmy Rave, Lake Grove, NY, 9/17/05

ROH Best in the World:
*Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi, New York, NY, 10/1/05
*Jay and Mark Briscoe vs. Naruki Doi & Shingo, Liverpool, UK, 3/3/07
*CM Punk vs. Terry Funk, Philadelphia, PA 9/20/03

wow, Joe vs Kobashi on the retail dvd! Hope they keep it without commentary. AJ vs Rave is entertaining, certainly beats what both are currently doing. And whitmer and jacobs in the cage is insane (resulting in missing teeth, a leg fracture and a bloody mess afterwords.

I picked up Maina on Blu-Ray. It is simply amazing.

Also went by Movie Stop yesterday and found one of the few wwf dvds I lacked, being Mania 15 for 8.99. They had many other rare titles like ECW Guilty as Charged, Triple H the Game, and some other great TNA ones. So check out your local movie stop for some good finds. They had Vengeance and Survivor Series 2001 last week for 6.99 but I already had them otherwise a great deal.

The imbecile employee at FYE told me that the Wrestlemania 24 Blu Ray doesn't exist and it wasn't in the upcoming releases. i told him that I knew for a fact that it was supposed to be released today, but he arrogantly told me that I had incorrect information.

Is the complete Hall of Fame ceremony included in the Blu-Ray set?

i don't see why not. the ppv was about 3 hours and 45 minutes (disc one) and the hof is about 4 hours give or take (disc 2)

i don't like how the battle royale is on disc 3. even though i know what happened, it would have been nice to pop in disc one and watch it

oh, and did they still have the bit where the lights go out in the middle of the womans match?

xage 05-20-08 09:22 PM

Were there any exclusive sticker for the one which comes with a senitype in Bestbuy?

DangerousG 05-20-08 09:31 PM

Is it just me or is the dvd not in widescreen?

GLENDALEFALCON 05-20-08 10:58 PM

'WM XXIV" wasn't widescreen on my 19" tube TV set, but I haven't watched on
my HDTV set yet.

Ric Flair's full 1 hour + speech was fantastic! Everybody needs to watch it.

:scratch2: It doesn't matter what T.V. you watch it on, you can still tell if it's widescreen or not.

Both of these will be "must owns" for me! I hope they keep the price low and push these things to the moon. ROH deserves more attention. I think ROH has actually passed the original ECW for me. Wow. I can't believe I said that.

Hey Throwback I am shocked you did not get the Wal-Mart version since is is specially packed.

So not all the Best Buys got in the Senitype?

mine didnt', even though i didn't know one existed until reading this thread, but there wasn't any special attatchments to any of the dvds.

had a question in regards to the hof, apparently, Flair gave thanks to Benoit in his speech, and was wondering if they took that out or not?

hope to dive into it tonight.

I just got done watching Hall of Fame. If there was a reference to Benoit, it was edited out. I thought I had read Flair said something about Benoit during his speech. I also have 2 questions. Did they also edit out any comments about Sting? I'm almost positive I didn't hear Sting mentioned. And didn't Flair take a shot at the Rock about him going too long? I thought I read that somewhere, but didn't hear it on the dvd.

In which he should still be able to tell.

Either way, the blu-ray looks amazing. I don't have USA in HD yet (Brighthouse,) so this is the first time seeing WWE in HD. Like I said, amazing.

Sweet pick ups dude, the Wrestlemania sets are released next month in the UK.

CaseyB 05-21-08 09:49 AM

I picked up the Wrestlemania set yesterday. I haven't had a chance to watch any of it yet, but I was a little dissapointed Flair and Michaels weren't on the cover. I'm really looking forward to watching this.

Quack 05-21-08 09:58 AM

Just picked up mine at FYE, they seemed to have a bunch of copies.

bmp5524 05-21-08 10:37 AM

I'm not sure if this has been discussed but does WWE plan on releasing all PPVs on Blu Ray now that WM has been released

I think WWE wants to continue the trend, like how WM15 was the first DVD released then Summerslam 99 and slowly put out the big 5 on DVD then finally every ppv.

I think this year they will also release Summerslam and Survivor Series on Blu-ray then probably next year or year after they will start distributing all ppvs.

I think WWE wants to wait til Blu-ray is the standard, right now almost 99.9% of people have DVD players so makes sense for them to release on DVD for atleast a year or two.

Dave88 05-21-08 11:43 AM

Just got mine here in Gibraltar, Europe. My local store carries Region 1 DVD's. Amazing purchase

Honestly, I don't think BR's going to be the standard in the VHS to DVD transition sense...so until there's a clear, popular and very superior successor to DVD, they should be releasing titles on DVD for a while.

I am having a similar issue with WMXXIV on DVD. When i first watched it, i did so on my widescreen hdtv downstairs and all was fine. When i later took it into my bedroom to watch it on a standard 4:3 tv, the image was cropped. Not squished or altered but cropped on the sides. I found this strange since when you play a widescreen movie on a standard tv it doesn't automatically zoom in and present you with the largest pic possible and crop of the sides....it instead shows you the entire image as originally created in letterbox form with black bars at the top and bottom. I have never seen a dvd adjust itself like this before, and i would prefer to watch it in 16:9 (as originally aired) on my 4:3 tv.... any suggestions on how to adjust this?

jpb07 05-21-08 04:49 PM

Not sure if this is a settings issue or not but if the WWE has figured out a way to master a disc which automatically fits either WS or FS, this should become the standard on all DVDs. Finally get rid of the FS only release crap once and for all.

Sure is. Went to another Best Buy by my job and they had a ton of copies, just no senitype.

Best buy is quickly becoming a pain in the ass when it comes to these wwe exclusives.

A specially produced image produced from a film cell, methinks.

i think this is what happened. since for the hell of it, i put it in 4x3 on my hdtv, and it cropped the image.

on the hof, there was a Sting refernce (when flair mentioned his best oponents) the benoit reference was edited out (i think it was when he mentioned the wcw guys that helped him out during the mid 90's wcw days, like eddie, dean, mongo, ect.

I thought about the FYE tin, but decided on the Wal-Mart 2-pack.

Like a lot of others were saying, I watched Wrestlemania on my plain, old, ordinary TV and it played fullscreen. I played it on my computer with a widescreen monitor and it played in widescreen (complete w/ the little WWEHD logo in the upper left corner).
