Thank you, I will order those with DX One Last Stand and John Cena Experience which will cost me $130 bucks, pretty expensive but I am sure it will be worth it!

Eventually, yes, but why do it now and leave a lot of money on the table? The adoption rate of Blu-ray as a format is a hell of a lot slower than was the case for DVD. It would be asinine of them to just shut off a huge segment of their market like that. It would be like Sony stopping production of the Playstation 2 and releasing games for it in 2006 when they brought out the PS3. There is simply too big of an installed user base for standard DVD for them to just ignore.

Traditionally, WWE has been a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to format changes. They didn't even release all PPV's on DVD until 2002-well after it had become the #1 format. The fact that they continued to release stuff on VHS as late as 2004 should tell you everything. Also, and I don't know any other way to say this without being stereotypical, but a lot of wrestling fans that I come into contact with don't exactly seem to be rolling in money. Hell, I read posts on wrestling forums from people who say they still tape WWE TV every week......on a VCR. In 2011. It would behoove WWE to continue to release on DVD for quite some time.

In 2001 they released every ppv and compilation on DVD (besides No Way Out 2001, which is a shame since that was one of the best ppvs of 2001).

It's true though about WWE being slow on format changes. Even UFC haven't even started to release all their ppvs on Blu-ray, with exception to 100...they have have been pumping out the best of's and compilations though.

I read that later this year (or maybe next year) TNA might release their first blu-ray...i could see it being a Best of Impact since switching to HD in late 2008. In Canada we don't even get Spike HD so would be great to have.

I don't think DVDs are going anywhere, otherwise they wouldn't have made BD Players to play and upgrade DVDs. I thought the reason for getting rid of videos was because of the extremely bad quality, and them not lasting long without getting chewed up.

Looks like WWE are producing a King of the Ring set;

Too bad it's not an Anthology.

SexualPudding

Yup. No Way Out is exactly why I said 2002 rather than '01.

Owen Hart better be in it, Owen is the King of Harts!

Pre-release photos for OMG are posted...again WWE decides to flip flop on the content which is not printed on the packaging.

VikingsSooners

The inside artwork is awful and they need to make up their minds about printing contents on the packaging! I am getting the Blu-Ray, I am sure it will be the same awful artwork inside

dan31655

Not sure if it's going to scan or not but atleast two of the k-marts near me put out money in the bank early. Price is $14.99.

rmw650

I totally agree with you on the content format. Either insert the contents like they did in the past or just print them on the side. Enough of the bouncing around already!

Mark, any chance you'll be making inserts for the OMG DVD coming out on 8/23/2011?

rmw650

Dan, let us know if you manage to get it earlier than the street date indicated. Hoping it works.

Got my You Shoot Perry Saturn & You Shoot Danny Doring dvds, going to watch them this weekend. Looking forward to picking up MITB, can't wait to see the first WWE ***** rated match by Dave Meltzer in years.

The Bret/HBK cover has been revealed:

Looks pretty good, simple and effective.

VikingsSooners

Not liking the cover, the old cover is better

SexualPudding

I much prefer this new one. Sure, it's basic, but there's nothing wrong with that at all, imo. I'm tired of all the loud obnoxious ones where they try to cram 30 images on the cover. It will be especially nice if they keep going with this "rivalry" series, where they all hopefully keep the same design.

md2810

I like the 'concept' of the cover but that black background on the Shawn vs. Bret looks stupid (its like someone forgot to remove it).

Also in answer to a question a few posts back... Yes I'll do a OMG insert, if anyone wants it. Also I have a Stars of the 21st Century Blu-Ray insert if anyone's interested.

rmw650

Count me in Mark for the DVD version of OMG inserts. Thanks ahead of time.

TehOH1

I could go for a 21st Century Blu-Ray insert.

ROH Wrestling is currently having a Buy 3 Get 1 Free Sale. It runs through Monday and is valid only on ROH titles.
Not the best deal out there, but I figured it was worth a mention since their sales have been fairly scarce of late.

Anyone wanna bet that when SummerSlam comes out on DVD Punk will come out to the ring to his old "New Nexus" theme?

sg2386

Probably not...WWE likely secured the rights to use it.

Even THQ has it for WWE '12, and usually that's a good indication if the theme would be on DVD releases.

md2810

Nope, I think it will be his new theme, it's going to be on the WWE '12 video game, so WWE may have secured the rights to it in perpetuity. Only time will tell I guess.

md2810

What are the odds we'd reply at exactly the same time
