Seems like North America find it hard to adjust to change, especially in technology compared to Europe and Asia.

Blu-ray players are so cheap these days, they don't cost $500-$600 anymore you can get decent one for less than $100, and they play your DVDs too, so no big deal.

WWE has to find ways of enticing sales for Blu-rays for people paying premium...having same content for both versions won't do that which is why they focus on giving exclusive content.

People were complaining the same situation with VHS and DVD...crying on how DVD always has more extras than VHS, and so on.

I was just trying to make the point that instead of taking 9 hours of DVD content and adding exclusive footage for the BDs they have reduced the content on the DVDs so that they can add exclusive footage while keeping them 2 disc sets. If they had kept the 9 hours and made the BDs 3 discs they could of added an extra hour per disc which would be even more incentive for people to buy them over the DVDs. As it is now the BD sets with added exclusive content contain less footage than most of the DVD sets did a few years ago.

I believe if done correctly (give it 5 discs 1 with a doc and 4 with matches and moments - 14ish hours) then marketed and pushed correctly too without a doubt it could be their biggest DVD ever!

The only instance I've seen where the blurring was almost completely unnoticeable was on the first "Ladder Match" set, during the first TLC match at SummerSlam 2000. I remember watching it and thinking that it would be blurred to hell, but if you watch, you can hardly see it.

Most of the matches from '98-'00 on the recent King of the Ring set were pretty blurred, so that was why I was wondering which sets were not.

Sounds like this will be a completely awesome set.
