Huskyfan82 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Has anyone noticed the NBA and MLB seem to love putting their sports on DVD? It seems like they're the two sports leagues that love putting their games on DVD. Not just highlights, FULL games! Yesterday, I picked up the 1988-1989 Pistons Championship DVD set, which had 10 games from their playoff run! (ECF's against Chicago, 6 games, and the Finals against the Lakers, 4 games). I also have the Celtics and 76ers Dynasty set which has a few games. The NHL should do this more (I do have the Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup which has Game 7 of the Finals on it). The NBA seems to be the more affordable one, baseball sets it seems are too expensive.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMcD Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 All sports are about is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. They sell DVD's and make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.I know the NFL sells the box sets of all the Super Bowls for around $200. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 In June, the NFL put out a four-disc boxset of the Steelers four 2006 playoff games from in their entirety. I know what I'm buying my father for Christmas because this is exactly what he's been looking for since the little Championship DVD was released in March.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

infrared41 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Highlight DVDs are cool to watch, especially NFL Films stuff, but I gotta ask one question. Does anyone really watch an entire game a second, third, or fourth time? That just sounds really boring to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskyfan82 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Believe me, I know sports are all about $$$$ (Sports management major). Still, I never thought I'd see the day where FULL GAMES would be put out on DVD. It's about time! As for the NFL one, I don't think they're the actual broadcasts, I think they're edited together NFL Films ones, that make it look like the real game. But the NBA, NHL, and MLB sets are the real thing!! Along with a few college football and basketball sets. As I write this, I'm watching game 5 of the '89 ECF's, Skip Caray announcing, lol.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
