It look as if this will be released on Blu Ray, 03/09/2010. It states that it will include three of the Saints best games in their entire broadcast. However, as I read the games, it doesn't look like any postseason games are included. A bit of a bummer. I thought that I had recorded the OTA broadcast on Windows Media Center but to my dismay, it didn't record. While I will certainly pick this up, I wonder how I can get a copy of the Super Bowl broacast in HD?

Amazon has updated their description of the BD as follows:

Quote:
Relive all the thrilling moments of the 2009 season with this exciting Blu-Ray disc, from training camp right through their triumph in Miami, with action from every regular-season and playoff game--the cliffhangers, comebacks and unforgettable moments. Hear all the sideline sound, player and coaches wires and locker room celebrations as the cameras and microphones of NFL Films, along with exclusive-to-BluRay features that recapture the thrills and drama of the Saints super season--a championship that restored hope and pride to the Crescent City.

Can I get a copy minus that?

If it had like the Minnesota game & the Dolphin comeback I'd buy.

This, and I'm a BIG NFL fan, I'll pass on (and I'm a BIG HD fan as well!).

They release these every year. Nothing new. There is the above BD but there is a DVD package that includes 3 games on a DVD (I believe). If you want the 3 games, buy the 3-disc DVD set.



Rach: I've been a Saints fan for 22 years and I've seen a few instances of Saints apparel showing up on people in the outside world - not a lot but more than the norm, which is just about none.

As I understand it, the BD will include the 3 games from the DVD set. We see a bit of Saints apparel in Houston but the bandwagon has gone nationwide.

I was on the NFLSHOP website the other day and the BD seems to be the same as the DVD. The BEST OF 2009 (? - don't remember title) 3-DVD set is available separate and also bundled with the Super Bowl DVD. I don't think the 3 games (Miami, Atlanta, one other) will be on the BD disc. Maybe they will have a 4 disc set (1 BD, 3 DVDs) but I don't see how or why they would put the 3 games onto the BD. It (S)ain't happenin!

There's also a Saints v. Vikings NFC Championship game DVD sold on NFLSHOP but be warned because Amazon.com's listing states that it is a DVD-R made 'on demand'.




I'm sure there will be a large supply of these and I'l just get it off eBay for a fraction of the cost.



I'm from Cleveland so there are Saints fans nationwide.

Hey Brian,


What would be the downside of a DVD-R of the NFC Championship game? quality? video problems? Just curious as I have thougth about getting it. I could download at the site listed above but what kind of download speed would you need to download a 4GB file? Anyone?

Not sure if there would be any downside. I just know some (including myself) want pressed discs. I don't have an answer for what download speed to select.

i might try to download before I buy from the NFL site. I have a relatively slow download speed. We shall see. Thanks.

 

[wvuwhat]

Who dat?!

 

[tony123]

WHO DAT! I travelled back to NOLA to watch the game with family and friends. The game may have been in Miami, but the place to be was NOLA! 40 year Saints fan here, and this is a must have.

Does anybody know if they're planning to release a "road to the Super Bowl" 2-disc, 4-game on BD, as they did with the Steeler's?


I hate to spend money on the one game, if they're going to offer a multi-game set. I'm not interested in DVD, just BD.

Don't know but I think there is more to come from NFL Films this summer. There is an ad on this BD indicated that.


The BD is an overview of the season with highlights from every game including the playoffs and Super Bowl. So there isn't a full game replay of anything on this disk.


But it's very well done and great memento from the greatest season in Saints' history!


Who dat say "Stand up and get crunk!"

 

[Rach]

I started this thread and forgot to reply after I saw the BD. True, it's just an overview of the season but what a season it was. I am now reluctant to buy the 3 best games dvd as I heard the aspect ratio is not widescreen. Ridiculous.

More BD news from my favorite Saints' bulletin board - SaintsReport.com

Quote:
My wife sent an e-mail to nfl films asking about any more Saints DVDs and got this response:


First of all, thanks for your feedback on the Saints Championship DVD. We had a great time making it and are so glad you are enjoying it. All of us here appreciate what this season means to Saints fans and we wanted to make the film just as memorable.


We have a forthcoming release due in stores on 6/2. It is a package of the network broadcasts of the three post-season games plus the week 13 game vs. Washington. The BluRay version has a special trivia track on the Super Bowl broadcast which I think you will enjoy.


We also will have a plethora of Saints features in the new season of NFL Films Presents on the NFL Network, when the series returns in September.


Thanks again for your feedback, if you have any other questions please let me know.


Regards,

I think I'm going to hold off on buying ANY videos until I know what's going to be out..


I did tape the SB as well as most of the fourth quarter and OT of the NFC Championship Game.

 

[David_W]

I agree. I'm very pleased with the Steelers 'Road to the Super Bowl' four game set, and glad I didn't waste money on other discs.

 

[Rach]

6/2. Great news!!

 

[David_W]

Here's a link to the announcement at High-Def Digest. Great news, because these sets offer a good dose of football for the buck.
