Does anyone still buy the Blu-rays despite the Network?

[jetsonic]

So I was watching some network content in HD earlier I thought to myself it looks great for as high as a broadband comcast connection can go but then I looked at my blu-ray collection of WWE PPVs I have on my shelf that I havent put into any of my blu-ray devices in a long long time (I have the PPVs that were in blu-ray in the US from Wrestlemania 2008 till royal rumble 2012) and so I popped in Wrestlemania 25 to see a difference just now and..... MY GOD the video quality difference is huge you can see smoother movements , no big dips in quality because of connection, and the sound is even better too if you have surround since the network doesnt even do 5.1 in any of their videos!

I find that a reason for myself to collect all the PPV blu-rays theyve released since Wrestlemania 28.

Heck I wanna collect every WWE released blu-ray since they seem to be cheaper now than they were before.

I don't. I was only buying the Big 4 PPVs previously. I did buy a few docs as well which I have stopped doing. A lot of them have made their way to the Network.

No, unless it's something with rare content like that WWE Attitude Unreleased DVD that came out a year or so ago or the upcoming WWF Unreleased matches from the 80's-90's. It was funny seeing Austin wear pink wrist bands and armbands during the Kuwait tour in 96.

I get mania every year and I get the sets with a lot of stuff that's not of the network or on a wrestler or subject I'm interested in but in reality I only get 2 or 3 a year depending what they put out.I got a friend that won't get the network but buys all the blurays they put out.

My largest TV is limited to 720p so BRs vs Network makes little difference to me.

Nope, my last Blu Ray was the Eric Bischoff one and then a week later I had subscribed to the network

I've heard the docs on the network have been chopped up from their original length.

Yep usually by 15 or 20 minutes.Then there's usually about a half hour of deleted scenes.

I stil buy the Blu Rays/DVDs because if the net goes out, I have back-up plan.

[thetower52]

I will if it's a documantry that's not on the network

[Shai]

I buy some of the Docs that interest me but that's it.

Not at all. I used to have hundreds of wrestling DVDs and blu Rays. Between most WWE, WCW, and ECW stuff being on the network, and most good TNA matches being on YouTube, I was able to get rid of them. My wrestling DVD collection is now just compilations of ROH and Japanese stuff.

[chazraps]

I still buy them, usually several at a time during 4th of July and Black Friday sales to play catch-up on what I missed.

Somewhat related question. Is the Royal Rumble doc any good?

[StuntGranny®]

Nah, I don't. The last WWE blu-ray/DVD I bought was the Jerry Lawler set about a week ago at a thrift store for $2.

Unless it's a blu-ray of a movie I REALLY like, a record, or a video game, I try to avoid physical media. I've cut down a lot over the years by converting to digital and the extra space/extra money is worth it.

[Reflecto]

I buy them more than I did before- but that also comes from getting a job and being able to afford them.

That is why I still buy the blu rays and DVDs. Plus I travel often. So I can toss some dvds/blu rays into my bag and bring them with me.

Only Mania every year since it also has the Hall of Fame. The last Blu Ray doc I picked up was the Paul Heyman one and I can't recommend that one enough.

[repomark]

Used to buy every DVD they released and had them all up until the demise of Silvervision (RIP). Then the network came and I quickly stopped buying PPVs and WWE then stopped really making as much of an effort with extras and presentation in dvd releases. Now I will only buy documentaries like the Royal Rumble one or superstar docs.

Miss the joy of collecting them, but can't justify it anymore.

[Allie Kitsune]

I don't, but I think about it sometimes, since the Network feels lacking in the Doc department...
