res37618 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 Tomorrow is the scheduled release date for the Andre the Giant and Best of the Intercontinental Title DVD's by WWE. Of course, these are just rehashes of old Coliseum Vids, but they'll definitely be something that I'll pick up. Even though they're not SUPPOSED to come out until tomorrow, has anyone seen them anywhere yet? If Wal-Mart has them, they'll probably be in the $5.50 cheap DVD bin, since they're only retail-priced at $9.99. Best of WM and Boyhood Dream both were in that bin upon release. So, has anyone found them yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 You can order both of them online for $5.99 each on DeepDiscountDVD. That's the cheapest I've seen anywhere if what you're concerned with is the price. I haven't actually seem them on any store yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't actually seem them on any store yet. That's where I've ordered mine from already. That's pretty much the best price around unless Wal-Mart has them. If anyone HAS found them and already gotten them, can you report on them? I'm assuming they're unaltered from the Coliseum versions, with the exception of alternate commentary on the WM1 Andre match.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 I'll be checking out Wal-Mart first tomorrow for these, since I don't think they warrant $9.99 each, but I'd still like to get them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd get it just for the Michaels/Jannetty Match (for the $5.50 price) or wait till Deep Discount DVD does their semi annual 20% off sale. -Paul Jacobi- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Astro Report post Posted January 24, 2005 What was added to Andre's DVD? I guess it isn't just "Larger than Life" transfered over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larger than Life was the 1999 tape released by WWF Home Video. This is the 1985 Coliseum Home Video compilation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

res37618 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 Checked two Wal-Mart's in my area last night, and neither one had them, but they did have Armageddon 2004. Seems like Wal-Mart (at least in our area) is kinda hit-and-miss on what WWE DVD's they carry - they hadn't carried a new once since SummerSlam here where I live, and then they get Armageddon? Seems kinda erratic to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 I saw both DVDs at F.Y.E. for 9.95 yesterday, but I was holding up to find it at Wal-Mart (where it will likely be 5.50) or if my Best Buy ever decides to carry it (for 5.99, before my employee discount).
