Swans DVDs

[giant]

So just to confirm I've got this right, my optimal purchasing options appear to be:
- GF with 3 calls (@ about $10 more than the Ch 10 only option?)
- Seasons highlights showing all the good bits of the season
- the much vaunted 3 DVD set which is likely to contain semi, prelim & one other mighty victory

Is this a fair summary? Only 1st & 2nd are available at this time correct?

Gotta do something soon coz I'm already having withdrawal symptoms since FF stopped telecasting the GF replay!

I am so glad that there are bigger football tragics than me.

As far as I'm aware only the GF is currently available. I believe that the highlights and 3 dvd set are not released until 10/11/05 (according to ezydvd website).

Looks like the descriptive text on the back is unchanged - just reduced in size a bit to make way for the logos.

Yes j s, that is the barcode on mine and it's also the barcode on the sportsdelivered web site which refers to the dvd as having "a choice of Channel Ten commentary or plain soundtrack".. Just what they mean by plain soundtrack I've got no idea because mine has the 3AW and MMM calls as I've already said. I'd be stating quite clearly that I wanted the DVD with those three calls if I was placing an order.

I'm still trying to work Sam's role in the calls: is he the black hatter?.....he called the Jolly and Hall frees in the first quarter "passive" where other commentators might call them "soft".... I call them very legitimate frees (hehe) getting our own back after a long season of being on the wrong side of the ledger!

Does it include finals???

I know that it said 22 games presumably home and away, but just wondered.

For anyone (in Melbourne) that is interested

The GF DVD with Channel 10, 3AW and Triple MMM calls is available at JB Hi-Fi in the City for $27.99...may also be available at local JBs though I didnt see it at Ringwood on Saturday

The Herald Sun Shop claim they will have stock after lunch tomorrow (Thursday 13/10) at a higher price...something like $34.95-$36.95.

I was at JB Hifi in Bondi Junction today and no, they didn't have the 3 commentaries one. At least it didn't have the three logos (Ten, 3AW, MMM) on the back.

I'm waiting for the season highlights one - gotta be better than the 2003 DVD, I've heard this one has a much happier ending

That means no commentary at all! Just the crowd effects and umpire mikes.

Still has commentary on the intro part (understansable as watching people talk silently would be rather silly but they badly stuffed up the presentations. There is some kind of muffled (and inappropriate) music in the background. Someone really goofed bigtime!

This was all discussed in the first few days - I thinK Des was the first to report the problem.

I wonder if this flaw would be enough to demand a replacement of "merchantable" quality (which would have to be the new version as they are unlikely to remake the first)

Says "choice of commentary". Doesn't say whether you choose between Ch10 and nothing, or Ch10 and others. Would assume the latter.

Yeah, it also says the lap of honour...mine cuts out about halfway around...at the most

Must have been following one of you around today as I went in search of the legendary multi-commentary option. No luck in Borders, Virgin (either Myers or Martin Place), J&B or even the bloody ABC shop. They did say that other people had been asking about it today tho!!

If someone finds a central or eastern Sydney location stocking it pls let me know.

I quite like the no-commentary version at times - much closer to the feel of being there!

But yes, there is that odd audio mastering problem that was discussed earlier (I wasn't the first to report it, but I confirmed it a day or so later). The strange music (sounds like some stock royalty-free soundtrack thing) starts about the middle of the last quarter, ie: the bits that will be watched the most, and continues to the end of the disc.

Can anyone who has the multiple commentary DVD confirm if there is a "no commentary" option on that disc? It'd be a shame if the only version of that soundtrack was wrecked because of the audio problem.

Hopefully it's not the master copy of the 'no commentary' sound track that is stuffed.

Help Me!!
I live in Brisbane and the only
Premiers DVD i can find is the single commentary
one. Does anyone know where i can pick the multiple
commentary up from?

Cheers,
