Torn between watching tonight on iTunes or waiting until I get the actual blu ray.

Confirmed. Rigged.

Hey, what the hell. No bonus material included, but I went ahead and purchased it. Besides Doug Loves Movies stuff, I don't buy shit from Itunes. I guess I'll just download the bonus material when someone inevitably posts it somewhere. Thanks for the heads up OP. :tu

[barakz21]

I'm thinking abot getting it.. For 12.99, do you guys think it's worth it? I've never bought anything from iTunes, so I'm not sure.

[baseline bum]

Damn, I can't use itunes on Linux, so will have to wait for the Blu-Ray.

For 12.99, is it worth purchasing? I never bought stuff ok iTunes, so I need others' opinion on this..

[baseline bum]

Oh nice, it's on Google Play for $9.99 to buy, $3.99 to rent.

:lol of course. Well, I had a hundred bucks in my itunes account it would take me forever to use, so might as well spend it on the Spurs.

Well, I'm watching it right now, drinking some mescal, and feeling quite happy with my purchase. But it's in some itunes video format, crashed my VLC, so obviously has their shit DRM. Good PQ, ready to go on the journey to 5!

[capek]

Start's with 6, as you'd expect, then I nice segment on Kawhi. Now Timmy. :cry

[TampaDude]

Downloading it now...might also get 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007 while I'm at it. :hat

[capek]

[look_at_g_shred]

Damn just cried my eyes outwhen it got to the end of game 5

[Budkin]

Ok so how is it?? Does it truly capture how amazing our journey to redemption was?

[ElNono]

Son, when you gonna post the rojadirecta link?

I've been looking, tbh, nothing on nzb yet... I have the BluRay ordered on Amazon...

[stephen jackson]

its not as good as the other ones
even of the past few years, they mailed it in....
whatever its expected still good to relive the memories a lil tho

Knew it. Fuck these templated pieces of shit. The old champ videos of the 80s and 90s were the best.

[capek]

Ya, pretty much agree. It was serviceable, but not particularly inspired.

[barakz21]

:lol of course. Well, I had a hundred bucks in my itunes account it would take me forever to use, so might as well spend it on the Spurs.

couldn't wait for your opinion, and ended up buying it. :lol Pretty much worth it! :toast

[manufan10]

So it's not all of the NBA mini-movies like someone had suggested? :lol

[barakz21]

BTW, just curious.. The 03 one had a music video by the red hot chili peppers at the end.. Did the 05 and 07 ones have it as well? I only got the CDs, so I'm not sure if that was it or I missed out on special features.

[Spur|n|Austin]

It was entertaining for sure, but as said above - the prior dvds/blurays have been better, a bit more detail oriented. A lot of it could be that since the end of Game 5, we've pretty much all been watching youtube championship videos fairly (OK very) regularly, so we may be a little numb. Def still :cry there at the end tho.

I'm excited to see what bonus materials are on the actual blu ray.

[JR3]

I'm torn... May just wait for bluray from amazon. I need the YouTube videos to wear off anyways as someone mentioned...

[moisaenz]

it is just all the mini movies ...oh well

[T Park]

It was pretty much the one YouTube video, with Ahmad Rashad doing the narrating.

[will_spurs]

it is just all the mini movies ...oh well

All the Finals mini-movies have been put together on one YouTube video and I almost fell asleep watching it. Definitely not on the same level as "The Beautiful Game" (Parts 1 & 2) or "Reborn from the Ashes" or some others. Disappointing.

[dg7md]

Yeah...we were fucked...no fucking way we'd make it back to the Finals, right? :lol

Both you and I were legendary cliff jumpers... so we can't talk. :lol You should read my big post (now an anti-jinx post tbh) after we lost game 2 of the Finals. I had a huge meltdown. :lol

[siraulo23]

i was about to go ahead and buy it from itunes but somebody's mentioned it's just all mini movies from nba.com? no way...

if half of the 57 min duration is never before seen BTS footage i'll buy it for sure again, (i have already pre ordered from amazon)

A big part of it looks like the mini-movies, but there is more to it than that. I went ahead and got 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007 so I have the complete collection. :hat

[Budkin]

I'll most likely pick it up at Best Buy or Target the day of release. That's what I've always done in the past here in Austin.

[SpursFan86]

It's not as good as the older ones. They spent a lot less time talking about the first 3 rounds (pretty sure they spent less than a minute on the Portland series), and focused mainly on the Finals. I enjoyed it, but like others have said, the majority of the footage came from the mini-movies that NBA put up on YouTube. I had literally just watched all 5 mini-movies from the Finals a few days before, so it was kinda bad timing for me lol. Felt like I was having deja-vu or some shit.

It's only $12 though. I bought it mainly for the memorabilia aspect so I can have it in my collection with the other 4 championship DVDs. I'm content with the purchase.

[Drachen]

It's $9.99 on Google Play

The NBA used to go all-out on these things in the 90s. The 99 DVD is far and away the best Spurs championship video. The best one I have seen period was the 2000 Lakers championship DVD where they talked a lot about Phil Jackson coming in and making the team do simple fundamentals like Gene Hackman in Hoosiers. The 2001 DVD the next year was pretty lousy by comparison, and none of the DVDs have been very good since. The 1983 championship video for the Sixers is really good also, since they talk about the other series and have a nice piece on the Spurs team that came so close to forcing a Game 7 of the WCF against LA.

[Budkin]

If you want to see how good these used to be grab yourself a copy of this:

It has all of the videos up to the Pistons in 2004.

[SpurPadre]

Anyone know what the bonus features will be on the blu-ray?

[ElNono]

- A special on the Pendergraph to Ayres name change
- The ability to take a selfie with the BluRay case

[Sean Cagney]

Knew it. Fuck these templated pieces of shit. The old champ videos of the 80s and 90s were the best.

Man after the 2003 one the Spurs had when they showed the whole 4th quarters of the closeout games it got bad, the 2005 one was not near that! They started to fall off badly after 03 IMO and I didn't even buy with 07 after the 2005 one. I agree with you fully though, the ones from the 80's and 90's were incredible! I wish the Spurs had more then :)

[alfredbird]

If I purchased on Google Play, Can I download to my PC and play this vedio with other softwares?

[ChumpDumper]

If I purchased on Google Play, Can I download to my PC and play this vedio with other softwares?Not directly as far as I can tell. Will see if a flash recording program might capture it sometime this weekend.

[Holden_Caulfield]

can i torrent this?

Why the smart ass response? Oh, well, that's still better than a bonus feature on that red headed shit talking about sandwiches and how he's been able to con his way into the team for all these years and won't go away. Actually, now that I think about it, that could be a fascinating psychological case study, tbh.

:lol chill, just joking around.

I tried to look for more info on what extra might be included, but nothing. At least on Amazon it says the BluRay is 75 mins... that's about 17 mins longer than the itunes version. It's not a lot of extra time, tbh, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot.

Haha, I know I was just joking back. We good, man, we good. Yeah if amazon is right, and they do tend to put up erroneous info on their prerelease videos, that would make up around 17 minutes of bonus features, tops. That's not good. I might have to hold back on this until black Friday, tbh.

I thought about that. It's entirely possible there are no extras and it's the same exact content as on iTunes or Google Play. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[32fastest]

So how much is it? I had been seeing it for 20 and now it's 29. I was gonna wait and pick one up at best buy like in the past but if I can find it cheaper on line I will

[davidbowie]

are they in stores right now in SA?

[AOMrep]

Yes, I just bought the Blu Ray/DVD combo at Best Buy. The bonus footage is extremely short. Hell, even the main part barely lasted through the lunch my wife and I were having while watching it. Really, IMO, one of the absolute worst releases for a Spurs championship video in terms of extras. Just felt thrown together. I guess they know we'll buy it no matter what's in it, huh.

Like the others have said its worth it as a memorabilia piece, but for a Blu Ray with so much room for extras, this is just bad. I think the extras totaled maybe 20 min. I support the Spurs/NBA however I can, but they truly just tossed some ho hum five min long "extras" that just don't live up to expectations.

[manufan10]

Haven't been able to find one here, but I'll be in San Antonio this weekend, so I hope I'm able to pick one up while I'm there.

Thanks for the heads up and info! :tu

[ViceCity84]

Not even a Danny Green loves snakes part of the extras?

[ViceCity84]

Sounds like a rushed project,but heck no one expected the Spurs to win the championship.I bet if Heat won the 3-peat,Championship DVD would of been a bonanza.
2003 Spurs DVD-Still the best

2003 is BY FAR the best.

[manufan10]

I loved the '05 DVD. Opening up with Gervin talking about the Spurs and the city of San Antonio. Always has been my favorite.

[manufan10]

[hater]

Fuck apple

[UZER]

Man talk about rushed. The thunder series deserved more time.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Disappointed with this video, I think I have more footage on my TV than what this "combo" DVD has.

[Sean Cagney]

Man talk about rushed. The thunder series deserved more time.

Yep, that is why since 05 I have not gotten one of these DVD's and I will pass on this one too. I have the 99 on tape and the 03 (THE BEST by far) and got the 05 one as well, I will stay there. I might watch this online if it makes it there, if not forget it.

[james evans]

I got this in the mail today from amazon and it's not that great. This is 2014, a bluray should be loaded with hours of extras. Shold be at least 2 hours of extras with a 2 hour feature. The nba got over big time with this bluray.

[Budkin]

Has anyone seen the Heat ones from the past couple of years? I wonder how they compare?

[Typical London Boy]

Judging by the reviews, I'm honestly tempted to just send this back to Amazon for a refund when it eventually arrives. Seriously, a 57-minute feature, 20 minutes of extras and none of the series-clinching fourth quarters? Pathetic.

[timtonymanu]

The Heat DVDs were terrible from what I remember.

Not surprised about the reviews being meh. I'll still keep my copy as memorabilia.

[313]

Both you and I were legendary cliff jumpers... so we can't talk. :lol You should read my big post (now an anti-jinx post tbh) after we lost game 2 of the Finals. I had a huge meltdown. :lol
I don't know why but I was surprisingly calm after game 2. I said they were going to win both in MIA, and they did. The whole year I just had a feeling that this team would come back from 6 and that's exactly what they did.

[crc21209]

Yeah this Blu ray was very dissapointing. They rush thru the regular season and first 3 rounds within the first 15-20 mins. The Blazers series is seriously like a 1 min recap. The Thunder series is also rushed thru too fast. The "extras" consist of an Ahmad Rashad interview with Tony that was previously shown on NBA TV, a Steve Smith interview with Tim that was also previously shown on NBA TV, a "Spurs way" 4-5 minute feature narrated by Michael Wilbon that was previously shown on ESPN, and a trailer for this Blu ray. Thats it. No new footage, no actual game footage from any series. Very, very, very, WEAK championship DVD/Blu ray.

It makes the 07 dvd sound like the 03 one. :lol

i said that too. i knew we would win game 3. i came up here and basically guaranteed a game 3 victory. i knew we'd win easily. we gave them game 2 by missing freethrows. i wasn't concerned

Digital Downloads are taking too much money away from DVD and BR releases.. Studios don't invest extra money in that stuff as much..

[james evans]

Digital Downloads are taking too much money away from DVD and BR releases.. Studios don't invest extra money in that stuff as much..
Shout Factory and Synapse does. These 2 companies are killing the horror genre right now. Shout factory is the best. September 23rd they have a 15 disc Halloween box set being released with a lot of new interviews, behind the scenes, and some new commentaries. The nba makes billions per year, for this dvd to take a whole month to make, there is no excuse for not having the entire OT of game 6 in the WCF, a 5 minutes behind the scenes look at each player(even cory joseph and sorry ass Ayres), a 2 hour feature along with the full post game press conferences. NO EXCUSE on the nba's part. I guarantee that if all of that was included and the price was $40, they'd still have the same amount of sales. Let's not forget, Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween had about 4 hours of bonus features.

Getting off the subject a bit, I wish the nba would release every all star weekend and game in a blu ray box set(Dating back to 84) Now i know the older games aren't HD, but they can clean it up. I just feel the nba is cutting corners and cheating the consumers with their rushed products. I know the nba has more money than WWE and they put out great dvd sets. The ultimate warrior's dvd was excellent.
