Not a bad deal on this 'yet to be released' blu ray considering I paid $35 on the day the 2014 Pats season review was released.

It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Anyone who doesn't own a Blu ray player by now probably hasn't even heard of the internet yet anywayImportant note, in this release the blu ray version also comes with a DVD (this was not the case for the 2014 release).
As such, even if you don't have a blu ray player I highly suggest you pay the 3 extra dollars to get the blu ray. You'll be glad you did when you do finally get a blu ray player.

Can someone transfer this to VHS for me?
I already ordered mine, I really wish though the extras are better then the SB 49 one. The extras for 39 and 38 were far better with the full game and the half time show.
No 4K? No buys.
We don't live in Somalia, therefore we shouldn't have to deal with 1080p (the p stands for peasantry, by the way) any longer, especially since they shot the SB using 4K cameras.
I don't mean to be pedantic nerd, but I worked in the audio video industry for years. Do you happen to sit a foot away from your large screen television while watching? Or do you have a projector with a screen over 120 inches? If the answer is no on both of these, you are fooling yourself if you think you can tell the difference between 4K and 1080p. It is scientifically proven. My 1080p plasma, last edition flagship Samsung, will put these 4K LCDs to shame.
First, the angular resolution of the human eye is approximately 0.02 degrees, or 0.00035 radians. That means your eye cannot distinguish any angle smaller than that or put another way, any angle that size or smaller will all look like the same angle.
If you are sitting 2 meters from the screen (approx 6ft) that means the smallest meaningful pixel size you can see is:
2m * 0.00035 = 0.0007 m = 0.7mm
If a pixel is smaller than 0.7mm on a side you can't tell the difference between a 0.7mm pixel and a smaller pixel, or, more accurately, your eye will smear together pixels smaller than 0.7mm on a side into a 0.7mm on a side blob.
A 55" 16:9 screen has the dimensions 47.94" wide by 26.96" high.
47.94" wide is 1217.7mm wide
Now for pixels...
1080p = 1920 x 1080
4k = 3840 x 2160
So 1080p pixel on such a screen is 1217.7mm/1920 = 0.63mm
And a 4k pixel will be half that -- 0.32mm
But as noted, the smallest pixel you can see under the stated conditions is 0.7mm which is more than either of those. The optics of the human eye and simple math mean that your eye will smear together and essentially average four 4k pixels into a 1080p pixel. So you won't get any extra resolution or clarity when sitting 6' away from a 55" 4K screen vs a 55" 1080p screen.
i still have the sony beta machine i bought back in 84 in my basement.How much for the Beta version?????
