Paid Members Cod Eye Posted March 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 2, 2017 Serves the video shop right for not taking the tab out! Â I always thought the tab just stopped a tape being taped over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Cost of manufacture was big back then. Distribution smaller too so bigger costs per run. Â It was even bigger for longer tapes hence some WWF PPVs being released edited down to two hours. Â Was this the reason Harley Race vs King Haku ("battle of the Kings") was cut from the video/ dvd release of Royal Rumble 1989? I always wondered why they cut his match...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 2, 2017 Harley Race Vs Haku sounds like a great match. Two absolute hard bastards going at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefcase Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Isn't it a similar deal with Video Games?  Games nowadays are actually cheaper then they were 25+ years ago  I remember when N64 games were like £60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Race v Haku did get released in the Royal Rumble Anthology, presumably they used a different version of the event than what was released the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 2, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Cartridges cost more than discs, which explains that.

There's a Christmas that must have cost my Gran a fortune. I've bought consoles for less than the price of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted March 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Listening to review podcasts recently and it's interesting how a fan who didn't grow up with a character like Elizabeth and watching it back retrospectively, dislikes the performer and any use of her, because of her obvious performance anxiety, when that's actually the selling character trait. God I love the Liz/Randy arc. Edited March 3, 2017 by WWFChilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
