2008 Beijing Olympics Equestrian DVDs. Exist?

Postby Toccet02 » Thu Nov 13, 2008 9:19 am

I can't find any. I saw only one short segment on TV--and would love to buy the recap.
All I've found are the opening ceremonies.
Anyone know where I might purchase such a thing? Did they bother to film it?

Thanks Barbaro--I saw that before via google search, but it was so "local" that I wasn't sure I trusted it.
Is it a camcorder job? :lol: :lol:
Why no more commercial releases??
If you vouch for them I'll order, and THANK you!

Dang, $129.00 for the set seems a little steep to me.

Let us know if you enjoy it. That way I'll know whether to put it on my "wish list" or not. :D

Oh fine. Make ME the guinea pig!!

It's expensive and I feel nuts for splurging now, but I was SO looking forward to the coverage and got almost zip.
