DVD TACKLES SUPER BOWL XXXV

Fans RAVEN for GIANT DVD Hits

LOS ANGELES - January 22, 2001 - So they say Super Bowl XXXV might not satiate all sport fans' appetites. For those who won't be glued to the television on Sunday, January 28, DVD offers an entertaining alternative. Now in more than 14 million U.S. homes and with more than 8,500 movies and music videos available, DVD offers a number of action-packed football titles to help sports fans and non-sports fans alike tackle the largest sporting event of the year.

For starters, viewers can review their playbook with USA Home Entertainment's A Century of Pro Football and Greatest Moments in Super Bowl History, for an in-depth look at football's all-time legends. Both titles recap football's greatest moments and provide different camera angles, a play-by-play running commentary and never before seen footage.

Recently released movie hits such as Any Given Sunday (Warner Home Video), Varsity Blues (Paramount Home Entertainment), The Replacements (Warner Home Video) and of course, Air Bud: Golden Retriever (Buena Vista Home Entertainment) are also destined to score big with fans.

Consumers can watch some of their old favorite football titles again, this time with the added features and amazing picture quality offered by DVD-Video. Some classics now available on DVD-Video include Rudy: Special Edition (Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment), Charlton Heston's Two Minute Warning (Universal Studios Home Video), Brian's Song (Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment) and Horse Feathers (Image Entertainment).

Sports aficionados may want to unwind for a post-game reminiscence with recent football hits on DVD-Video including Jerry Maguire (Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment), The Waterboy (Buena Vista Home Entertainment), North Dallas Forty (Paramount Home Entertainment), Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Warner Home Video), Heaven Can Wait (Paramount Home Entertainment) and The Last Boy Scout (Warner Home Video).

Keep up the momentum after the big game with two upcoming football movies, Necessary Roughness (Paramount Home Entertainment) and The Longest Yard (Paramount Home Entertainment) both in stores January 30, and Remember The Titans (Buena Vista Home Entertainment) out on March 20.

Yet while DVD offers a number of titles for the football fan, those sitting out the big game still have more than 8,500 blockbuster hits, animated favorites, Hollywood classics, live concerts and music videos to choose from for a full weekend of entertainment.
