| #1 Posted on 25.2.04 1936.33 Reposted on: 25.2.11 1938.18 | My dad has made me an interesting offer.
For my 16th birthday (March 30), my dad has offered to let my have a couple friends over, order some pizza, and order WrestleMania XX.
That's where you guys come in. Since I'm pathetic, and can't make decisions on my own, I'd like some feedback on whether or not I should take this offer.
Thanks in advance! Promote this thread! | | Stephanie

| #3 Posted on 25.2.04 1947.28 Reposted on: 25.2.11 1948.34 | I'd still get some stuff in addition to WM, but ordering it would take a fairly big chunk of my birthday cash, if you will.
If I didn't order WM, I probably wouldn't do anything special with my friends. Probably just have them over to spend the night, watch some movies. | BigVitoMark

Good call. Now, if your pops wanted to get you something that would let you record the PPV, theres an idea. | Dexley's Midnight Jogger

| #10 Posted on 26.2.04 0919.55 Reposted on: 26.2.11 0919.55 | I'm not trying to sound like old man river here, but due to enormous bills and some other events changing my life, I may not get to see WM this year until it's over and I'm watching a tape of it. This is shaping up to be the best show for awhile, so if I were you I'd consider watching it with friends and pizza. You can always demand your friends bring you presents to get in as well. | HarleM HeAt

If I were you, I'd tape it and play it back the next day without the friends. I'd vote for a cheese pizza by the way, and i'd start consumption at around the 2 hour mark. | Nuclear Winter

| #14 Posted on 28.2.04 2112.19 Reposted on: 28.2.11 2112.23 | Is there a way you can tape PPVs? I was under the impression that there was some kind of imbedded scrambling code preventing taping (at least with a normal VCR, and I'm not gonna go spring for some special device so I can tape one show). | Whitebacon

Record it the way you would record any normal show you'd watch. If your equipment is set up properly, you won't have a problem. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
