Wondering if any place has this, preferrably a full game of each, or if not, at least a quarter/half of each game. Basically need it to demo video equpiment to people, and right now I'm shelling out over a hundred bucks every month so I can get HD sports, when a blu-ray of each/all would be a one-time buy and save me plenty even over a 1 year period.

I've tried downloading the full games in 720p HD from torrent sites, but the quality, although good, is not good enough when compared to actual HD content we get through Bell Satellite.

You could buy a PVR or some type of external drive, record the game(s), and then hook it up to the TV(s). The PVR obviously doesn't actually need a cable or satellite signal in order to show the recorded stuff. PVR's are pricey and most people who have them have a rental or something but if you buy a used one then it's not bad.

I've found that streaming from a media server like the PS3 and it's media server works quite well for torrents that are in MKV or 720p or whatever.

I know that HMV was giving away the Canada Hockey Gold Bluray for free or like $3 afterwards with the purchase of an HMV Pure Card. I missed out, I really wanted that as a hockey fan but lots of people are selling them online or on kijiji if you want it for cheaper. There's probably similar stuff on amazon for World Cup blu-rays.
