WWE Royal Rumble confirmed for HD
Just as expected, the January 27, 2008 WWE Royal Rumble will indeed be airing in HD, and considering that the event itself sold out in five hours, catching it via HD pay-per-view is likely your best remaining option. Reportedly, the high-definition broadcast of Royal Rumble will be available via DirecTV and "digital cable" providers, but we're not entirely sure if it'll be accessible on every provider out there. Unfortunately, those requesting the event in HD will be dinged for an extra $10 ($49.95 versus $39.95 in SD), but hey, that's still a fair bit cheaper than snapping up a ticket from a scalper.[Thanks, gamedude420]

Wow $50.00 just to watch it once? I wonder if your able to Tivo that of if it will have the copyright protection flag preventing it. That sure seems expensive to me...
I'd rather buy Mass Effect for the xbox 360 personally :) or osme other rpg and get 40+ hours of entertainment for the came cost.

ya if you are buying it to watch it yourself, but in many cases people pool together with bunch friends and pay a couple of $$ towards the ppv snacks and drinks and have a big party, same with mma and boxing
