So, what exactly does that mean? Will these DVDs be seeing wide (mainstream) release or what?

Also, for those of you that have seen these shows, what are your thoughts on them? I mean, are they recommendable?

As for the "more details" part, I'm going to assume that these are only the first set of releases.

I like the stuff on "Stars of Honor" a lot more without the reservations. I don't think there's too much blow away, MOTY stuff on it, but its a very fun collection of matches and I've seen everything but Homicide vs MVP (I wouldn't expect much out of this. I hear that MVP improved massively in WWE from his early work, which was more in FIP than ROH). Joe vs Punk is their third and final ROH singles match and probably their most accessible, even though its their final, as it doesn't have the 60 Minute pace of the others. Its good and the new commentary should be an asset. The bonus history will definately be an asset, too. Gibson vs Roderick is a very good match, one of the first that got people taking notice of Strong. Gibson puts him over pretty strongly (no pun intended). Danielson vs Spanky is a true gem. These are two overlooked matches from the screwy Best of the American Super Juniors show and should actually imrpove from being removed from that context. The rest of the matches are all fun. The two Hardy matches are probably two of his best singles efforts that I can remember. The new commentary is the big draw for me to this DVD. The commentary (which I assume will be from Prazak and Leonard) replaces some pretty atrocious commentary, particularly memorable from the Joe-Punk match.
