Hi, Seth - The situation on DVD and Blu-Ray is just the opposite of what you describe at the Met. As far as I know, the only traditional production of the Ring available on DVD (or DVD AND Blu-ray for that matter) is the Levine Met production, dating from more than 20 years ago! So, in the case of the Ring Cycle, the video companies are pandering not to first-time listeners, but to listeners such as yourself! ;-)
