A couple of years ago, my Xbox crashed similar to your scenario. There are multiple websites that offer hard drives for sale for the xbox. At that time, they only ran 40 bucks and the system was then as good as new. I would just replace the hard drive and then put it on Ebay. The hard drive...

The Wii will come with a 10 foot cord for the controller. Nintendo will not be making an extension for the cord, however, Pelican is currently making an extension and it should be 10-15 feet in length. Currently, they are expecting it to come out at launch or shortly thereafter.

I went to my local Target this afternoon and they already have a 1-800 number to call for issues concerning the disc. Apparently, guest just have to call the number and they will get the issue resolved. A friend of mine bought the set and used the number. I will try to get that number from him...

This sounds pretty damn funny. Reading around the rest of their site, I saw some of their other pranks. "The Moebius" involved an entire team of individuals repeating their actions in a Starbucks. So, imagine being an employee seeing a couple come in and argue over the woman's smoking. Then...

The bigger retailers typically sell new releases at a loss. So, Mom and Pa stores (small dvd stores, rental outlets, etc.) usually will buy their titles from Target/Wal-Mart because they are much cheaper than ordering through their supply chain. I see that a lot at about 8:05 after Target opens...

I also noticed a good amount of grain while watching this. I've got the Toshiba 4980 as my player. The picture looks the worst at the beginning when Cloud is on the bike. The characters are fine, but the backgrounds look faded.

Just an FYI for those of you still looking for a console. Target will have the XBOX 360 listed in their ad this coming Sunday (April 2nd). Large quantities of units will be shipping this week and most will be held for this upcoming ad. So get there early Sunday if you still need a console.

No, direct shipments are the normal delivery system for games/systems that need to be at stores in a hurry. The cost is incurred by the publishers/manufacturers. Normally, this is done to replenish stores when they have an ad that features a hot selling game/movie, etc. It's not uncommon for...

As someone who works at a major retailer, I have to put a few rumors to rest. First of all, Xbox 360's will probably not be shipping through store's individual distribution centers. In other words, Microsoft will direct ship the units to stores. This is five times quicker than having product...

I am suprised by how bad these things are selling in my area. I picked mine up at midnight at Wally World and only had one other person there with me. I went back in today to pick up Ridge Racer and the guy at the counter said they have only sold four units. My local Target got 80 units in and...

One of the major retailers will be carrying the Xbox bundle mentioned above (Top Spin/NCAA Football) with Crimson Skies as an added bonus for their 2 day ad after Thanksgiving. It's all bundled together in one box. Very nice for only $150.

I'm in as well: Gamertag: PIGCOP1

I just ask myself,"What would Brian Boitano think of this movie?". It's so much simpler than using other systems.

Ratings decline on NETWORK Tv due to the fact that we have so many choices on CABLE Tv today. Cable and satellite subscriptions are at an all-time high partly due to lower prices and increased competition. The great thing about cable tv is that each and every channel is much more defined...

Advertisers want younger viewers for only one reason: disposable income. All studies indicate that consumers in the age group of 18-35 have the most disposable income. The key word is "disposable". Most middle-aged individuals make more money, but kids, homes, land (other property), cars...

It's time to sell some of my lesser-watched and lesser-played movies and xbox games. All movies and games come with mint-condition packaging and perfect disc quality. I take very good care of my movies and games and buy only new, not used discs. Prices are listed below, but feel free to throw me...

Noah Wyle's contract was set to end with this past year, but he signed a one-year extension which will allow him to direct a few episodes. Contract Extension details

So much stupidity in just 2 hours time!!! This show is great, unfortunately, I don't think NBC was intending this to be a comedy. Everything is so over the top and cheasy, it's a laugh riot. I especially love when the two researchers park their black vehicle and wander around to find evidence...

This would be a DREAM for retailers! The average profit on a $50 game is $5-8, and sometimes even less on $30 and lower games. A system will net a retailer around $10. The overall cost of theft and inventory expense takes even more out of their profit margin. Retailers would love to use their...

Doctor, Doctor Matt Frewer is a stud.

It streets this Tuesday, Mar. 2nd for a MSRP of 29.99. Not sure what the price will actually be upon streeting though. The package will include 7 episodes along with a CD, $10 coupon towards a season set, and a few other collectible items (coffee sample from show's coffee house (forgot the name)).

Well, it's pretty simple. No theater sales="a flop". Flops cost studios money out of their budgets. Once budgets are negative, cash flow becomes an issue. Marketing a DVD and discounting it for retailers becomes a problem. Doing this would require more money being possibly lost. Therefore, the...

I find it funny that Best Buy bought Suncoast, Sam Goody, and Musicland about 2-3 years ago. Their intent was to penetrate into smaller mall markets that their current stores weren't intended to do. Those of you who shop there should have noticed Best Buy's influence. Now Sam Goody and Musicland...

I don't know about this one. I haven't heard anything good about the reliability of Gateway's other excursions into electronics (digital cameras, TVs, etc.). Maybe someone can relate their experiences with this model......

THis is a common practice at Wal-Mart. With their market share at such a high level, they can afford to give away DVDs for virtually nothing. Target routinely beats them in pricing, but Wal-Mart will find out quickly and lower their price by 10 to 20 cents less to save face (typically done Tues...

The "bundle" offered by Target was no bundle. They just had a coupon for the full retail price of the Cartoon Network game. The game was just basically given away for free. The deal has been more popular than Target anticipated, so they have allowed the substitution of a Harry Potter GBC game...
