John: Nope. They done all growed up. My son (now 16 and driving) WAS into Pokemon many years ago. I actually had to sit through Pokemon: The Movie in the theater! I (honest-to-God, I am NOT making this up) actually nodded off during the film. Only time ever that has happened!

Anyway....that qualifies me for never again having to be associated with Pokemon related material.

And besides, read the fine print in the disclaimer. You could always look up the prices yourself and help out your fellow members of Team Rocket by posting the prices here!

Actually, guys and gals, I am contemplating cutting back slightly on the RoundUp. When I took over this blessed thing in January 2004 (I cannot believe
it's been almost three years now!!!), I expanded it a bit to include more titles. While I cannot necessarily explain my rule of thumb for inclusion of a title in the RoundUp, I have been paying close attention each week to the titles which receive comments attention from the participating readership. Last week, the RoundUp had over 4000+ views(!)...

...but only a handful of titles actually got discussed.
While I hate to do it, I am going to exercise more discretion on which titles get included in the RoundUp because the thing takes me too much time each week to compile and format the way it is. I expect this to be a gradual thing, but I am already casting a wary eye towards next week's titles.
There can be 300 to 600 new titles released each week...with some weeks having many "more interesting" mainstream titles than others. We'll have to see how this shakes out. Hope y'all understand.
I, of course, would love to hear ANY feedback you have. It was reader feedback which moved me to start separate grids to separate the HD releases from SD releases. I think
that is working out great!
