Lol, Mike...

I thought of you Thursday night when I left the store after closing and there was a couple in our parking lot, both with laptops, enjoying Starbucks' free wi-fi!

 

Thanks Mike and Pat!

Nothing for me this week but that's probably a good thing since next week is fairly expensive (Lost and The Simpsons Blu-rays).

Thanks for the prices, guys!

The only titles on Blu-ray that interest me this week are Dexter: Season 4 and Hamlet.  Won't be getting them right away though.  I'll wait for the eventual price-drops.  Thanks guys!

The Bourne films in "slim packaging" is on sale at Amazon. Does anyone know if this "slim" version is three individual slim cases, or is it a fold out hard-plastic gatefold kind of thing?

The exterior looks similar to the older 3-pack which was a box with three full-size cases inside. But this is a different item, different SKU, and half the price.

Anyone know details?

Prices remain ridiculous so nothing new for me.  I may bite on The Crazies at $20 but that seems to be only a matter of short time till it's under $15. 

Thanks as always, sorry to sound like a broken record on these prices but I have zero interest in new releases when they remain that high. 

^ Next week, Lost has a Best Buy bonus disc.

The Blu-ray is currently $12.99 at Amazon

Sold, thanks!

Assuming my shiny new BB card gets here this week, I will be procuring a new PS3 as well as making a little headway into rebuilding the collection...but with a twist this time.

I will actually watch what I buy.  :)

Preach it, brother!

I actually did get one, but I canceled it after getting the initial $20 gift card because I just don't buy things there very often.  I stop in sometimes when I'm at the mall, but their prices are generally not too exciting.  I remember going in on my birthday for the 20% extra discount and walking out disappointed.  Their used BD prices mostly suck and their used CD selection is not that great.  IIRC, there were some other benefits related to restaurant and travel discounts that seemed OK -- do they still offer those?

At least, I think I got the initial $20 gift card.  Not sure where it is.

Most of my recent CD purchases have been made at, believe it or not, Hot Topic.  I got their new loyalty card, which is free (and, coincidentally, runs on software for which I write the documentation :) ).

Hi. Iwant buy amp but idont which one good . iwant 9.2only for my home cinema . yamaha or onky or pioneer . which one good company ?

Could not believe that Hamlet was finally coming to Blu-ray!  I hadn't even heard it was in the works... I got my order in at Amazon!  Glad I never bought the DVD!

Those brands are all fine.  For more information, click on More Forums->Home Theater Hardware->Receivers/ Separates/ Amps.  Good luck and have fun researching!

For those interested in the blu-ray combo pack of The Last Song, you can get a $10 coupon at www.thelastsongcoupon.com.  Hurry though as it is only good through Aug 22nd.

The review for Ugly Betty - Season Four went up late last night and can be found here.

Hm. . .now that you mention it, I think that card was something like $10/ month.  I don't remember for sure though.
