    X1 projector at BestBuy!!!

    Jerry, Yeah, it did seem a bit screwy having to sign up for a card, but I didn't want to argue since I had read about some stores not allowing the coupons to be used to buy the X1. I'm just going to cancel the card in a few months before I have to pay any interest. :)

    Anyone need a Besy Buy 10% off coupon?

    I was able to get the 10% discount without a coupon by signing up for a Best Buy credit card. They said that you get 10% the entire first purchase made with the card! Not sure if this was just the BB I went to, but it sounded like a general policy. In fact, they said the 10% coupon was only...

    Region Encoding on Criterion DVDs

    I found a criterion collection DVD of John Woo's Hard Boiled (out of print) for sale, but the seller doesn't know the region. Are criterion DVDs all "Region 1", or "All Region", or can they be from any region? This is the DVD: http://www.criterionco.com/asp/release.asp?id=9 Thanks for...
