Holy crap, I just found out about the price. I can go ahead and cross this one off my list. I thought we were past the days of ridiculously priced TV box sets. I guess I can always get a used one off ebay.

Anybody pick this up at Target? They're offering seven free music downloads with purchase, but I can't figure out where you're supposed to get them from. If they're iTunes I'd be interested. The ad in Sunday's paper and the packaging don't offer specifics, and I haven't been able to find out...

First thing I thought of was Boyz II Men's "A Song For Mama" Lyrics

The U.S. version only has French and Spanish subs. The American version also shows English subs on the packaging. Also, anyone else disappointed that they changed the packaging again? I liked how the previous 2 seasons were packaged.

I've seen The Dirty Dozen in keepcases at Target.

Someone needs to make a DVD cover for a standard 4-disc DVD case with the R2 artwork. That would look better and be more durable than what Fox is providing. I wish dvdcoverart.com was still operating.

I'm sure many of you know about the X-Files promotion that was going on at Best Buy - each season for $50 until July 4. Well, I work there and was surprised to see that the signs for the promotion were taken down, and that the sets are ringing up at their regular price. There was no...

I guess the best way to respond to this is to say I disagree with everything said in this post. :) Timesplitters 3 is awesome, and is definitely worth picking up, especially if you liked TS2.

They're building a time machine to travel back to the 60s and bring back a copy of the film to the present, untouched by the ravages of time. Either that or they decided it would be too expensive to restore and aren't going to bother with it.

I think so. For example, Banjo Pilot was recently released for Game Boy Advance by THQ, under license from Rare. Nintendo had no involvement with that game.

Not sure what you mean. First party in game industry terms relates to the hardware manufacturer themselves, so yes, Nintendo owns all the games Nintendo created. If you meant second parties (i.e. Rare), then Nintendo only owns the games that use their intellectual property. For example, Donkey...

That would make sense, wouldn't it? But no, it's all real.

Never on DVD: Becket The African Queen Becket The Magnifecent Ambersons Becket Needs SE: John Boorman's Excalibur

Hi all, Best Buy Drone #1450694 here. It seems there's going to be some fairly significant changes to Best Buy's DVD floorplan, in order to give more space and attention to high-margin TV on DVD sets. I haven't seen the actual floorplans yet, just an overview of the changes that are going to...

Thanks for the tips. I just had it installed today, and I'm pretty impressed with the signal strength. At home, I have my XM boombox in a room with no windows on the north side of my house. Three bars of signal, no dropouts. Before I had the Skyfi2 properly installed in my car, I was driving for...
