    Cheesy Godfather packaging.

    I guess I'm in the minority here. I liked the packaging and have no problem with it. Please, are we talking about films here or baseball cards. Maybe we can all have the boxes rated on a grading scale and then put them in plastic boxes for display on the shelf. I for one only plan on opening the...

    ALL NEWBIES: Want a Home Theater System real cheap? There is hope! I am shocked!

    Great post Ron!
