Any details on Unbreakable yet? I know it comes out in April, but i just wanted to know if we'll see any extra features that weren't in the dvd release.

In a particularly strange turn of events, my Toshiba freebies showed up on the last day of the year after waiting for seven months... and the replacement batch that was supposedly sent after I called in early October to inquire about the status was also sitting on the doorstep today.

Now I've got two copies each of five movies that, upon seeing the selections, I don't particularly want -- couldn't remember what I'd chosen, just that none of the options were very good from that original rebate. Probably give a few to a friend and see if I can trade the rest in somewhere.

I'll be gettin the RE box set (plus bag), Payback, and Hitchhiker's tomorrow using the $20 coupon at Best Buy. I'm thinking of getting that Spider-Man box set from Target as they have exclusive packaging that's like the Die Hard box set.

well, have you seen the Die Hard box set? It's one case that holds all 4 discs, kind of like the Planet Earth set. Everywhere other than Target got a box set with 3 individual cases for the three Spider-Man movies while Target got a case like the Die-Hard box.

I will get right on that. Making you a postcard right now.

"Dear TheJesusFactor -

Well, it's 5 years in the future and i'm crying myself to sleep right now as I write you this. I am so saddened that I cannot rip my entire Blu-ray collection to huge fucking data files and transfer them over my high speed Wireless Z network between my multiple 1080p TV's (cause i'm filthy rich now). I know I could have just bought another Blu-ray player since they are $50 bucks now but I was just so caught up on your thinly veiled allusion to HD-DVD's copy management I could not bear it.

BFF! Ponn01

PS - tell the police i'm down the hall in the bathroom. Taking a dump."

That doesn't make sense. 5 years is a very long time for technology. Prices per gigabyte would drop dramatically enough for affordable media servers to store HD content. Wireless access will also be dramatically faster and more affordable. You will probably see wifi in a lot more devices in the future. Media servers will also allow you to take your dump while watching a movie on your PSP3. I'll be looking forward to that card.

Amazon has anounced that 2007 was their best holiday season yet, and released a few interesting facts as well...

-Amazon.com sold Nintendo Wii systems at approximately 17 per second when they were in stock.

-Amazon.com sold enough high-def DVD players to cover seven football fields.

-Amazon.com sold enough Hannah Montana wigs to outfit the entire audience at her December 20th show in Providence, RI. :lol

-Top sellers in video games and hardware included Nintendo Wii, “Super Mario Galaxy” and “Call of Duty 4.”

-In DVDs, top sellers included “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.”

-The last Prime order placed on December 23 in time for Christmas delivery contained "Futurama, Vol. 1" DVD, "Lost in Translation" DVD, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" CD, "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand paperback, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" CD, and "Pulp Fiction” (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) DVD delivered to Herndon, VA on December 24th.

how was 3:10 to Yuma? Is it purchase worthy for next week?
Click to expand...

I think it was a great movie. It's been a long time since I have seen such a good western. I know I will buy it as soon as it is released over here. It just started it's run in the cinema over here on Dec. 13th if I am not mistaken.

Moreso than Crank??

Well even less story but more action + ridiculesnes.

I wouldn't say it is better than Crank but I thought it was a fun movie. You could search the thread for this movie here on GAF to get some more impressions.

:D My best buy put out Sunshine a whole week early. Fucking awesome.

I picked up that, RE: Extinction and finally got Live Free or Die Hard since it was down to 24.99 and used the 20$ off coupon. For whatever reason, none of the BBs got the standalone Resident Evil 1 so I need to find that somewhere now.

Sony says that 3.4 million Blu-ray disc drives are also in PlayStation 3 machines, giving it a numerical advantage.

I don't understand this part of the NY Times article from yesterday. It sounds like the writer thinks that Sony is lying.

Have you seen the movies? If not: STAY AWAY!

Extincation may have been the worst movie I have seen since Alone in the Dark.

I dunno, if you go in just expecting hot girls kicking zombie ass they're fun movies.

and yeah bish they had the 3 pack for 58. i didn't pick it up because i had the 2nd already and they wouldn't let me use the coupon on it.

If you can wait, wait. THis fall, they'll probably be cheaper than that, and they'll support more features (the PS3 already does, other players do not).

Just wait for another PS3 price drop, you'll probably see one at some point in 2008.

That scene alone made the movie for me. Shame it falls apart in the third act.

Thanks for the BOGO link, I'm going with 28 Weeks Later and Syriana.

Die Hard is on this one? *orders*

Also, Harry Potter 1-4 is in this deal too if anyone wants to pick them up. Comes out to $10 for each movie.
