Also picked up Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed II (both for PS3).

Bless you! They're 2 of my favorite bands also. I'm waiting for the Blu-ray version of the Kings of Leon at O2. I didn't even know that the Killers put one out though. Gotta check it out.

Why didn't anybody get this? ;_; With so many different collector's editions for this film out there, I would think that GAF would have picked up some. Everyone just got the standard pack. :(

I have a clear cut concept of a game because I played three levels.
I warn people that I haven't played too far into the game so that they can take that in to consideration when reading my post, rather than pretending to know what I'm talking about. Mostly to avoid kids kicking and screaming, but as you can see, it doesn't always work.

Oh, and world 3 is the 77th level. 1/3 of the game.

Grabbed PSN card, as I save money this way.

Although, what's with the Blu-Ray cases?

That is the Target version?

Ugh, nobody got the awesome version of the Star Trek XI BD, hold on...

That doesn't fit with the rest of the movies in my movie storage unit. I'd rather not have an Enterprise sitting out all the time, it would totally kill the decor in my living room.

Agreed. I love star trek but that would be awkward to sit with the rest of my blurays.

How's the PlaySega pad? Does it feel really cheap/flimsy or is it actually identical to a regular Saturn controller?

I want to know as well. If its so-so, I will stay with my saturn usb one.

I was gonna get that one, but it's not only pricey, but stuff like that bombas on amazon all the time. I thought I would wait. Please shoot pics if you can though. I still think canada go the best special edition, the Futureshop Steelbook. So classy...

But still, amazon and steel book are the best IMO. After that comes the one I got, an the crappy Best Buy one gets last place in my book.

I just ordered a vortex case and am cutting out my own insert for it. Problem solved. I want it to go in line with the TOS and TNG movie collection boxsets, so I needed to make something custom anyways...

yea, kinda pricey but it's the only version i'm getting so i went for it.
 
How does G vs Biollante look? I've read that the original on Blu-ray isn't all that better than the DVD release (likely due to how old it is) but would definitely pick up some of the others if they look good. Biollante is one of my favs :)

The picture is pretty much clean of any dirt or scratches. There is a layer of grain over the picture. Some might not like it but I think it adds to the film. The picture is also a little soft. But all the Heisei films are. Some scenes are worse than others but this is still the best it's ever gonna look. The audio's good to. Here's some screens I had taken.

that's fine. I finished the game doesn't make the controls less pitiful.

That totally looks shitty. Why would they do that half way thru the gen? :\

Just like when the Simpsons went from the old boxes to the head boxes.

Did they think OCD peeps would take this sitting down?!
 
I think "OCD peeps" is accurate. Why can't you just put the new ones on top? Or are you people anal about alphabetization, too? I really don't see what the big deal is. Looks fine to me, and I have a good eye for detail.

I like my stuff in alphabetical order. Makes it easy to find.

Sega did the same thing with Dreamcast. Actually, that was worse, since it went from white cases to black cases.

I'm glad i'm not OCD about this kind of thing anymore. It's a colossal waste of time and energy to get upset over it.

So then do it old style then new style, each in alphabetical order. Or if it bothers you that much Photoshop old style covers and get them professionally printed. :p Seriously, talk about much ado about nothing...

Picked up Atrocius last Saturday and Earth-2 Superman today. The rings are from the last few weeks. Just need Green and Red this Wednesday and then I gotta find a Black ring.

Fight Club was $17 at Best Buy and Simpson Seasons 1-3 were $13 there too. Now I have Seasons 1-10, and 12. Time to start ripping them to an external drive.

Left 4 Dead 2 was purchased on Wednesday. I haven't played it too much as of yet.

It feels like it cost £6.99 :p

It's light and plasticy... but comfy too. Buttons click well.

I agree, it looks really bad. Plus I like the old design better.
