I pretty much only buy CEs if they have substantial game content- not talking costumes or exclusive items, but stuff like Madden 09 including a whole second game (Head Coach 09) they later sold for 60 dollars

Mostly this, though for the Tales games and cameo costumes I'll make an exception
I usually find DLC pre-order &/or LE bonuses pointless because they'll be useless to me once I beat the game and stop playing it, let along sell the game. I'm starting to like the CD bonuses because it allows me to add another CD to put in my car for when I drive into town & such (Jet Set Radio is sooo goooddd). Artbooks, I kind of agree since I look at them once, are content, then on my shelf it goes.
Kind of the reason why I'm more excited over Shinovi Versus' LE compared to Curtain Call. For $10 more, I feel like I'm getting a better deal compared to $30 more for an LE that I only really care for one of the items, & even then I don't what songs are on the disk.
I bought the Zelda Hyrule Historia thing. It was pretty much the first gaming related non-game item I've ever bought. I figured Zelda is a cool series and this isn't expensive, so why not? I regret buying it, I flipped through it once and it's been sitting under my bed ever since.
So yeah, Collector's Edition junk I can do without. I buy games to play games. Definitely not the collecting type, and my experience with Hyrule Historia solidified that. My wallet thanks me.

Yeah, considering how limited my budget is for the time being, I find it hard to justify stuff like artbooks (which I'll look through once & that's it, though they probably make for nice coffee table books) & figurines (I'm not spending $50+ for something to sit there). If it's included with a bundle & priced decently, then I get excited because I'm getting a bonus with my game.
All boils down to what I get and how much I have to pay. Still kind of glad I skipped on Tales of Symphonia HD's LE & just waited to get it for $10 on PSN to use the money/credit on other games.

Well, there was a UFC PPV going head to head....
You've sold your posts as ad space haven't you?

I'm planning on posting the ratings as soon as I've finished watching my Shirley Temple DVD collection while eating a Hot Pocket.
Speaking of blatant advertising, I'm surprised Funimation hasn't done any commercials for the AoT DVDs/Blu-Rays, especially considering there's a LE with extra stuff in it.

Yeah I feel the same way. They're just extra money and at the end of the day I'll be enjoying the game more than the extra stuff.

No numbers yet but I can give you this:
Final Act hasn't been announced yet tho
The Luigi gifs are seriously making me want to get a wii u. I wanted to wait for smash though, hoping that by then there would be another small price drop or something.
That... doesn't sound all that promising, to be honest.
But I thought the reason One Piece got bad ratings was because Naruto was a bad lead in!

Here's one way to read it: the shows before Shippuden could've pulled their usual numbers or even slightly below, but the NBA game beat them in the demos they pointed out, so they were not highlighted.
On the flip side, the other shows did well because with a lower number of cable viewers overall after the NBA game ended, their performance put them higher on the chart.
Does that make sense?

Toonami is DOOOOOMED /s
We expecting holiday weekend numbers for the 1.5hrs of the block? It's good to see a rebound during Shippuden based on demographic and we'll probably have decent numbers through 230, but I'm not expecting anything spectacular.
Toonami will rebound.

People came back in droves for Shippuden. Weird. The block hasn't been doing as great as I hope it would. Especially not AoT. Man, i'm really bummed out.
UFC event ended at before 1 AM. Low numbers everywhere though
There was a basketball game that night and something else too so there's nothing to worry about

i dunno, AOT came in second for the entire night and even then only by a little bit. that sounds pretty good to me.
People must have finally realized shits getting real.
Repeat Dandy isn't holding viewership like the shows with premieres.
AoT posting decent numbers, along with Bleach and Shippuden. Glad to see One Piece actually hold some of those viewers this week. After that though, massive drops at BE and BL.
I think the biggest issue with the block come in from Dandy being a repeat at 12am not holding viewers through till the end of the shounen block. People are less likely to come back later in the evening if they tune out early to avoid a repeat show.

Black Lagoon 
The thing with AoT is, is the fact people are most likely watched or are watching the sub version. AoT will be fine, and I still think it is acting as the current portal to Anime. Not as big as DBZ was but still big enough to the point you have both new and especially old fans like me coming back after an anime hiatus.
I just think that's the gift/curse of having Toonami on so late and showing shows that have already aired somewhere or sometime else .I can see new episodes of Dandy doing good for the simple fact it is constantly a "world premiere"
She too Tsundere for them, friend. That's what makes her perfect waifu status

Stoners don't like first best girl and third best girl. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Not horrible. I can't help but wonder what it is about Black Lagoon that people do not like. It's definitely unlike most the other shows on the block. Just out of curiosity, but there's no point in whining I think we're all used to its poorer than expected viewer numbers. Looks like people really came back for Shippuden. A few even came back for part 1 Naruto.
Whos second best girl

We know season 3 is coming in a few weeks, no reason to completely shuffle the block for a few weeks then shuffle it back. I assume once dandy s2 ends it'll join bebop in a wantabe power hour
Probably on too late plus people not watching because it's censored

i think it might be because its plot requires you to pay a little bit more attention than people are comfortable with at like 2:30. but you'd think the action would make up for that.
There is no real thinking to be done watching Lagoon tho. Really the plot were in now is the only one that takes some "thinking" regarding the Leader that kidnapped Rock and what his mission statement and goal is. If that is the real problem tho, then BL is going to have a rough time in ratings for long last arc
of season 2 since it requires alot more attention to the story since it has alot more moving parts.
I think AoT will have some trouble down the line also.
Eda the Nun from episode 7 of course.
edit: at least bleach is doing good....which is all that matters
Russians/Revy/Rock's Japan takeover
