[quote name='Warner1281']For those of you wondering about the BB coupon, yes it's a photoshopped coupon. The barcode was valid, though noone knows where it originated from. Nonetheless, here is a before and after picture of the coupon being edited (found on a forum frequented by BB employees).


Notice the "Blockbuster Ing." at the end of the fine print in coupon #1.[/QUOTE]
*yawn*

How do we know someone didn't photoshop the "Ing" so they could keep preaching their holier than thou beliefs?

And what's stopping people from using the original one?
It's the same thing. Why make the ING one?

Ya know, I was sitting in the court room listening to two prisoners get their sentences and one of the guys was in there for beating his wife almost to death with a golf club and then having sex with her ''broken mouth'' I guess he broke her jaw with it then fucked her mouth or something) but the guy had this creeeeepy grin on his face the whole time. Anyways.. I was sitting there and thinking to myself how horrible it'd be to be that woman... imagine the agony of some dudes wangchung being shoved in and out of your mouth while your jaw is broken and youre bleeding profusely everywhere? (I'm sure you can somewhat imagine it, the first part anyways :D).. kinda made me want to touch women gently and not beat them like I usually do from now on. :[

I don't know what that has to do with fucking a dead cooter, but it was the only interesting thing to happen today. That and I got to present a powerpoint presentation for a hearing afterwords.

Entirely possible. Especially given that the coupon actually works. Either way, moot point since corporate shut down the coupon within a day of it popping up on the internet.
 
[quote name='shrike4242']
If they reacted this quickly to shut the coupon down, they're on a witchhunt to go find out its source, etc. Less involvement with that, the better.[/QUOTE]
Ahahahaha @ you.

Yeah, they're really going to go after the thousands of people who used the coupon.
 
This is so crazy, when I move a window or scroll inside a window, it causes my amp to buzz. It does it even when I turn the monitor off, so the signal itself must be "leaking" through the wires.

Fair enough, but it looks like the original coupon is about the same? I scanned the fine print quickly and didn't see anything that seemed to indicate that the coupon needed photoshopping?

The theory on the Blockbuster forum is that the original fine print was different from the fine print shown there. But whoever photoshopped it mispelled Inc. and then made a second coupon to fix the misspelling. It's all just conjecture at this point though. In the end either corporate screwed up and made a regional coupon that worked nationwide (after photoshopping the fine print) or a manager or higher at Blockbuster created a barcode for their own devious intents (yes, managers have this ability :D ) and are now going to be in some serious hot water.

Holy shit, I quoted myself... but I felt like making another point:

Long ass rant about BB and the extortion type prices they charge on preplayed games:
How the fuck does BB expect to sell used games at the current prices I've seen on some of those receipts? 30 bucks for disc only Oblivion? 45+ for GH:80s? I mean, sure, the game is new... but BB discs are probably some of the saddest condition discs on the planet. I can honestly say if I plan on buying a used game, I'll go to eBay/Half/GS/EB before I'd even consider going into a BB and paying those extortion type prices for the goods they're moving.

I've made 4 purchases from BB in the past 6 years! 1 was a copy of DK64 for 10 with box, and I did this solely because it still had the memory expansion for my N64. I bought a cheap copy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon back in 2001 and since someone gave me a $15 gc to BB for my birthday, I went in to check things out -- and they had a 3 for $20 sale on DVDs, making it a no brainer to pony up the extra $5. (I also bought Murderball on another trip there [Chika wanted to rent something... Fear and Loathing, maybe?], but that was for a ridiculous 3.99 or something.)

My point is, without a coupon like this, how does BB expect to liquidate inventory taking up all that shelf space? I can understand that as a game becomes less popular with the renting crowd, you need less copies to circulate to continue to make a profit -- but unless BB pays for *rental licenses* like they do for DVDs, there's nothing to stop them from buying the game for $60 and renting it 10 times to cover the cost -- anything after that is pure profit. But I digress... I've seen the condition of game carts and CDs from rental establishments such as blockbuster... and it's utter shit. You expect me to spend almost full price for a beat up barely acceptable version of something? At least GS/EB check the discs, I think. And if a person has a high enough trader rating on ebay/half/whatever, you'd think that their description would be truthful.

Granted, any 5 games for $25 is a bit of a firesale. but say used games, 2 for $20, or something... that would be a good start.

Agreed. The shit we sell there is usually scratched to hell. The only consolation to the customer is anything that doesn't work can be exchanged for another copy of the same item (provided there is another one available... otherwise it can be credited/refunded). And yes, the prices are horrible. The only time I would buy games from Blockbuster is during B2G1 sales (with my employee discount) or 50% off select titles.
 
I need to save money for the TV on Black Friday.
There's a rumored 46"LCD from Sharp for $899.

That's the kind of prices I want to see.
Should be better deals at BB, CC, Frys, etc.

Got me. I think it's only bad if I actually tell anyone's name or some sort of identifying factor. Regardless, this is for my grad class, not for my TAing. It's still incredibly boring.

Death Note's probably on that list of big titles, but mentioning just in case it's not.

There's a few shorter ones I've liked that would certainly be easier on the wallet.

Sandland's from Akira Toriyama and it's one of his lesser-known works at just one volume for the entire story. It's about these guys trying to take down the government that's been hording water from the country (world?).

Finally, there's Zombie Powder, from Bleach creator Tite Kubo, and it's about these rings that when brought together, can bring the dead back to life. It's only four volumes long and it also includes to some extra short stories at the end of each volume that are a nice read.

These guys that are working on my bathtub are quite loud. I hope they're done by the time that ATH and PTI are on.
 
Somebody threw somethinga t me today, so I yelled " What the fuck was that?" and then walked off. Didn't do anything, but it was somewhat satisfying, for some reason. Can't wait to get into physical contact with one of them so I can slam their head into a locker, get on top of them ( because I'm so big they couldn't get me off ) and punch them repeatedly in the head/ face, then throw them down a flight of steps. Where I will run down to stand on their neck and balls. Can't wait.
 
Do you wear those shoes w/ the wheels on the bottom of them, Punk_Raven?

I can imagine Rocko wearing them and weaving through the freshman hall with his arms straight in front of him and saying excuse me every second or so.

I think its cause I see so many kids with them I just automatically think ALL kids have them.

Those shoes are out of this world. OUT OF CONTROL.

At seperate times. While I'm standing on the balls I think I might jump a lil, just incase he doesn't get it.

I can't even skate, so nope. I don't usually see any High School kids with them on. Would be funny in a crowded school like mine.
