[quote name='Gothic_Walrus']There's an extended edition of THAT movie coming out? :whistle2:s
:[/QUOTE]

Yea, it's got a ton of stuff added into it, I think over 20 minutes?

Also comes with a free movie ticket for FF 2... since I can trade in another 4 movies at Moviestop, it's worth it for a free movie + free ticket.
 
[quote name='sixersballernum3']Also, this AR is complicated as fuck to get what you really want out of it, Pokemon wise anyway. :lol:[/QUOTE]
Really?

With the Game Shark on the GBC games, it was easy - there was a code that could modify what Pokémon would appear out in the wild, and having the code on would guarantee that you'd get, say, a level three Mewtwo every time you ran into a wild Pokémon in the grass. :)

But Hannibal Rising sucked, didn't it?

I'm not sure if Redbox will get an extended cut or not, I assume they had the FF original release back when it first dropped and I think I've seen that one on HBO or one of the movie channels.

Ghost Rider is a possibility. I think it is supposed to be pretty bad as well, but I was a fan of the comics.

Warner - Why can't other companies just buy copies and put them out for rent? Maybe if Blockbuster gets some copies in a week or so before it's official street date to rent and so then they'd have a certain exclusive time. That I could see.

EDIT - Nope you're right did a search and Blockbuster has exclusive rental rights for Weinstein movies. But I thought companies could rent copies of movies/games/whatever with or without the blessing of the maker. Didn't Nintendo try suing to prevent game rentals back in the NES days and get shot down? At any rate I think HR pre-dates the deal, or at least that title wasn't mentioned as one of the first in the article I read. Grindhouse was one of the ones mentioned so that just means I won't be watching Grindhouse until it's on HBO, etc (unless other rental places ignore the deal.) Dumb deal for Weinstein company IMO unless BBV is paying through the nose.

Of course with Redbox they could just say they are actually selling the DVD for $25 charged $1 per day, but if the customer returns it they cease the future charges. ;)

Yeah. Apparantly it requires knowledge of hex codes and whatnot for a lot of it. For example, to get a Pokemon to appear, you need to use a code that gives 493 masterballs, then discard as many as needed so that the reamining quanitity = the number Pokemon you want (ie 150 = mewtwo, 151=mew, etc.).

Then you'll encounter it in the wild.

There's no easy "x Pokemon appears in wild at X level" or "X pokemon replaces slot 1 Pokemon in box". Which is what I was hoping for.

[quote name='Roufuss']Rogue Galaxy is an awesome as shit RPG on the PS2.

I'd rather pay $5 for the guide now, because it's going to cost me more than $5 to get someone to ship it to me when it goes a penny, because I won't be able to find it.

And I'd rather have it now since I want to play through the game soon.[/quote]
Same as my rationale on guides like that. I ended up picking up SC: DA & R6: Vegas @ $4.99 months ago, so I wouldn't have to go through the hassle of trying to get them from another CAG + shipping.

That RG guide will probably be about $3 to ship it media mail w/DC, so $5 + tax in-hand, much easier to deal with.

Hey bitch, you wanted major releases in June, you didn't say anything about them being good ;)

There is also Norbit, but watch out, this movie SUCKS!!

This was the movie I saw with my gf on our first date... she said it looked funny, and I'm a fan of Eddie Murphy, how bad could it be, right?

Ugh.

Where is Eddie Murphy from Raw and Beverly Hills Cop?

$3 to ship, in reality, but most CAG's charge a flat $4 or $5 shipping for guides, and a few dollars more for bigger ones, so it would be at least $6 or $7 to ship.

That reminds me, I need to get an extra copy for Botticus, since the $5 off coupon expires before he gets back from his honeymoon, and he's already a few hours into the game.
 
[quote name='Strell']Where do I get this Rogue guide?[/quote]BB just dropped the price to $9.99 from $19.99.

$4.99 + tax.

Yep, I looked through the release list and there are a few major releases, but I don't see anything that rises above the 'pretty bad' level. You'd think somebody would have seen that and pushed to get a good movie or two out during that month. Whatever.
 
Looks like my BB has a Rogue guide, but I won't be there until Wednesday.

Oh well. I guess I'll wait for it to penny. I swear, no one around here buys penny guides, unless they just leave all kinds of shit there.

So I checked Gamestop's stock of Odin Sphere for the hell of it.

One gamestop says they have 4+. The other Gamestop, which is in the same damn mall, just like a 1.5 minute walk away, has 0.

Odd? Yes.

So my understanding of the legalise behind the contract and renting and blah blah blah is the following.

When a rental company receives movies from a distrubution company specifically for renting, the rental company doesn't have to pay for the movies (or pays a minimal price for them). But in return, the company must give a certain cut of all rental fees collected on said movie (say 50% for the first week, 30% week 2, 20% week 3, nothing there after). However, thanks to the "first sale doctrine," there is nothing to stop another company from buying a bunch of non-rental copies (read- retail), opening them up and renting them out (as decided by the Supreme court approx. 30 years ago).

In the end, the non-Blockbuster company pays more up front (paying whatever the distro's retail price is), but has no back end fees. Depending on the popularity of the movie and how many retail copies you get, this may or may not be a good tactic (mostly not a good tactic, but there are exceptions).

Because, while these movies may be shitty, I guarantee they will sell a shitload of DVD's, so nobody really wants to go against them. Quality doesn't equal sales.

Norbit was a shit movie but it will be #1 in DVD sales on release week.

When I go to the store, and I don't have any or little beer at home. I'll buy a six pack of something I've never tried before. Like last night I bought a 6 pack of the SA summer ale. Before that I bought a 6 pack of blue moon. I don't think I've bought the same beer in the last year. Next time I go I'll proly grab a 6-pack of Serria Nevada.

[quote name='wubb']Just scanned the DVD release schedule and I don't see anything decent coming to redbox (they get mostly/only major new releases) through the end of June. Am I missing something?[/QUOTE]

I finally saw a rebox. My local kroger has one. I didn't rent anything though.

[quote name='wubb']I think I've decided to not send my lite off to get the hinge fixed. I think I bought it release week so that means some time in mid June will be when my year coverage is up. Should have taken care of it in Feb/Mar/Apr when I wasn't playing it really at all, but now that the summer's here I don't want to be without it for over a week.

I tend to keep my systems basically forever so resale value isn't much of a factor, just hope it doesn't end up getting worse and coming completely apart...[/QUOTE]

It'll be worth getting fixed. Its only going to get worse over time. You can live a week without it.

Very interesting. I didn't know rental places had deals like that and didn't just buy the discs at wholesale to rent.

The concert I went to last night was pretty entertaining (Bloodsimple and Hellyeah)

The concert itself was decent for being in a very small and extremely hot building, but seeing 4 people get choked out by security made it all worth $20.

Keep in mind that its Memorial Day weekend. Whenever its a holiday weekend the following Tuesday studios tend not to release anything really big or worthwhile. In fact I somewhat remember at one point Wrestlemania 23 was penned in to be released next week. Then all of a sudden it got pushed to this week. Not that it matters since for all intent purposes WM23's DVD sales have been absolutely weak sauce.

Norbit was a shit movie but it will be #1 in DVD sales on release week.
Click to expand...

Seeing that its only competition is "Hannibal Rising" your prediction is right on the money. Sure "Hannibal Rising" might sell a copy or two but knowing the average person where I live they will snatch up "Norbit" left and right regardless of what we might say about it.

Me personally... I was going to rent it via Netflix but after seeing HomeTheaterForum's scorching review and remember how bad it looked on the ads I'm skipping this dud all together.
 
[quote name='sixersballernum3']Thanks. I got that. Although maybe that's the only way.

Yeah I looked on GFAQs at some of the pogeymanz codes and they are quite lengthy. I am debating on getting one myself that way I can get some pokes from the GBA games that I don't have.
