    Original theatrical versions won't happen with GL still alive, and there will probably be some kind of contract signed, dated, witnessed, sculpted, copied and verified by God stating that it will never happen even after he's gone. He's already said multiple times that the SE and any current versions are closer to his "original vision." I never bought anything but Episode 2 on dvd and the latest sets came out after bluray so it was only a matter of time. I'm excited and the CE will be a welcome edition to my collection. Regardless of what versions they are. As for 3D not being popular in the home market, that's entirely untrue. Sales are incredibly high and are set to double this year. And that's not just 3D "capable" tvs, that's actual tvs with glasses and everything.

    Not going to claim to know anything more than anyone else when it comes to aircraft but how does a comic based 20 years in the future get it wrong? We can't really know what would or wouldn't work, can we? Let's assume I don't know why all these things are bad or wrong.

    The OT on the discs will be the 97' SE.

    It really sucks that for a new cartoon show made for a bunch of 30+ somethings that they did such a bad job.

    Have any of you guys seen the comic Titanium Rain? Based about 20 years in the future after the F-35 is in the full swing of things. I met one of the creators at Wondercon this year and kind of forgot about the whole thing until I was cleaning and found the card.

    Bluray is coming down significantly in cost. A lot of places have sales all the time for less than $10 too. Best Buy has almost 30 titles this week at $8 a pop. Starting May 8th they're going to be offering $5 a pop for old dvds towards over 130 bluray titles. You can get a good wireless player for $100-120 now and a 3D player for around $170. But as you said, where you are, buying them cheap may not be an option, in which case I make a frowny smiley for you. =(

    If anyone is dancing around anything, it's you. You seem to have skipped over anything I've said and just gone to "THEY HACKED IT AND THAT'S THAT." The guy who hacked the PS3 HARDWARE, George Hotz (geohot), didn't hack the HARDWARE looking for personal information. He broke and posted the rootkit, making it possible to mod the system to play any game regardless of DRM or to use an OS on it or pretty much whatever anyone wanted to use the PS3 HARDWARE for. Again, just like jailbreaking an iPhone. Directly, it had NOTHING, again NOTHING to do with PSN getting hacked. It's two entirely different things. What I said in regards to Sony being attacked was that they took NO EXTRA measures to ensure users' personal data would be safe when they KNEW there was a credible threat.

    The guy they are suing for hacking the PS3 is the same guy who jailbroke the iPhone. User information was not the target in either case. Again, unless there's more to the story that I haven't read, fill me in. Otherwise, you're on the wrong page about the origin of what's going on. In fact here and here. Everything here is speculation and a lot of online talk but: after Sony filed the lawsuit, the hacking group Anonymous told Sony to drop it or they would be sorry. Apparently Anon had already brought down PSN once before for a few hours citing that "hey, we can do it, don't ever go to a pay service like XBL or else" after Sony announced they might be doing so. Sony pretty much laughed in their faces and went on their merry way. This is what I was originally referring to when I said they should have listened. They can do whatever they want, it's their hardware, the problem is that they seem to have taken no extra measures to ensure their customers would be safe with a pretty valid threat sitting on the horizon. So, in essence, as far as I'm concerned, Sony deserved it. When the lawsuits start coming out of the woodwork, I'm sure they'll think twice about feeling so invincible in the future.

    The guy who "jailbroke" the PS3 stole and sold the information he found? I don't recall that part of the story. The guys who brought down PSN and compromised all of those peoples info? Burn em' at the stake for all I care. Does it have HDMI? If so, yes. It will work. However, for sound you'll need to utilize an optical cable and a secondary speaker system/headphones unless your monitor has some sort of speakers built in.

    They're saying at least another week.

    Haha. Instead of suing the guy, they should have hired him. Plain and simple. You don't see Microsoft suing the pants off of everyone and their cousin for unlocking the potential of the Kinect. They embraced it and it's most likely going to make them more billions. Fact of the matter is Sony was warned, and they sat back and scoffed and now their customers are suffering. I don't agree with it one bit and groups like Anon scare the poo out of me, but these companies that play with fire when told it's gonna hurt, deserve to get burned once in awhile.

    Sony should have listened to Anonymous and dropped the lawsuit.

    I dunno how real this is but it's definitely awesome.

    Tokyo Drift just isn't in chronological order with the others. The Fast and the Furious, Too Fast, Fast and Furious and Fast Five have to take place before Drift.

    Games, fun or productivity or a little bit of everything?

    That's actually pretty legit.

    Boondocks is hilarious. Anyone who watches it knows Aaron Mcgruder trashes black people just as much as white on the show if not more. His political stance is a hell of a lot more questionable than his racial tolerance. I think Black Dynamite will be done perfectly by him. Michael Jai White wrote it and is signed on for the voice. He must think it has some potential. Edit: I started every single one of those sentences with "I think."

    Is it just locking up, no blue screen or the screen going black? I've noticed a lot of times Vista and 7 will actually cause a bsod and give a proper corresponding code for bad ram. If the screen goes black and it locks up it's usually a graphics card heating issue.

    Try out IE9. Seems like it has a lot of potential.

    World of Warcraft did an amazing job again this year.
