Get this... So I get Rock Band PS3 for x-mas and like most my guitar stops working correctly after a few days. I call EA (since they are doing support...I hate EA). They send out an guitar within 5 days that looks like some refurbashed, scratched up POS. I call EA back and they say they will send another but this one sits on a shipping dock for a week or so. After numerous attempts of sitting on hold (for 40 minutes per attempt) trying to get the right person at EA I decide to call Harmonix direct. Harmonix steps in and gets me one of the head support folks at EA. This guy totally hooks me up. I end up with: -5 guitars (I have to send 1 back) -Madden 08 (too bad they shipped me the 360 ed) -NHL 08 (too bad they shipped me the 360 ed) -Need for Speed Burnout -An extra drum pedal (I'm going to hook them both up at once) I'm awaiting an e-mail back about the wrong versions they sent but the guy is so cool he'll probably just tell me to keep them and send me new ps3 one's to boot. At least that's what I'm hoping happens. I also gave him some feedback about the rosters for NHL asking them to get them right and offered a goalie mini game suggestion that the developers said they might look into using. Moral of the story...if EA jerks you around call harmonix to get better support from EA. Rock on!

Saw it yesterday with the usually motion sick wife....she was totally fine. both of us enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it. Best monster movie in a very long time.

So if my wife get motion sickness from blair witch will she from cloverfield? Is the shakeycam any better? Thanks....I'm trying to talk her into going.

Looking for a pair for both home defense and for display. I've got enough guns but not enough blades. When I was in Japan all I could find were replicas some were very high quality like this guy who sold them near the castle in Kyoto but most other places only had cheap crap. I also wouldn't mind something that one could practice cutting with

Do any of you guys know where to get a good set of samurai swords. I'm looking for high quality, arrives very sharp, and is reasonably priced. What metal would you choose?

I'd do 500 but I'd wait until I'm at least 50 years old before I do it. I figure lifes pretty much downhill at 50 unless I do go into cryo. Wake up 500 years later, you have a ton of money from interest, some valuable vintage stuff in storage and a chance to get your body repaired or get a cyber body like Ghost in the shell. Than i can live a second life. Hell If I could get a cyber body like in GITS I'd do that within the next 10 years.

I have both that I might be willing to part with. THe officers pod is in fair shape and the regular battle pod is pretty much mint the first edition with box included. PM me if interested

Try playasia they had some up for preorder the other day. Plus you can use the playasia coupon code.

I'm happy that blu-ray is going to win...I really can't stand microsoft and toshiba The icing on the cake would be if the xbox360 was found to be utterly unworthy of a blu-ray upgrade making the PS3 the real winner. It would be hilarious if all blu-ray upgrade compents made the 360 go red ring of death... GO Blu-RAY!!

I saw the movies back in april or may and think they are way better than the anime. I thought the acting was good and even the subs were pretty good. I'd buy it if it were released in the states.

Can anyone tell me what the contents of Volume 8 of the new macross 7 remaster is. All I get are extras. Are there actually episodes on this disk?

I'm starting to think that Makoto Shinkai! is the next Myazaki-level creator in Anime. His works are phenominal.

Does anybody know of a DVR rip (aka ISO) torrent of the new macross plus remaster? Its not like its going to be released here so its probably legal to download. If I can get a copy I'll try ripping the audio from the english release and add it to the new remaster version.

Heads up. For those that picked up the TOM TOM One LE from best buy. My local Tom Tom rep told me that they had a bad batch and those that do not have a little white dot (a sticker) on the bottom are defective. I went through 2 of the bad one's before getting a good one. Units without the dot will not pick up any satallites until they are updated...too bad that because of the defects that takes about 3-5 hours with a 5GB connection. When I got the good unit it took about 10 minutes to updae it and it worked before I updated it. BTW the little white dot is about an eighth to a quarter inch wide and will be on the bottom of the package near one of the bar codes. Cheers

Isn't it possible to just rip the subs off the originals on macross plus? Same goes for mac 7 with the HK versions. The subs aren't great but they should work if one could isolate the files. The bigger question with macross plus is to just rip the english audio...I like the english audio...and add it to the remastered video?

Question, How difficult would it be to rip the english audio and subs out of the old manga release and combine them with the new remastered video? I can't imagine this would be too difficult. Second Question, Will anybody on Macrossworld be subbing the new edition of macross 7 as was done for the FX copies of DYRL. Happy holidays.

So I anybody hacked one of those tomtom one gps units? If so do you know of any good sites to learn how?

The gundam games for PSP are quite fun. I've played all except chronicles and gerins greed. Definitely worth getting.

Anbody tried this Magazone 23 game? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-23za.html

It's ok, I'm not offended or anything. Yeah I've sold a couple...but that's the only way I get to keep one. My wife's totally against the idea of spending over $200 on a game system. As far as picking up extra's this year...I wasn't planning on it and I just happened to go into 2 stores at the right time. If another family member or close friend wants it...its theirs. Otherwise it either will go up on ebay 2 weeks before xmas or to a charity auction. Years ago, I donated a ps2 to a charity that auctioned it off for $900 when they first came out. It just depends on how much I've given to charity this year, I gotta check with the my accountant. Also when I do sell them on ebay I usually just sell them as a buy it now for $50 over retail rather than the guy trying to double his cash on them. Most likely a relative or friend will claim this one too. I kind of like the surprised look on a relatives face when they find that I have one that I'm willing to part with. Also like many of you I'm pretty sick of my wii too. Although I did buy the new wii zapper which is fun. Overall, I'm much more pleased with my PS3. To bad I had to sell a butt load of my macross toys on here to get the PS3.

So 2 weeks ago I picked up a wii to sell on ebay. Turns out that my sister in law wanted it so I let her have it instead. Today I'm walking through the mall and walk into gamestop and ask if the wii's are looking pretty sparse this year and the guy and the counter says, "Wii have one left"... So I said I'll take it. He yells to the back for someone to grab it and before it gets to the front there are 4 calls from people looking for one within about 3 minutes. Next stop Ebay. I think I have a knack for finding these things. Last year I bought a total of 8 on 13 inquires before x-mas (4 for myself and relatives and 4 went to ebay). The year I've got 2 in 2 inquires.

I guess wii's are sitting in costco's and not moving here in MN. they come with mario party 8 and an extra controller...A friend of mine said there was a full pallot at his local costco and nobody was buying them. I also got a couple of wii zappers. They are really fun but it makes my hand cramp up a little. Not the most ergonomic design.

Has anybody heard of the freedom V wireless guitars (flying V) work with rock band?

So I got my Blu-Rays the other day...but they were out of the Italian Job...so they sent me HAPPY FEET could they pick a movie more different than the italian job. Buene Vista are a bunch of idiots. So I took Happy Feet and a few of the other so so movies back to a store and exchanged them for something else. I still need to get rid of kiss of the dragon and blazing saddles though.

Got it but haven't played it yet...I price matched TRU at circuit city...that way I get a $25 GIFT card that I'm more likely to use....plus the wii blaster comes out next week from what I've heard. Gotta get 2 or 3 of them.
