I just wish they did Blu-rays.  Maybe they'll come out with Blu-Box next.

I pre-ordered TDK. I'm scared it might get sold-out in store.

Has anyone on here discovered Redbox dvd rental machines yet?  They've been around a while, but we just got them in our town.  Very cool...swipe your debit card, pick a movie, machine spits it out.  $1.00 a day, and the best part is you can return the disc to ANY Redbox location.  The discs have a chip on them so they're identified with your account and the machines are networked...at least that's how I assume it works.

A buddy of mine uses that thing all the time.  One time we were on our way home from somewhere and he had to stop off and drop a movie off that his girlfriend had rented.  He asked me to run in drop it off. 

There were 3 people in line, and you can't just put it in... you have to push some buttons first, so I had to wait.

It took me over 20 minutes to return the movie.

Right there I swore never to use that thing.

I heard they're only making 10,000 copies of The Dark Knight DVD and it's exclusive to K-Mart and it's fullscreen only.

NO SALE, WARNER BROS!!!!

That's the one with the chase gold batarang instead of the normal silver one.

What's up with the break on release dates?  Saw plenty of Kungfu Panda out today and saw plenty of both SW Trilogies out a week early.  What happened to Tuesdays?

Kung Fu Panda was scheduled for tomorrow anyway but I saw it at Target today as well.  The SW sets broke the street date at Target by almost a week in some places.  I'm not exactly sure what's going on lately.

Wish they'd broken Tuesday's street date on the Clone Wars movie, I'd be watching it right now!  ;D

The "movie" holds nothing compared to the episodes on CartoonNetwork.

I had KFP on my list as a weird Friday release - I'm not sure where I got it from, but it caught my eye the other day when I went to see what was coming out.  I saw the DVD at every store I went into yesterday, but there was no sign of the Blu-ray yet.  So, I think it was released already.

I noticed that Kung Fu Panda was out everywhere here on Saturday already as well.  It wasn't even an "ooops" either, as Target had a big front display set up by the checkout lanes and everything.  I also noticed the SW sets out early at our local Target stores.  Its too bad we already have the movies (or several versions) as the packaging is kind of nifty.  I noticed in this week's Target ad that they are having a 5 pack of the Harry Potter movies for around $35.  Pretty nice deal for someone who hasn't gotten them (although the picture in the ad was fullscreen, so I don't know if they have both versions or not).

The more hardcore DVD buyers (Rob and Matt) probably already know this, but deepdiscountdvd's sale is currently ongoing.  Previous years it was only 20%, this time it's 25% off (with free shipping).  I placed an order on Saturday for the Batman: The complete Animated series (just over $54), Mask of the Phantasm and a few Godzilla movies.  Unfortunately, the animated Batman ones are out of stock, but the sale price will still apply once they restock, whenever that may be.

The sales lasts until November 23rd, so I'm going to place another order for movies that come out in the next few weeks - Kung Fu Panda, Hellboy 2 and Wall-E - that I want to pick up.

DVDTALK and USATODAY work for codes and I'm sure they're a bunch of others also.

Anybody buying Clone Wars today?  I really hated the "movie" but it's Star Wars so I must have it for my DVD collection.   :-\


I do enjoy the weekly shows on Cartoon Network except for last weeks episode.
