I may have to go pick up the box set of the three; it's going for ~$100 Cdn ($33 per movie), which is better than buying them separately.

I think greed is an oversimplification though; it has more to do with pride. Both sides want to be known as 'the format that won the HD war.' Sony has a score to settle after so many failed and marginal formats (Beta, MD, SACD, 8mm), and Toshiba wants to retain its crown as developer of the DVD format. Whoever has the most support wins the war, and it's looking like a deadlock @ this point.

I saw something @ EB Games today: it's an Atari console preloaded with ~20 games, and it comes with Atari 7800 style joysticks. Goes for ~$50 Cdn.

I would ditch the ordinary CD-ROM for the time being; CD burners are so cheap now that they're relatively disposable. My DVD-ROM drive dies, so I replaced it with a DVD +/-RW drive and am using my CD-RW burner as my CD-ROM drive.

I can see Pioneer playing both sides of the fence. They were one of the first companies to come out with a DVD player that would play both DVD-A and SACD.

I mean, the whole concept of the series kind of takes what we were expecting out of the prequels and throws it in our face. What was the one of THE things were looking forward to seeing in this new trilogy? The mysterious Clone Wars of course. But wait, what's this? In-between movies? We get a cartoon show instead? With Sith Witches? What is this, The Matrix?

No, it's Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack. He fulfills the promise that GL has repeatedly reneged on.

I've seen ANH in theatres 3 times, ESB 4 times and ROTJ once. Once for TPM and twice for AOTC (including the IMAX Experience).

As a side note, I actually saw TPM bootlegged on the internet before seeing it in the theatre.

Thats the reason why I don't own a single article of red clothing.[/q

Please elaborate. I've never heard of this before....

There was a great explanation of the 'red shirts' in Wednesday's episode of Lost, but here goes: every time Kirk and co. went down to a planet's surface to investigate, among the away team would be @ least one anonymous crew member wearing a red Starfleet shirt. This guy was most likely to get killed during the away team's mission, and eventually it became so predictable during the series' 79 episode run that the phenomenon became known as "The Red Shirt Curse." The only crew member to beat the curse was Scotty, and that was because he was a regular cast member.

Which is exactly what I've been saying since the forums opened. Nice to see someone of a similar mind among the newer recruits.
