Yeah I jumped all over the 19.99 Seabiscuit. Almost purchased it when it was 26.99 from Amazon and then almost spent 27 at Best buy. Patience definitly does pay off sometimes. Ordered Traffic, Seabiscuit & Leathal Weapon 1 (was in my Amazon Gold Box and got an addition 1.50 off + 10% Off of 19.99) and of course went with the Amazon Super Saving Shipping Option. Total came out to be like 54 shipped for all 3 , not bad.

I ordered this title. Can't wait to see it: my wife's all-time favorite and one of mine favorites also. Amazing that I didn't order it yet (guess that has to do with the fact that I don't own a HD DVD player yet - I just ordered the A1 through Continental!)

I had planned to have Seabiscuit via Netflix for this weekend to watch (haven't seen it yet... just one of those films that slipped through the cracks). Instead, they shipped the #2 one on my list. D'oh!
I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. I'm really looking forward to this, given the universally positive reviews about the picture quality.

I got super lucky yesterday. I went to my local Comp USA to get my new Apple computer (WOO HOO!!!) and they had all of thier Blu Ray and HD-DVD titles on clearance. I guess they just arent going to carry them anymore, at least not this particular store. Everything was 13.99 and I picked up
Good Night & Good Luck
Perfect Storm
Phantom of the Opera (which was only 10.99 which I thought was odd)
Lethal Weapon
and finally, and this one is the kicker
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang for only 13.99.
Anyways if you guys have a Comp USA by you I would check it out, maybe its a local store thing and maybe not. Its worth a look.
Total came out to be 70.97 with tax. Not bad for 5 HD-DVD's including Good Night and Kiss Kiss.

My personally comp is a Dual 2GHZ PowerPC G5.As for the old apples, they are littered all throughout the house. I have a dual 2.0 Ghz g5 that I have used as my main computer for the last year or so which is still in 100% working order. I have a 1.6 Ghz Core Duo Mac Mini hooked up to my main entertainment system. I also have a dual 1.0 Ghz G4 and a 350Mhz Blue and White G3 and they are also in 100% working order. I swear to god these things just last forever. I have never had a single instance of an Apple computer going down on me and I have been using them since the days of Apple II's. I almost wish they would break as then it would give me an excuse to toss one of them. As is I just cant sell my Apple's.
I also just got a 15 inch 2.16 ghz Core Duo Macbook Pro back in July. I dont usually use laptops but I am getting a digital back for my Toyo 4x5 Camera and need a Laptop for it so I got one. Dont have my digital back yet and have only used the compuetr to install the software I am going to be using. Besides that it has just been sitting there waiting. I get my digital back in October so ill have some fun when that finally arrives.
And last but not least, My girlfriend has the 20 Inch iMac set up in our bedroom. I have never used it tho. That one is for her.
All in all its definitly a Mac household as the only thing relating to Microsoft in this house is my Xbox and Xbox 360. Its not that I hate Windows or anything, I have worked on windows machines for many years without any serious problems. I just am a Mac person through and through and have never purchased anything but Apple since the day I started buying computers. As I said before I have not had a single incident with a Mac computer going down on me. The only incident that ever happened to me was a failed HD like 30 days after I purchased the computer and it was a Maxtor.
Its actually really nice to see Apple doing so well these days. They doubled thier market share in Laptops in less than 4 months upon the release of the Macbook Pro and the numbers are coninuing to go up and up. It really looks like Apple is in a position to take a good chunk of the market. Peopl are no longer hesitant to try a Mac now that it supports Windows applications.
Anyways by the look of your collection of Computers I would guess you also have been a Mac man for a long time and doesnt look like your gonna change any time soon. Ah the Mac!!

20" 2.16GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo iMac (not much done here considering its so new. Just 1GB Ram, 250GB HD)
Dual 2.66GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo Power Mac (1GB Ram, 450GB HD, 23" Cinema Display)
17" iMac Flat Panel Display (280GB HD, 1GB Ram)
17" PowerPC PowerMac (With 512MB Ram, 80GB HD)
The greatest part is that 3-4 of my friends have converted over to Apple after a trip to the Apple Store

We also have some older BW G3's kicking around that we're recycling soon.
Anyhow, back on topic, It's rumored that CC is going to stop carrying HD-DVD so I may stop by their place and see what they have some titles for. Obviously I don't expect a deal as good as what you got man, but I can dream can't I?

As for the Comp USA titles, I went back to try and get some more of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Good Night & Good Luck to sell on ebay but they were sold out. All they had left was Phantom of the Opera and 16 Blocks. I didnt see 16 Blocks when I was there the first time so I picked up that title as well for 13.99. . Not super cheap deals but still good deals none the less.
