Just to be thorough, it's one code good for up to 2 tickets/$24. Works like a one time use credit card, so I don't think you could buy the tickets separately.

Yes, the coupon is good for "admit two" up to 24$. Expires 3/20, and not good at AMC theatres.

I got the trailer for the game, but I also got a movie clip "You're Coming in Too Low", I think. Check your Video blade for recently downloaded things.
Still, I had hoped for a little more.

Oh well, basically free points with movie ticket purchase....of course, by the time I buy movie popcorn (which I know is a ripoff but it's part of the moviegoing experience for me) and babysitting, we're back to paying for stuff again.

Interesting...Rumored that MS is putting the Elite out to pasture, and keeping it as a limited edition bundle like RE, or selling the (way overpriced) larger hard drives separately.
I got an Elite and have been glad I did, my HD is close to full.

Tried out a couple of demos last night:

Chronicles of Riddick: :up: :up: - solid. I can't wait to play this one. Played just like I remember. Looks like they changed the health/needle animation. No needle? :(

Wanted: Weapons of Fate: :up: - pretty decent. Controls are a little sluggish though. The first time I saw the difficulty settings had me :lol:

So I requested a hard drive transfer cable from MS by fax on Monday or Tuesday and it arrived already. Not bad!

I just put "On Order" for my new Xbox serial number.

Hi. Has anyone here played Too Human? I know it sort of got killed in the reviews, but I found it at Target for $9.98 and thought I should at least pick it up to see if it's any good. The demo didn't do much for me but it was short and limited. Any input one way or the other before I open the game would be appreciated.

I picked it up for that same price and have a guide for it, so I'm curious to see how it is as well.

Yeah, I hated the Too Human demo but like I said before....Huge price drops make me more forgiving.

I guess I'll be stopping at Target tomorrow.

I thought it was worth it at full price ;)

Cool, thanks for posting that. Maybe I will upgrade one of my silver accounts so I can play RB2 Voxtar/Voxdrums on Live. That's the kind of thing I would only do as an impulse purchase. If I have to order from Amazon I would have too much time to come to my senses...

Two-Year-Old Girl Offered For Sale Over Xbox Live

By Luke Plunkett, 7:00 AM on Wed Mar 11 2009

Over the weekend, pranksters spammed Xbox Live users with a message advertising the sale of 23 year-old Christa Manos' baby girl. The message included her phone number. Manos is not impressed.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...03/sadgirl.jpg

She was soon fielding angry, abusive phone calls from parents across the United States, some berating her for being a terrible parent, others content just to call up and threaten her. Which is a little mean. I mean, the ad was offering free shipping.

Manos - from Punta Gorda in Florida - has "a good idea who is responsible", though local authorities are still conducting an investigation. If caught, the perpetrators could face criminal use of information charges.

Child for sale? [Charlotte Sun, via GamePolitics]
:lol:

I love that picture!

and oh yeah, Florida!

I love this quote from the mother of the 2 year-old that was "for sale":


"By the 18th or 19th call, I knew something wasn't right," proclaimed Manos.
Because 15, 16, and 17 are normal...

Sounds like hogwash to me. A little early for April 1 aren't they.
Plus they should try to make it more funny next time.

Err... I assume that pic is a mock up, and that it was just spam messages to Xbox Live users...

Why the hell aren't you all playing 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand?! If 50 Cent went through the trouble to get somebody to make one of his dreams into a video game, the least you could do is play it.

The game is maybe the funniest thing I've played since Conker's Bad Fur Day. But for totally different reasons of course.

Because it costs more than its name.
