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.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
Tried out a couple of demos last night:
Chronicles of Riddick:
- 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: - pretty decent. Controls are a little sluggish though. The first time I saw the difficulty settings had me

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.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
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.

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.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
Microsoft is offering a $10 discount off Xbox Live Gold subscriptions to those currently set up with free Silver accounts. Ads for $39.99/year Gold accounts have popped up on Xbox.com and within the Xbox 360 interface, causing some confusion as to whether this is a permanent price drop.

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.
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.

I love this quote from the mother of the 2 year-old that was "for sale":
Because 15, 16, and 17 are normal...
"By the 18th or 19th call, I knew something wasn't right," proclaimed Manos.

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.

Why does every discussion have to come down to pricing? sigh...
