I sooooooo did a post about the FREE PS3! Look here at my post! hahaha!
That free PS3 ain't a bad deal, if you've got $2000 to drop on a new HDTV that is.
Consider that you get the TV, a PS3, a game, a BluRay movie, and five free BluRay movies ontop of that. It's a pretty decent haul actually. Now if only someone could convince me that I need a 3rd HDTV and that I actually have $2,000 saved somewhere...
Oh, and that the PS3 would be worth the money.
I can't wait till cheap BluRay players come out and then I can stop all this internal struggle over getting a PS3. A cheap BluRay player would solve all my problems. MS? You guys planning on killing HD DVD yet?

@shoprite price...
There's a limit of 4 Xbox 360's per person, people, move along, nothing to see here.
Ohh! Giant plastic tubs only $6.99?! Oh, a limit of 6? WTF?!
They should change their name to RATIONCITY!

Nice job on the scoop, but I gotta find out where William Haley lives since he considers New York City and the Tri-State area a part of Butt Fuck Egypt.
Hey, I didn't know CheapyD came here. I was going to post this at CAG too, but I forgot my password and got lazy when it asked for my email address. Sorry Cheapy!
@ william haley
My grandfather actually helped start shoprite after he got back from WWII, its a chain of supermarkets that are heavily saturated in NJ and more sporadically throughout other east coast states. sadly, i did grow up in an adobe. but shoprite did pay for my college and in a wierd sort of way is helping me publish my first graphic novel, which is awesome. I don't think i took offense to this, but i did just get out a long drunk argument trying to convince my roommate that Lord of War is in fact a bad movie.

Lord of War has a message, and therefore teh n3rds will always try to argue that it's a good movie, regardless of the fact that it is not. At all.
I live in LA, and therefore anything that isn't California, Las Vegas, or Tokyo is BFE to me. It's the internet, I don't have to make sense.

Aww, Mxyz... I would have worded my last post differently if you had posted sooner.
I of course didn't mean you, I meant all the other nerds ...

The movie is heavy handed in its style, the dialogue and script as a whole are laugh out loud bad, and jared leto is a douche (except for fight club or requiem). Everytime Nick Cage opens starts narrating, it gets worse. But I truly don't think its that bad, its just that my roommate, a professional cinematographer with great abilities, though it was perfect.
Everytime Nick cage opens his mouth, is what that should say. I sadly keep leaving out key words in my posts.
We could sit here all day and talk about "who started that fire", but i've get alibis. I was busy punching babies.
It certainly wasn't perfect, but I found it to be entertaining, enjoyable, and at least a little thought provoking. Heavy handed is right, though.
Sorry about the double post.
@Orcist
I agree with you, I'm just not gonna tell my roommate that, and will eventually force him to capitulate.

They're not attacking now, thankfully. But at any moment, the giant drunk baby air raid siren could go off and all of glendale could be lost.
Haha, no worries Mr. Haley. Different strokes. I don't think it's necessarily a great movie, but still enjoyed it quite a bit. I definitely agree that the flick is heavy handed and rather melodramatic at times. I overlook that stuff because it has some amusing moments, nice visual style (the opening I find especially cool) and I find the subject matter fascinating.
And Jared Leto is definitely a total douche.

The subject matter is definitely intriguing, which leads me to not liking it so much. Simply because such an awesome subject is stuffed in a shitty vehicle. Its still not the worst by any means.
I'm one of those people who actually noticed and cared about the execution of the opening sequence and how unrealistic it all was (a bullet that ALWAYS points exactly where the camera can get the best shot).
Right off the bat I was like "Okay, this is gonna be one of those movies with clever ideas and half-assed attempts at creating them on-screen." Plus, you know... Nic Cage.
So yeah, I'm that guy.

Thats exactly where i lay the blame of that movie, william haley. I believe that subject matter would work fucking brilliantly if it was treated more like the bourne supremacy.
Remember the days when Nic Cage in a movie was awesome? Then I grew up, found he's a fucking Coppola, and saw 8MM and Snake Eyes. But at least we still have The Rock. And Honeymoon in Vegas.
Raising Helen will last longer than christianity and islam combined. But it will eventually fall in a terrbly tragic fight with You, Me, and Dupree, simpley because Helen was outnumbered.
Talking about the triumph that is raising arizona, which has been a forerunner to such legends as the big lebowski, the man who isn't there, and o'brother where art thou? would not be nearly as much fun as running with raising helen. which i did. so maybe I'm just backtracking. but it was for the sake of comedy.
Man, Raising Arizona is total win.
I liked The Weatherman a lot too. In part because Nic Cage's character gets shit on the entire film, but mainly because Michael Caine is excellent in it.

@Mxyzptlk
I liked the weatherman as well, found it to be a great dvd watch at home. But more importantly, because, yes, Michael Caine is just amazing to watch and he was a great part of that film. And now, with the Mickey Caine in Batman Begins and The prestige, one can barely wait to see the win that is the dark knight. Interesting side note, i heard that the next superman is gonna be called "the man of steel" But seriously, price drops.

Yea, raising helen was the laugh riot that had kate hudson taking over the kids of her dead sister. almost as funny as schindler's list and hotel rwanda combined.
i live in jersey and there are a TON of shop rites here, its just a big supermarket, i have NEVER seen any video games in any of them though
How about that, I want to find out about an "alleged" 360 price cut and now I have to go rent Lord of War...
Shop Rite Sucks. I called three stores and no one had xbox 360s. Come to think of it, they probably didnt even check, they were just like "No, we dont, or check back tommorow?". I dont even think they know what an xbox is. Argh.
I actually had the pleasure of watching the wicker man after a couple of bloody mary's and some smoking, and man i that movie fucking hysterical. Just imagine Nic Cage riding a bike (not motorcycle) around, punching and snap-kicking women in the face, in what feels like a bad 90's horror game. Awesome.
