Ha Ha Ha that would be so awesome to see. I also agree that the dude completely overreacted. You handled it like a little kid. Smart ass remark on the first question, talking about his weight, and how jealous he is of you. That is some high school stuff right there. "Your fat and jealous of me because I'm cooler!!" Yeah, I agree with the cashier when he said, "I feel sorry for you." That line right there, owned you so much that you just lost it. In fact, I'll vote that one for the most devastating comment made towards a bbs member.
You should have gone "KG" on that mofo. That would have been cool. Instead, you went RevengeOfTheNerds on him. Not as cool.
I remember back when I worked in retail. Asking a person if they actually had the player to play what they were buying isn't far fetched. A lot of times, if you hadn't asked, that person would be in the return line the next day.

Star Wars Blu-ray box set coming soon http://bluray.ign.com/articles/108/1084415p1.html C2E2 10: Star Wars Blu-rays in the Works Sansweet reveals details on the highly-anticipated Blu-rays. by Chris Carle April 17, 2010 - Today in the IGN Theater at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet revealed anticipated information about the Star Wars films coming to Blu-ray. "We have been at work for a couple of years working on—I won't call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff—but, a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We're finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about… there are some real treasures." When will the set come out? Sansweet says, "We're not ready to announce exactly when it's coming out, but it won't be in the too distant future."
Soon is probably a long, long time from now. I am looking forward to the Adywan dvd version of ESB and ROTJ more anyway.
so i googled adywan i figured there was some ridiculous fanboys out there didnt know they went that extensive into re-mastering the film themselves. i am guessing its available via torrent only? i may download ep 4 to see how his version is
It rules, trust me. Everything that was wrong with the Special Editions have been fixed plus much more. It is pretty much perfect. Burn to dvd and watch on upscaling blu-ray / PS3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-iYH8b1UnU It's not illegal and can be found using JDownloader and rapidshare. (it took me a few days though) http://jdownloader.org/ http://www.fanedit.info/SW.html
shellatella: Thanks for that stratanica! you got that right. Yes I had to/was forced to change the music due to the Beatles like attitude of the superband MECO and they're copyright issues. The track I added is a little creepy I agree with you shadowselfballbag but it was the only track that would fit the 8 mins of the video. Please forgive me??? Apparently he had something better but was removed due to copyrights.
DOOMED _____ Despite Price Cuts, Blu-ray Sales Are Dwindling Home entertainment studios seem to have gotten over the whole "let's try and charge $30 for all new Blu-ray movies" thing, with prices generally closer to the $20 range. But general price cuts still haven't sparked the Blu-ray bonanza Hollywood was hoping for. Deadline relays a report from the NPD Group that says 116 million adults bought DVDs or Blu-ray discs in a six-month period ending in March, down nearly 10 percent from the same period a year ago. The NPD calls the disc market "disappointing" and muses "Blu-ray may not be the replacement for DVD that many once hoped for." To me, Blu-ray buyers seem to be a niche market of collectors rather than casual movie fans, since so many high-definition movies are available on streaming services. If you buy Blu-rays, what spurs you to make a purchase rather than wait for the movie to pop up on Netflix? link
KingCheetah- while I agree with you- I think it's a stillborn format, there are always people who like to collect things, which is why physical media will be around for a long time. However, Blu-Ray needs to drop to around $5 for me to pick up a casual copy. I can't believe that manufacturing for these things is too much more than a regular DVD.
If I recall, this same behavior happened with DVD. The change will come when the blu-ray players have more features and cost $100... and when blu-ray burners and media are dirt cheap. Right now, those are not true, so blu-ray sales will not take off as fast as the media companies wish.
It's not blu-ray's fault. You would have seen this issue if it was HD-DVD. Net-Flix would have killed anything any company would have invented. Streaming Vid > Vid on any type of physical storage device
