Oh I know.  4:3 and all that nonsense.  I was just pointing it out for those who don't know.

Tbh, I have never seen a Kubrik film, and I don't plan to see one anytime soon. 

Walmart is advertising the hell out of this sale. I've seen it on a couple different channels on prime time tonight. National prime time television advertising is only for major sales.

Yeah, I just saw an ad for it as we speak.

That comparison of crashing my car into a tree versus damaging a cd is like comparing apples to dragons. One costs several thousands of dollars in raw materials and man hours to make and another costs a few cents of plastic stamped out of a machine that while the initial cost is huge should be pennies compared to the value of product it stamps out. Do you really think its reasonable for damaged media to be replaced for full price? Even if you send in the damaged one to verify it is indeed damaged its not like I called Nintendo up and said hey send me SSBM for nothing I won't prove that I do or do not own it! This is keeping in mind the fact that I'm supposed to have the right to back my media up myself but these companeis refuse to let me. It'd be one thing if I broke it and didn't have a backup because of my own willful ignorance then make me pay full for a new one its another when these guys do everything they can to willfully take our rights away. Its part why as much as I dislike Microsoft atm they are proving to be hugely brilliant with excelent customer service for replacing damaged discs of their games. They are not running a hypocritical line like Nintendo, Sony, and all movie makers are currently of saying we take away your right to make backups but we won't replace media for reasonable costs either.

And no its not because I'm worried about the kiddies I'm worried about my own rights with media. Besides being a console gamer I'm a PC gamer and fortunately the PC unlike the consoles has allowed me to burn copies of my games and use those play while the originals sit safe in their boxes the same for any movies in the house that see a lot of use because face it even if you are careful things get damaged. Yes the SSBM cd was my fault whatever since you are latching to that but what about the hundreds of other discs that I own and I'm sure others do too that they were careful consistently with and still got scratched. What about all the 360 owners who have never done anything wrong with their discs and they were scratched by bad drives. I think it would be a better world if we could just make back ups of our media like the law says we are supposed to have don't you?

Wow.

 You missed Blazing Saddles in HD Glory... Candygram for Mr. Mongo....

Wow thanks for the personal attack buddy. For your information not that its any of your business every single DVD in this house was purchased legally at a retail location. As are every single one of my PC and console games except for the MMORPGs that were digitally purchased and thankfully have no media that need to be stored. Nice to see though that your only rebuttal to me was to call me a thief and a bastard take your gradeschool insults elsewhere please.

And by the way if you think I'm such an accomplished pirate why would I waste breath discussing with people why I think the things companies are doing is wrong and just sit quietly mod my consoles and steal them anyways? No real pirate I've ever known spends time worrying about making the things they do easier they just do it and laugh off copy protection schemes as they go.

Please stop hijacking this thread. If you want to discuss the sale fine, otherwise there are other threads where you can discuss HD-DVD or Blu-ray.
