I hear that. Those cheapass things piss me off beyond belief.

Oh, and as to the topic, I was going to buy this DVD regardless, but getting a date was nice.

[MarsVolta]

Hell yea! Glad we didnt have to wait so long for it to come out. Its a damn good movie

[Kakihara]

I'm all over this.

[Andy]

Awesome, I fucking loved this movie. I'm really not liking this $30 bucks MSRP trend though, hopefully it'll still be like $20-25 at Best Buy on release day.

[Glock17]

Hell fucking yes, this movie is amazing. A must own on DVD IMO.

I've seen this twice in theatres and can't wait to get it on DVD. Having a date set is a nice thing.
