Yeah you're right, it isn't released until Tuesday. PlayUSA shipped it out so early that I have it in England before it's even released in America lol  ...

My gf is south african and she says that. I pull her up on it all the time by saying "Is it what?". That and "Just now" instead of "in a sec".

Got Bender's Big Score. And since the guy at the hockey shop can't get to my stick until Sunday or Monday, I had to buy a new stick that's at least a little better than my crappy 2x4 of a backup stick.

Real men use their hands instead of hockey sticks. Or their penis. Actually, that's pretty gay. Just their hands. Real men use their hands.
You don't look very happy, Dr. T!

Hard to score a goal with no stick; they don't let you propel the puck with your own hands unless its to yourself. I did stop a shot with the only unpadded section of my forearm, though, if that helps my case any.

The packaging for Bender's Big Score is bad and it should feel bad. Plus, the cover hurts my eyes. I got it with the Best Buy bonus disc, but what's in that slot if you don't get it from Best Buy? Nothing? [This message has been edited by BirthdayClown (edited 11-28-2007).]

It's probably a good job yours already had something in the slot...

I just bought mine from Walmart. I'm not sure what slot you're talking about. The flap on the left-hand side when you open the box? If so, there's nothing there except for an ad insert about nude volleyball.And I agree. This is the worst DVD package I've ever purchased. I demand an apology! What's the deal with those holographic "change angles and the picture changes!" things, anyway? They used to work for me when I was a kid. I'd look at it and see one image, and then I'd move to the right slightly and see a completely different image. But now whenever I look at them, I just see two images transposed over each other, and it gives me a headache. Has the "holo-tilty-image" technology gotten worse, or is this just a result of my eyes getting older and more stupid?

Yeah, that flap on the left.Dr. T, did you pull the holographic off? I started to pull it off, but I figured I'd just end up ruining the cover underneath. [This message has been edited by BirthdayClown (edited 11-28-2007).]

Highly overpriced Kings Of Leon t-shirt and beers (also highly overpriced) and a footlong Subway which wasn't exactly cheap either.
At least I was given €55 for one of the two tickets I had, so that pretty much covered it all with some change.

Well, I only have two, but if I had five, I'd give it 4.75. I too am disappointed at the packaging. The holo-change cover doesn't bother me, but I would've liked the bonus disc instead of the stupid insert about beach volleyball. I need a new avatar shirt. Mine's getting all faded.

Yesterday I went to Worst Buy and picked up Bender's Big Score with the apparently exclusive bonus disk. $17.99! Bonus disks are great, but store exclusives suck ass, sorry to those who didn't get it. I'll add another voice in disappointment at the packaging. The DVD is just stuck in a slot in the back cover! At least put a spindle in there instead of the slot so my DVD doesn't get scratched up. The artwork is cool, but the packaging material is really cheap and flimsy and the slot thing is a real downer. Futurama deserves royal treatment, dammit!

Got them If Mellls lived here, I'd chase them up to Sydney and Brisbane too but I'm also not made entirely out of gold, so that idea is being scrapped.

Yeah, actually. Since they have that "This DVD is HOT" logo and all that crap about being "carbon neutral" (which is a huge load, but whatever), I wonder if the craptastic packaging has anything to do with that? Oh and by the way, a holograph is the apparatus used to make holograms. Just like a camera is technically a photograph, and the picture you print is a photogram. That's been your useless fact for the day, courtesy of Roseanne and Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.

If I had a dick the size of a hockey stick, I wouldn't care if people thought I was gay, I would just laugh at them beaming with delight about my superior manhood!

If that's the case (with the case) I'm going to go burn down the Amazon or let my car idle in the parking lot for a really long time, just to show 'em.
