    Best Buy

    by steve young

    It is advertised in the weekly for $89, but the stores I've visited aren't advertising that price - all placards still read $139. Definitely get the price adjusted if they are overcharging. I'm still wondering whether or not I should jump on this one...

    by kurutteru yatsu

    But between West Wing and Wire, not to mention all the other deals out there right now, this really sucks. There's also bills and shit too, I guess, but come on. Look at those prices.

    Venture Bros Cover

    by stuntman mikey

    SKIMN - actually its a genius recreation of the cover art for what i'm sure would have been a horrendous Atari 2600 game. Seriously, that dvd cover art is inspired. Makes me long for the days of the 2600!!

    Reply to Talkback

    the Venture art is INCREDIBLE and clever.
