Well the PS3 is finally getting the last few of it's delayed games. Other than that the games releases have finally subsided.

On the DVD front though we've got a ton of great hi-def content on both HD DVD and Blu-Ray.

Finally I Am Legend shows up on the big screen, and adaptation of the classic Richard Matheson novel. Regardless of how close this is to the book, I plan on seeing it.

Orange Box one way or the other, pending final reviews for the PS3 version, which seems to be missing from the list. And I'll definitely be going to see I Am Legend this weekend, it'll be the first time I've been out to a movie since Die Hard.

I'm really looking forward to I Am Legend. Even if it's not that close to the book, it looks fun. I saw on the official website that it is rated PG-13. I wonder how many will continue to scream and whine about it because of that before actually seeing it...

I'm going to be checking out "I am Legend" as well. Looks great.

I'll probably be picking up Lost: Season 3 and Harry Potter on Blu-ray. Good week for movie releases in any case.

I don't know if that's accurate... their website says they just reached Beta 3, with lots more to do...

Anyway, Lost Season 3 and Bourne Ultimatum for me.
Spigot

I want to see Ultimatum but probably won't run out and buy it this week. Given that I don't own Season 2 of Lost yet (for some reason) I guess I'll hold off on getting Season 3 for a bit.

I wouldn't mind seeing I Am Legend at some point either... Otherwise, hooray for slow weeks!

Although I agree that sometimes the list isn't that clear when it comes to standard DVD, HD and Blu-Ray.

You can't just rent Ultimatum? I find I never buy DVDs unless they truly belong in my library or if I see them dirt cheap. Usually a rental is all I need anyway. That's why my library of movies is so small.

I'm waiting until they finish this expansion, then package it with the other expansion and original game, that'll be a deal.

I go to the website every so often, to keep track of the progress, and I am amazed at how focused they are on customers and keeping the game updated.

Maybe the extra slots are there? That is how most of the videogame boxed sets I have where 1 game came out before the 2nd one.

Nothing on this list of interest to me except I am Legend.

It got quite a bit of praise when it first came out. I think a lot of people have kind of forgotten about it by now though.

I'm eyeing Luxor, Indianapolis, Orange Box and Super Swing 2. As I've seen more and more of it, I've gradually lost interest in I Am Legend - I just enjoyed the story too much to see it rewritten for a movie like that.
Evil Avnovice

I would only mess with Super Swing Golf 2....if the controls have been improved. They were way too sensitive in the first game.

Other than that, my wallet is spared once again.

It has become like Civilization or the Sims, instant gold. But the real answer is that it is on PC. I really want to try playing it, but my prejudice against turn based play makes me wary.

I loved Voltron as a kid. Loved it. Then I saw it again now that it's being re-aired on Adult Swim. Man, did that ever destroy a ton of nostalgia. I'll still probably get them for my son when he gets a little older, he loved the music in the beginning when he was a couple of months old.
