Well...it looks like I have two things to pick up when I head to Civilization(read: Southern Maine) on Wednesday....Animal Crossing and ATHF Volume 4.

At least these things aren't that expensive...

Ah, another week with no games to buy...

I will, however, be picking up Fantastic 4 on DVD and hitting the theater to see Narnia!

[OFF TOPIC]-I'm officially in Jack Thompson's camp where GTA San Andreas is concerned. I bought said game on Xbox for $20 from Best Buy yesterday and I'm corrupted! Let me explain - I was walking to work this morning and I saw a bike propped up against a wall... It was all I could do to NOT nick it and go tearing up the road. And this despite the fact that I have a bike of my own!! :rolleyes: [/OFF TOPIC]

Nothing for me to get either. The Prince of Persia games are in my library, but I'll play this in tandem with a friend who is a fan of the series at release and wait for it to get down to $20.

Btw, if any of you guys had trouble figuring out which PoP it is you should be excited about, it's the Two Thrones one. That's the true sequel. :)

Nothing for me this week. I'm happy, because DW8 is hogging up my weekends.

Still, a slew of great releases is always welcome, even if I can't play them right away. At least PoP is out, but I need to play WW first.

I can hardly wait for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I'm twitching in anticipation of some Narnia myself. Also, can't wait to pick up AC: WW today, although I do have to get two copies for both the wife and myself.

Good to see the PSP getting some lovin'. Anyone heard of that pinball game? My friend showed me a cool *ahem* import of a game out in Japan that you have to hold the PSP vertically to play. Not sure if this is the same one.

I wonder how Battles of Prince of Persia will hold up in the reviews.

Prehaps it's just caused by your contsant contest winning ability. Subconciously you now believe anything you see, you own. ;)

Just finished the two thrones and simply it is the best of the Triology, a grand ending fitting for the series that started with Jordan Mencher's classic game.

Woo hoo! Aqua Teen Hungerforce! That eases the pain of only 1 XBox 360 game coming out this month.

If Mario Kart DS is the DS's killer app, what will Animal Crossing:WW be?

I'll be finding out this week.

I can finally pick up both volumes of Clone Wars. No sense getting volume 1 without volume 2. I just hope they are priced (individually) accordingly and not like a full length DVD movie. I've caught the volume 2 episodes a couple times on Cartoon Network but I've never seen the volume 1 episodes.

As for games, nothing for me thanks. My WoWcrack addiction is too powerful.

Ah, hell...
I didn't even notice Clone Wars: Volume 2. I guess that's three things I need to pick up this week...dammit...
I just hope my significant other doesn't get to cranky with me.

Definitely want Animal Crossing, but I don't have a DS yet. I will in the next couple of months though.

Other than that it's yet another week where absolutely nothing interests me. I loved the Narnia books as a kid, but the trailer for the movie killed any interest that I had in a new adaptation.

I'm getting AC, even after some mediocre reviews. I think people had their expectations set too high for the multiplayer mode. I'm more excited about the new ATHF DVDs, which actually have episodes I haven't seen.......yessssss.

wow...i MIGHT go see narnia, but other than that the only thing ID pick up would be maybe ATHF 4.

I'm sure I'll pick up ATHF 4 as well, or at least start hinting strongly to gift-giving family members.

This may sound strange, but the fist thing I'll do when I get the DVD set is rip them all to xvid files on my computer. It's not because I want to pirate them. It's just that I find it so much more convenient to have them all at my disposal without having to swap DVDs all the time.

I'm picking up both The Rockford Files and Batman: The Animated Series volume 4 on DVD tomorrow. It'll be a good day.
