Thanks for posting that screen shot, John. There goes another $60 down the tubes. PGR is damn good, but GT5 looks hot.

Man, I have to say I Am Legend was a pretty good movie. Most scary movies have a cheese factor that's a little too high for me to really get into, but I do love most things post-apocalyptic - so that probably helped. A couple of damn scary parts. Oh, and there are some AWESOME dark scenes which ROCK on CRT. One in particular is excellent. Scary as hell.

So, this is CRT Party West and CRT Party East, yes? I just might be able to make the West Party. I've done Art's shindig two years in a row - might be time for a change. A little less driving and a little more partying is cool, too. Gotta check schedules with the ball and chain. There a hotel relatively close to your place, Cliff?

Later,
SC

Sweet. I thought you were a little farther out from the city. That's a WAY shorter drive than going to Art's from our friends' place in Lake Zurich. Wife and kids can do whatever they want and I come party wichyouguys. Checking calendar w/better half tonight...

I will show at Cliff's if there is room. I enjoyed the last one he had.

Hmmm... I better start thinking about the demo disc theme.

I've been tempted to buy a Blu-Ray burner... these meets might be a good excuse. Except the damn BD-Rs are still so expensive.

I have a couple freebie tickets with United to use up, so I suggested to the wife that Chicago would be a great vacation...

Hey,

thought I should mention that Radio Shack has GT5 on sale currently for $29.99.

It's in store only and sadly,.. My local store is not one to stock and sell PS3 games but thought I would mention it anyway.

It's not usually $60 anyway it's usually $39.99 so this RS sale is for $10 off regular price.

Who else is coming? Did I forget someone?

[Brian Hampton]

I don't have it.

(Mostly because my local RS doesn't have it but also because I just recently bought a few other games on Ebay so I'm kind of all out at the very moment.)

I hear it's good. Keep in mind it's a prologue to the actual GT5 so it's perhaps like a demo of sorts.

I'm going to order it anyways... I'll bring it to the meets. If I have any luck with making a decent demo/test BD-RE, I'll let everyone know and we'll figure out whether I should order a stack of blank BDs.

In addition to all of the software tools that I had for making the HD-DVDs, I recently bought Photoshop Premiere Elements which has some Blu-Ray menu authoring, so I'll play with that too.

My main objective is to try to get some real nice full-bandwidth 1080P clips... not the usual 1080i ts stuff.
