So, a bit of retail therapy for myself at Fry’s this weekend. I hadn’t gone there for a long time (for a reason, it’s a very dangerous place for me)

I went with few things on any official list, but with the idea that I deserved a browse and a few impulse buys…

As I walked in, I saw shopping carts BRIMMING with drastically-reduced (some as low as $7) HD-DVD’s. Now, I did end up buying a PS3, so most of my new movie choices are purchased in the Blu-Ray format, but Steve did buy the HD-DVD add-on to the Xbox before the format officially died and since we had a few movies, I had never thought it necessary to unhook it.

Well, I went ape-s%^&!

I picked up a copy of pretty much every A-list movie that interested me and had been released in the HD DVD format, sometimes for less than what the plain old DVD would cost, including:

Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket
Goodfellas
March of the Penguins
Galapagos

…others Ican’t even remember. It will take me a while to re-watch all these great movies, but it’s going to be fun!


I also picked up a 1GB thumb drive for $9 and the latest version of Guitar Hero.

…AND a cute guy who was working there went bonkers over my t-shirt and asked me where I got it!

All in all, a fun day!
