QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Let me know if you like it. Hell no im not doing that.. the $7.95 a month is just a starter price, this is what the real prices were.. $25 a month for 2 games at a time $15 a month for 1 game at a time So lets do the math.. For $300 a year I can "rent" 2 games at a time or I can buy and own 5 games For $180 a year I can "rent" 1 game at a time or I can buy and own 3 games This isn't even taking into account that I have gotten between $20-30 in credit for games that I have traded in at Gamestop thus reducing the price of a new game from $60 to $30 to sometimes free.. For instance, I have Madden12 and GOW3 right now, plus a $5 preorder on Batman AND an extra $20 from my last store credit Currently, Arkham City is going to cost me $40.. Well I plan on trading in Madden and Gears before I pick up Batman.. Gears already has an automatic $30 trade in if you do it before November 19th or something.. that drops Batman down to $10.. Now add in Madden, which is prolly going to be between $20-25.. now Batman is free and I have extra credit to go into my account.. Oh, and I forgot to mention I get an extra 30% on my trade ins due to it going towards Batman and me being a powerup member.. So basically, I am going to get about $65-70 for trading in two games which will give me a new game at no cost to me, and leave me with extra credit in my account for the next game I will be buying (MW3) Basically, after seeing the prices, I don't understand how Gamefly gets any business ESPECIALLY from a casual gamer.. Why would you spend all that money a month when realistically buying games and trading them in when you're done with them is far and away a better financial decision.. Honestly, I cant remember the last time that I paid full price for a video game, its been years..

So apparently they want to do a huge main event at Survivor Series that would be an Anti-WWE team against a WWE team and the Anti-WWE team would be like Miz, Truth, Nash and some people against Cena, Rock, HHH, Punk, and Undertaker or Stone Cold.. If this is the case, im ok with what they are doing right now as anything to have a traditional like SVS ppv would be pretty sweet.. And it also said that it could increase the likelyhood of getting Austin to wrestle Punk at mania..

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) It was supposed to be the whole locker room and there were a ton of "rivals" out there, just not standing together. Critic is correct, it was done to not get those guys heat, which is stupid and once again, Punk's character apparently has done a complete 180 on the wwe in the last 3 weeks here. It's awful. The smackdown spoilers are infuriating by the way, I'll leave it at that for now. There were a ton of midcard "rivals" out there, but nothing from the main event scene currently.. Plus, there were plenty of fan favorites out there as well.. The thing this is doing, imo, is setting it up to have Trips removed from power because someone else is sabotaging him It doesnt really take away from CM Punk, because hell be in his own storyline eventually.. he took over #1 merch sales from Cena and from what I have seen on wrestlezone the plans are to have him in the spotlight for the forseeable future..

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) Kenny said it's time to play the kids. At 30, Ramirez is no kid. And didn't he say he was 33 actually? I swear I heard that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) I rented it anyway. Wow, Blockbuster, thanks for the super-competitive pricing. $7.49/month unlimited games/movies 1 at a time (an introductory rate). I'll beat this, then just pick up other crap. Thats a sweet deal, unfortunately for me the last blockbuster I knew of shut down about 2 weeks ago around me.. Ive been thinking of trying the gamefly route

Are you guys serious? How much sense would it make to have Orton and Mark Henry standing next to eachother, concerned about HHH and how things are going under his watch.. maybe CM Punk, Del Rio, and Cena could have all put their arms around eachother and brainstormed a few questions to ask.. Some people didn't need to be out there because it would have looked stupid..

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) Weird and somewhat interesting ending to Raw last night. Most of the roster (no main eventers came out), along with refs and announcers, aired their grievances to H (basically saying it's an unsafe working environment with him in charge) and then walked out, along with the cameramen (a nice touch), leaving Tripsy alone in the ring to play to the crowd (which he couldn't resist, of course). I hate that the entire show has become about The Nose, but at least that was an unusual twist. When it went off the air Ryder came back out and said he changed his mind and he has confidence in Trips, and then got a pedigree..

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 08:15 AM) that would be pretty funny to just pull him for a week. what kind of message does that send? "dont say politically incorrect things or you get your hand slapped. then all is forgiven" The thing I read on yahoo said it was pulled last night and would be back pending how he acted over the next week.. Ide assume it will be back though

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 04:43 AM) That's a little absurd. College programs like Indiana have their ups and downs all the time. I don't know if it will be this year but Indiana is too huge in the state to stay down for a long period of time. Too much pressure on the program whether it will be Crean or someone else. I was joking, I just don't like He Gawn OR Indiana anything..

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 12:09 AM) He has no power, no ability to get on base. Great defense is a plus, but that only gets you so far, even if it's at the SS position. Are we talking about Beckham now!?

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) At what point have I had ridiculous expectations in this thread? I said this year I was finally excited about Indiana Basketball. Have you watched IU the past few years? We should be a bubble team. In the coming years, yes IU should be very formidable. Nice comprehension. You always have ridiculous expectations, IU will never be good again.. just accept it

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 05:50 PM) I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you're listening to the crazies, but any mildly intelligent fan can tell you Crean has had a gigantic free pass up to this point; no one's expected anything. This year, I'm expecting a little below .500 in the B1G, MAYBE .500. If we make the NIT or something my expectations will have been surpassed. lol, tell that to He Gawn..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Lotta big comeback wins/collapses today. Bills/Bengals, Iggles/49ers, Cowboys/Lions. If it weren't for those 3 comebacks I would have gotten every game picked right in my pick em this week..

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 2, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) ADR f***in blows. Miz and Truth are seriously awesome though. Yes they are awesome And whats even more awesome is there is a website where you can buy the PPV and stream it for $5!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 06:32 AM) Holiday World is pretty awesome. So you are wrong wtf, this was suppose to be in the basketball thread.. regardless, ew

there is nothing good about anything in Indiana.. yuck

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) - Leading 12-0 and almost losing the opener. haha cmon greg, we had a 5 run or greater lead the ENTIRE game.. we didn't come anywhere near close to losing the opener..

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) I'm going to get ripped and play the Battlefield 3 demo tonight with some buds online like I'm in college again. Tomorrow morning will be absolutely awful at the gym prior to work. Is it working yet, when I tried earlier the EA servers were down.. which is hilarious that you release this big demo and then no one can even play it

I choose Joe Mauer

Oh and since I just popped in here and saw that baby comment, tomorrow we get to find out if its a boy or girl so I am pretty excited about that..

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) I wanted to keep our manager, Ozzie Guillen. But since he's gone, it's a no brainer. Francona is available. GET HIM! I'd take their regular season record in the Central Division any day. Except we wouldn't have that regular season record as we don't have the same talent as they do, nor the ability to get that kind of talent with our current financial situation..

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) That's what my brother in law said. Said he was still going to play everyday. Well then he couldn't play on Wednesdays. Then he couldn't play on Wednesdays and Sundays. He wanted the weekend, so then he couldn't play on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Then it became during the week. Needless to say, 7 1/2 months into his child's life, he no longer plays XBox. Atleast you have another year and a half though. Obviously I cant sit up playing Call of Duty till 3 in the morning anymore soon here but I will still be able to get some gaming in.. I don't think I would ever be able to just give it up as I enjoy it too much, but then again my wife could put the kaybash on that

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 06:44 PM) Do you think wrestling is a sport? If you don't, you still have sort of a point. If you do, then well... Its entertainment, im not 12..

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 02:08 AM) Oh right, exactly... Honestly, people need to stop equating talented Managers and FO executives with winning a title in the previous three years. That basically means there are only about 10 people in the entire industry that have a clue what they're doing... And if that were the case, do you really think their current employers would ever let them go? Its just funny that the Red Sox won a world series and have 1 playoff appearance and a huge September fade since and that's pretty much what we've seen here recently.. and now people want that manager

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 29, 2011 -> 02:06 AM) He's a proven manager. s*** happens. Why do people think Martinez is so great? Oh I know why. He's the unknown again. The sexy unknown. He's never been a manager so we want him as the sexy choice. Just because things fall apart doesn't mean Francona isn't a baseball god! He's experienced and should be our next manager IMO. If Sox are too cheap that's just crap. Have fun drinking your $10 beers next season at the Cell and paying a ransom for parking as we rebuild with a rookie manager. There would be a very shallow pool of coaches in professional sports if people were never given an opportunity to become a great coach..
