They do not OWN blockbuster. It's the own as in it's getting love there or something.

Example: That game owns.

It isn't: NBC owns Telemundo.

Vivendi owns everything. And hopefully Microsoft's gonna buy them :D

Microsoft now owns Comcast and Verizon. I just got a pamphlet in the mail that says Verizon DSL is Xbox Live compatible and a sweet deal to get cheaper DSL service.

They need to start giving deals like that with more games also. I think having the Bonus Discs for WW was a very smart idea.

the thread title and the news post probably. All it was is a coupon to get one free rental after your first rental...it was just a one page thing that had a coupon on it.

Whoever wants a close up i can scan it.

thebox comes out of nowhere with that kind of comment? Chill out man. Too bad I can't really do anything ... but let's not argue.
