I pretty much only bought Snow White because it's such an old movie and the behind the scenes extras were really fascinating. Beauty and the Beast doesn't have any of those things and I've never been too big a fan.

Also Aliens might end up being one of the graniest Blu Rays ever if Fox leaves it alone.

I have Atlantic shelves from Best Buy and they're actually pretty decent. Easy to assemble, no sagging or buckling, and they keep everything nice and orderly-looking as you can see above. For the price I haven't been able to find anything better for a high-volume collection.

I was joking that he stole an entire shelf from the Blu-Ray section at BB

Bad news is that a release could come out in 2015 for all we know, and it'll have the usual horseshit HBO Premium.

It did, in 2004. Team Fortress 2 came in 2007. Both came to Mac only this year though, but I don't think that's really the issue here.

Both along with Duke Nukem Forever were infamous for many years for being eternally in "It'll be out when it's out" limbo. HL2's source code was even leaked in 2003, causing another delay.

They eventually did come out, like BB2 and LoA will.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty ignorant of the history of TF2. I know, vaguely, that it was supposed to come out a hell of a lot sooner than it did, but it's in bold red letters on The List so I'm guessing there's something about it that was sort of :aaa: for people at the time?

It was originally supposed to have TF1/CS type "realistic" (for 2002 or so) graphics. It disappeared, got revamped, and FINALLY came out in 2007.

B&TB coming out made me remember a Disney movie I really want on Blu-Ray since it was my favorite movie from when I was 3-6 or so: Mary Poppins. It isn't an animated movie either, so it theoretically wouldn't be tied to their cocksucking schedule!

It kinda looks like it's made out of Gummi. I think it's time for Trolli to start product developoment on Gummi Facehuggers.

Looks like plastic, which I suppose make sense from a durability standpoint, but I really wish it were resin or mixed media.

For people who don't know, Sideshow Collectibles doesn't gently caress around. That case is going to be very durable and expensive. Im not a huge Alien fan (movies are great but i'm a Predator guy), so the slick boxset is nice. :)

I'd agree but it looks like it's made out of lovely plastic rather than one of their high quality resin/mixed media statues. The arm and those tentacle things on its back in particular look like they came from some $20 cheapo Walmart toy.
