  4. Thanks marcello!
  5. Thanks Lon! That's an enticing offering.
  6. Funny you should say that, Pete. My Sony was ca. $35. The Amazon reviews indicated that it had a high failure rate at the six-month point, so for $10 I bought a Square Trade three-year warranty. I'm happy.
  7. OK, Pete. There is a website called regionfreedvd.net that sells what we are talking about. They sell a number of brands including Sony.
  8. Was there a previous thread about this title? Yes! Thanks for reminding me. Here it is:
  9. I bought a Sony during the summer. Can I do this with that too, or is it only good for a Philips?

  17. Here are the teams and the kickoff times of the playoff games through the Grey Cup. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/cfl-playoff-schedule/article2227356/ ***** Here are the 2011 final standings published on at least two web sites, so presumably as distributed by the league. You will notice that Edmonton is listed as in third place, when in fact they finished second. http://stats.sports.theglobeandmail.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=globeandmail&page=cfl/stand/standingAJ.htm ***** Here are the 2011 final stats. http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/stat/CFL_Leaders.aspx
  18. I thought the Packers have the best record. Still, it was a surprise to me when I noticed a week ago how well the Niners are doing.

  20. Happy Birthday Neal!

  23. British Columbia Lions 43....Montreal Alouettes 1 http://64.246.64.33/...aspx?id=4448397 Both teams were playing for first place in their divisions. The Als started the scoring with a single, and never scored again. Paul McCallum kicked four field goals. The announcers were talking about him setting records this year, but the only one that I know about is the consecutive field goal record with 30. I think he only missed three field goals all year, finishing with something like a 94% success rate. The three Western playoff teams finished at 11-7. This is the first time ever that three teams have tied for having the best won-lost record in the league. PS - The Lions started the season 0-5, and went the rest of the way 11-2.
  24. Thanks again, guys. To show you how valuable camelcamelcamel.com is, I got the eight items listed above (all of which I wanted) - four CDs, two DVD sets, and two books (one hardback) - for $46.21 including shipping. That's an average of $5.78 per item.
