It still goes for $300 on HP's store and around $200 on many sites, so getting it for $140 on Amazon was a good price. Add on top of that HP will take my old printer and pay $50 for the pleasure! I just hope that it's as good as the reviews report. I'm looking forward to playing with it. My wife will like the ability to do some digital scrapbook layouts (12x12) and it will be good to do some large layout examples for presentations to clients as well.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2009 10:55 AM                        I might have to look into one of those too, given that price. I've got a 1220c that I use to make signs and stuff for the theatre, but the 11x17 paper is a limitation...would love to go to 13x19. That's something else for the "drives me insane" thread -- people who make "posters" on typing paper and think they look cool. (And they overuse the "WordArt" feature!)  |  IP: Logged Dwayne Benallie Film Handler Posts: 19 From: tempe, Arizona / USA Registered: Aug 2007 posted 11-10-2009 05:20 PM                        I bought Modern Warfare 2 for the PS3 which came with night vision goggles and other small goodies.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2009 06:16 PM                        Everybody in Disney cover art MUST always be happy/smiling, no matter that they are dangling for dear life and planes are about to shoot them down! I think I have one of the few Toy Story 1 posters where Woody is not smiling, but actually frowning.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2009 06:48 PM                        I wish Chuck Jones, Bob McKimson, Tex Avery or Friz Freleng would come back to life and make a real good cartoon again.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2009 07:07 PM                        Yeah, I miss 2D. Disney is finally doing another real cartoon, but it is just another fairy tale adaptation.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2009 09:15 PM                     Oh? You mean like Snow White? Or you mean Pinnochio? No, no! I know what it was! Cinderella! Right? Oh, shit.... That's not right... It must have been Alice in Wonderland. No! It was Peter Pan! No, that's not right, either! Was it Sleeping Beauty? Sword in the Stone? Nah, can't be. It has to be Robin Hood. Beauty and the Beast? Aladdin? Pocahontis? Hercules? Tarzan? Chicken Little? Oh, dammitt! When did Disney ever NOT do a fairy tale? Isn't that what they do?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-10-2009 09:24 PM                        No, it's ALL they do.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-10-2009 09:34 PM                     Asking Disney to make an animated feature that's not a fairy tale is like asking the sun not to shine.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-10-2009 09:48 PM                     Some Blu-ray discs I ordered arrived in the mail early today: After all the discounts and such, all three BD titles totaled just under $50. A little over $16 each. I also recently bought this little gizmo for $136.: The TC-80N3 is Canon's better quality remote shutter release.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 11-11-2009 12:55 PM                        My "Monsters, Inc" Blu-ray shipped yesterday. I won't be getting "Up". Next week: "STAR TREK" and "GALAXY QUEST"! I could spend the whole following weekend watching those over and over. I just recently noticed that I already have over 100 Blu-ray titles.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-11-2009 03:35 PM                        UP had really good picture quality, much better than the theater could have possibly provided (my screen is brighter than 5 footlamberts). Did not miss the 3D at all. I have 49 Blu-ray movies now if I count the Star Trek 3-pack as 3 movies (which I do).  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 11-11-2009 04:08 PM                  quote: Sam Graham I won't be getting "Up". Sounds like a personal problem! I don't buy animated films anymore. Daughter is grown and no grandkids yet.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-11-2009 05:45 PM                        Yes, because animated films are ONLY for children... just like videogames.  |  IP: Logged
