all the items now are stickered with the yellow stickers, its just one price point, not was and now stickers, the sale stuff would be in promo areas of each store, i know in our store about 30% of the world section went into the sale, it all depends what stock the store had at the time and whats to be got rid of

RE: MVC Clearance Sale

Not much chance of new stock coming in, this sale was by the new owners to clear the shelves of slow selling stuff and old titles, so they can bring in better selling stuff

RE: Battlestar Galactica Season 2..

sky did fund this season as well, the new deal is that because of the fuss of the usa peeps downloading uk broadcasts and complaining its not on us tv first, the first half of the season will premiere in the us and then while they on their mid season break, sky would of caught up and premiere the second half in the uk, so both sides get premieres

RE: STAR WARS: EPISODE 3 Anticipation Thread (SPOILERS!!!)

some new info from http://www.darkhorizons.com/

link : http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050425c.php

The fan-anticipated "Star Wars Celebration III" convention in Indianapolis drew big crowds and a few big scoops in regards to the fate of the popular Lucas sci-fi franchsie. After several minutes of footage from "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith", Producer Rick McCallum conducted a Q&A and confirmed a few details.

"Revenge of the Sith" final running time of is 131 minutes (though official reports last week listed it at 141 minutes), the film itself had the last touches added to it on Tuesday. Whilst they plan to do Star Wars in 3-D, they have no real timetable due to the lack of technology available.

Lucas got a script for Indiana Jones 4 last week and Spielberg plans to make it the film he does after his next one (likely the Munich Olympics terrorist flick). By that timetable it would put in on track for a Summer 2007 release.

Meanwhile, Lucas himself appeared and talked about the TV plans for the future. There are two TV series in development - a half hour 3-D computer animated series, and a live action series starring some supporting characters featured in the movies.

Production on the live action show would begin in about a year and unlike other shows, all the scripts for every episode will be done first and then shooting will happen in one big block. Lucas himself would handle at least the pilot. Judging by this timetable it would probably start airing sometime 2007.

RE: STAR WARS: EPISODE 3 Anticipation Thread (SPOILERS!!!)

Some info about the ending of the ROTS taken from darkhorizons.com

In the latest official site update, Anthony Daniels revealed a worthy point of trivia: It seems the character with the very the last line of dialogue in "Episode III" is the very same character that has the first line of dialogue in "Episode IV: A New Hope" - ie. C-3PO. In the same set - how`s that for bridging the saga? Also, with the scoring session now well underway, an item was marked as Darth Sidious`s only moment of compassion ever recorded.

Also with each Star Wars film, composer John Williams has selected a particular composition to stand apart. It`s removed from the context of the film, and generally has its start or end reworked so that it becomes a standalone musical piece. In the past, these have become singles on the soundtrack, concert suites or music videos. Examples include "Main Title," "Darth Vader`s Theme (Imperial March)," "The Forest Battle," "Duel of the Fates," and "Across the Stars."

For Episode III, a dramatic cue from the sixth reel gets that treatment. Called "Revenge of the Sith" -- or less colorfully, 6M9 -- it appears in the film during the thick of the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker. The first half of the second day of scoring sessions consists of capturing this piece for both inclusion in the film, and as a modified version for the soundtrack release. In the end, it will include moments of heavy percussion, as well as the emotional sweep provided by a choir.

CPW Datalead Hassle

Hi, got a nokia 7600 from CPW when they first did the promotion £44.99, had to wait but got it in the end, opened up the box and no datalead, rang up and told "im sorry we will send one out, should be with you in 2-3 days", 5 days later i ring again "im sorry we will send one out, should be with you in 2-3 days", she has no idea why the first one has not come, 5 days later no lead so ring again "umm i have no record of you asking for a lead, will do it now and as its nokia`s fault so it will be 28 days" at this point i ask her why no records of me asking for one are on the system or why now its 28 days when twice in two weeks i was told 2-3 days.

Now i ring again after 5 weeks to be told they dont know why i have not had it and will request another should be here in 28 days. As you can guess that did not sit well with me, so i point out the numerous times i`ve called and the differing responses and that i have had an incomplete product.

I ask if i can go to one of the CPW shops and get it from them, which im told they cant do, nothing to do with them, i tell her im not impressed and may wish to cancel the phone and return it, which in return im told it is outside the 14 day return policy and therefore unlikely they will take it back, i even said this the first time i called, "shall i return the phone" and was told not to as the lead would be with me shortly.

After this long rant what are my options? Is there anyone i can complain to either within CPW who would listen or some external body?
