  • Creasy47 wrote: I already had about six or seven of the blu-rays, so getting them separately was the only way to go. Most of them were only $10 a piece, so I did fine. Fair enough. We don't benefit from such cheap prices for new discs this …
  • Creasy47 wrote: I'm fairly certain that they released the box set and announced that the separate blu-ray releases would be sprinkled out throughout the coming months. I had an old DVD set, so I didn't find the need to rush into purchasing the box…
  • Creasy47 wrote: @TheWizardOfIce, that's not the only way, as I purchased the films separately and ignored the box set. That was not an option this time last year. They were only released individually later and having already waited for year…

  • RC7 wrote: I can understand the younger generation having not played it. It's the idea of owning an N64 and not. Come to think of it, I don't know of any 64 owner who hasn't, Bond fan or not. Exactly apart from Mario 64 there was only one o…
  • Yep - all my posts over the last 12 hours not even edited to remove the odd reference to a blow job but just deleted en masse. It seems it is only 'The Word' that is allowed to be shoved down people throats on here.

  • chrisisall wrote: Religion & Bond? Fantasy & fantasy. I'm not having that. That's blasphemy. Compared to religion Bond is 99.999999999% realistic (even including the invisible car). I'm offended. 00Beast wrote: I think you're …
  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: Oh, for crying out loud, it's just the main menus. It isn't like EON had their effects team go into all the early Connery films and give Bond a damn unibrow or something. The fuss over this little issue is coming to e…
