Oh, and I'm starting to get some new Blu-rays on my mailings while my Very Long Waits have gone down to Short Wait and Available status.

That's because I just reduced my subscription and took all of the BD's out of my queue, and subsequently spent about $400 on BD's that I have not been able to see as a subscriber. More better for you that way, I guess. I will enjoy my clean disks, for sure.

LOL I would believe this if we were in the same city, with the same regional dist center delivering movies for us, but we're so far apart. I'm in South Central TX, in San Antonio, so that won't work here.

But hey, enjoying Ice Fishing?

I've noticed that netflix is skimping on certain titles even being offered in BluRay format, only offering rush hour 3 in dvd?

When I searched for RH3, it says Available Formats: DVD and Blu-ray

Cool, I think this is the same for other movies that originally didn't show up on Blu in December.
