Finally, the pick of the week. While I’m sure “Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs” is the most anticipated title of the week, my pick of the week will always be of a title I’ve seen. This week, that means the “Early Edition” set.
My Pick
If I had a Blu-Ray player, I’d definitely want to get the Longest Day/Patton/Sand Pebbles bundle. Alas, I don’t have a Blu-Ray player (yet) but when I do get a Blu-Ray player, this will be one of my first purchases.
