Talked about earlier. Decided that the least amount of time from an announcement to release was 1 day but no occasion w/ out an announcement given.

At this point I'm thinking no pre-order and a 12/8 release, or a 12/8 pre-order and a 12/15 or 12/22 release. :o

If this truly has been delayed by bugs, and they did just greenlight the preorder today, who knows.

99.5% chance it doesn't happen

.5% it happens.....and that's probably being generous

So I read your guys' convo a bunch of pages back. I'm curious as to why everyone who expressed an opinion said that a star wars virgin definitely has to start with episode 4. I'm not convinced that he/she should start with episode 1 or 4; I think it can go either way - sequence of release or chronological order.

I find it hard to believe that no one has said this, but you have to watch it in order of release because of Empire Strikes Back. Anyone who is deprived of that moment has missed out on one of the greatist moments in cinema, and anyone who deprives a Star Wars virgin of that moment by suggesting watching them in cronological order should be beaten to death with a toy lightsaber.

Well, I guess opinions will vary, of course. But in my opinion, the Star Wars saga is less about the rebels vs. empire, Luke vs. Vader, Han and Leia, etc. It's really about the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker and how that character was resolved.

Staging the story in such a way that you see this evil incarnate-type person, and then showing you how he was once good and that he was never "all evil" or "all good", just makes for thrilling discovery. The tragedy scene in Episode III is the centerpiece of the entire saga, and it should be viewed as the climax.

But that's just my take. :p

I think that theatrical release is the best way to watch it. If Lucas wanted you to see Ep I - III first he would have released them in that order. Start with IV - VI. Then watch the next cruddy trilogy, IMO only thing good was EP III and Jengo Fett. I honestly think the Clone Wars cartoon is better then the EP I and Ep II.
 
I don't understand why people do preorders aynways, don't you have a better chance of getting it in hand sooner going to the store opening day?

I agree it could go either way, but that's not the way we had it back in my day LOL (insert old geezer voice).

Besides, if they had released Epsiode 1 first, I seriously doubt it would have had the same effect as 4 did on the populace. Let's face it, 1 is pretty long, drawn out, and kinda blah.

4, while not perfect, completely captured a great story in a single movie. Combine that with (at the time) eye-popping visuals that STILL look good today, and you have an all time classic.

I vote for theatrical release order. And am still shocked that BB has not seen ANY of them!?! :cool:

When 4 came out we had never seen anything like it before. I can remember just sitting there and my mouth open thinking how many times i was going to see it. I had read the book before the movie which made it even better.

All very possible, the announcement cant be any later then this week though. Any later and they miss out on a lot of holiday sales. I am hopeful for an announcement tomorrow. It jives w/ what we have found today, how VZW has operated in the past and makes logical business sense in reference to the shopping season. We will see if I am right.

Episodes 1-3 arent even that bad. The originals are amazing though.
 
Oh my 1100 pages and less than 50 posts from 55,000!!!! Seems like just yesterday we were all talking about surpassing that tiny Dinc thread,
 
Also, Verizon doesn't use testman to push big info to the website anymore, it's all backended and sent live. They learned their lesson a year or so ago, so can we please stop devoting entire pages to who sees what on testman?
 
anybody just see what p3 posted? wondering if it means something. he always leaves very minimal clues to anything.

haha im too slow!!
he saw us all doing binary and had to 1up us lol
 
Questions for all my fellow Nexians...has there been any mention of an extended battery for the GNex? And if so what is the size of the battery?

I am in outside sales and need one to get me through the day, regardless of how well the reg one does...

I remember reading that a bunch of recent pre-orders were delivered a day or two early than the in-store release.

(probably ninja'd)

Why, because I enjoy a well moderated zone that stays on the topic at hand so I don't have to wade through 20 pages of nerd boners just for one piece of info?

I'm on probation because I call people out, and I don't particularly care if I get slapped, banned or not-I can read the forum regardless. I just get tired of hearing nerdgasms when all I want to see is relevant information.

i asked yesterday, and i'll ask again. why are you even in this thread if you don't enjoy the "community" aspect of it? if all you want is information, set a news alert on google and be done with it. :confused:
 
Crayon said:
Dear God, can we not just get a thread that posts actual pertinent information instead of binary nerds orgasming over just how much they know?

Seriously, I don't come into this thread to hear chatter about who's nerdier than who.

If you want to know when you can get your Gnex and not rifle through banter, friendly convesations, and some genalized fun I suggest you F5 this site whenever you feel like it.

Verizon | Search Results
 
this thread is so fast with breaking info, chances are if you've found anything "New" it's been ninja'd. Did the phone get released already? I haven't been reading every single post.
