    ROFL... you do have a problem but it goes further than NOT having some cases... hehehe. :p

    It's amazing what you people find. I've been on ZERO hunts in a some time now. Just don't have the equipment to do it. NOT really I just have other things weighing me down, like my wifes car acting up, job hunting, thinking of food, and chores around the house. :p

    ...gm

    edit: weighing NOT waiting. lol.

    Yeah Buddy !!!!- Must be a Dumpster Drought Going around ? But hopefully it Won't last Too Long ? Has Anyone noticed That they ( BB) Don't seem to Be chucking as many Double cases as they used to ? Either they are'nt Getting as many Dual disc movies /Tv series Ect ... or if they are they're Not getting off the cases like they did before ? Maybe it's juxt the Conondrum of the Quest ? { When you don't want or need something it's Ubiquitous !!!= (Everywhere ) But if you want or need it then you can't find it anywhere? Go figure ! } The reason I brought that up is I'm doing some Tv Show episodes and they can eat up singles quick ! Besides A Few Doubles take up less Space Than Multiple singles !! , Maybe I'll just Do a Binder/Wallet of Tv series ect... ? Anyway Atleast it looks like we're all in the same Boat ? {Or perhaps in Our case Dumpster Dive -wise Right now ? Good luck and Beware The Green Fog of Saugmon !!!!!!

    BB is just not putting the second disc in. A single case is cheaper. Be on the look out for the second disc. Quantum of Solace for rentals has the out side cover as a 2 disc set but 1 disc and the two disc(same cover) real set for sale too. So they are chucking the extra disc. Those locking cases are eating up the profits. At first, when I was renting VHS tapes(not BB), they had the empty boxes; and would put the tape in as you checked out.

    garmoon- Actually I think For some reason that the 2-Disc/dvd versions of some titles must be cheaper for them to purchase ? Even though I assume that they are getting them @ wholesale Prices with a Big Volume discount ! Though I understand what your saying !! Ironic Though I've found Two Quadruple Cases sort of recently !! which is a anomaly to be sure ! I've found doubles & various Colored Cases before Clear/translucent, red, orange, blue , silver, bronze/copper? and the ever popular {BOOGER Green - Ps-2/Game cases) BUt mainly the Plain Old Black Keep cases or Black Locking Cases!!! I even Found some Ps-3 cases recently I put season one of Ghost Whisperer in those ! Jennifer Love Hewitt Can Whisper in my dumpster anytime !!! Maybe we could make a Sequel To her Movie Confessions of A Sociopahtic Social Climber while she's there ? We could Call it Confession of a Anti-Social Dumpster sQuatch- Night of the GasFace !!!! lol!!!. It's a thought anyhow !!!! Oh' well That's about it for now !!! Ciao ! buddy!!!

    See, the pagan entity which grants fortune in the dumpster has decided to smite your chances for a good haul. If you had shared your wealth of knowledge with the rest of us humble students of the dumpsterquest league, master Big would have been awash with glorious trinkets from the trash, but oh no, the entity has decided to shower you with nothing.
    Me thinks the great one has cast a hex upon you. Me thinks bribery is in order to restore favor among the inner circle.

    DDP- well it started going ape-doody on me a couple of days ago and then I developed connectivity problems ! I solved the connection problems I had to Reboot the Router /wifi/Vonage adapter & the modem ! But the main desktop problem still remains Sometimes you open a window or application and 60 or 87 of that window open up ? - and or if I pass the most over a Icon it will open the application even if I did'nt click on it . I did system restore and that did'nt really help tried doing a fresh install of windows and that did'nt clear things up toomuch either ? I'm Going to contact dell soon as I get a chance I have the extended warranty I just need to know whether I send it back to them or take it to alocal shop and tell them bill it to dell or square trade or whoever is fulfilling their warranty action? I hope I can get it done locally ? I'm not really keen on Shipping my computer to East Where-ever USA if I can void it ? - I still have my laptop and my old Emachines so I won'nt be completely without computer but The DEll Is what I've been working with and is the fastest and most current one I have ! BUt having a slow car beats walking I suppose ? well that's about it My friend ! I'll let ya' know how it sorts out finaly cheers and thanks DDP
