Catch The Awesomeness Of TDTESS On BD, Today

Kym Weathersten — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:30:07 +0000

If ever there was an action/sci-fi film that was made for the increasingly popular BD format, the Fox blockbuster ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ must certainly be it. Granted, remakes of awesome 1950s flicks, starring Keanu Reeves may not float everyone’s boat, but there’s no denying the awesomeness of seeing the film’s CG special effects and explosive scenes in high definition.

Along with all the standard features that are packaged into Blu-Ray disks these days, the two-disk TDTESS pack, available to rent or buy today, includes a detailed commentary on re-imagining the 1950s anti-nuke classic, “Build Your Own Gort” BD-Java game, as well as an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the environmentally conscious film set (the film was the first step to towards the studio’s parent company News Corp.’s aim of being entirely green by next year).

Of course, for those not yet caught up in the BD revolution, don’t fret; TDTESS is also available on DVD.

Virgin Launches New Post and Pre-Paid Plans, Offers More Flexibility For Your Dollar

Kym Weathersten — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:30:21 +0000

Good news for you mobile owners, looking to save a few bucks on your monthly bill: Virgin Mobile has launched a new suite of post-paid caps, all about increasing value and flexibility. The suite, called Your Cap, will consist of five plans ranging from the basic $20, right up to the $95 option, with all caps to include international calls. But perhaps best of all, unlike other deals on the market, the plans also include up to 50MB of mobile data, free voicemail and unrestricted Virgin-to-Virgin calls and texts. And it’s not just existing Virgin customers who are set to benefit. New customers, with their own phone, look set to receive an additional 20% included value, when they sign up to a Your Cap plan.

Of course, if you’d rather steer clear of the post-paid route, Virgin Mobile also offers monthly pre-paid Your Cap plans. Ranging from $35 to $95, each of the four pre-paid packages offers the same value as their post-paid counterparts. Which means the choice, value and flexibility are entirely yours.
