That was not a fight in any way shape or form, that was a predetermined money grab.

It was choppy and pixelated about 30 percent of the time for me.

that seems to be the consensus. I didn’t get rounds 1-3 of the women’s fight from buffering. I wondered. When Amazon started Thursday night football it was a shit show. I watched a live event on Netflix before just fine but it didn’t have this kind of traffic. Hopefully it’s ok for the Xmas day nfl games.

We couldn’t even open the fight live on ours, would buffer and then say there was an error, luckily(or unluckily) depending on how you look at it, I was able to view it on a whatnot live auction stream I was watching where they had it playing for the viewers. I cancelled Netflix this morning.

I would let that error time out and then it went back to watchable for 15 minutes before it did again. Repeat, repeat, repeat.....

I was at a buddies place - we just ran the time back 10 or 15 minutes and all the buffering and other issues went away

I have an inflatable one (from SeaEagle) that works a charm...although I'm not certain about the ocean!!

The clowns delivered a clown show. Zero surprises.

Just happy I watched the “highlights” reel today vs wasting my night.

I had no issues apart from a couple of incidents where the picture froze but the sound continued. I exited the fight and went back in and it resumed properly. I had to do this twice.

Clearly a massive amounts of viewers were tuning in.

Mine worked terribly for the whole fight. My less then legit stream was actually better so I used that.

Anybody ever ask for a post-purchase price adjustment with Amazon? I personally spoke with Jeff Bezos and he said that despite people thinking he's an evil villian, he's actually a really nice guy and refunded me $14 for a purchase I made last week that's now on sale.

If you actually talk to them in the chat Amazon has always hooked it up. Once I thought I lost a switch game I ordered they sent me another one. Multiple things like that. Amazon has its faults but I have found them to be really customer friendly.

@flanders

Actually I ordered it for a friend. She is old school and remembers when hydtox was king and van tell the difference. Personally I'm satisfied with an oreo. However, you always have to please the lady.

Is this a CGC label error (should be purple) or can people now request blue labels for Restored books?

Well, yes, actually, and to feed the cat.

I'm glad you asked here instead of starting a new thread.

I also noticed that it has one of those stabilizers/supports on the left hand side. I wonder if that is an attempt to keep the well from bowing?

I'm looking at picking up a copy of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein with all the Wrightson prints. It looks like it could be a decent chunk and thats ok but I'm wondering what route to go. There isn't much out there it seems and likely I'll be relegated to the soft cover. I guess I'm not asking a particular question but more for advice. Maybe the pancake man could chime in?

@HeinzDad I think Amazon has a more current edition hardcover for under $200.

When did the Copper Age of comic books end? I'm thinking right before all the sugarcoated, sparkly, tinfoil gimmick covers started popping up everywhere.

If Superman flew so fast as to reverse the spin of the earth...would time actually go backward like in Superman the movie?? or would just unspeakably horrible, horrible things happen? i.e. oceans boil, mountains crumble, cats love dogs etc. etc.
