Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Extended Version

[edit]

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was released in 1991 with a runtime of 143 or 144 minutes. However, there is an extended version with a runtime of 155 minutes. So, two questions, neither of which is answered by the Wikipedia article nor by the IMDB page (at least, not that I can see): (1) What year was this extended version first released? (2) In what format was this extended version first released — theatrical re-release, VHS, DVD, or something else? —Lowellian (reply) 06:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was released on DVD in 2003. Scroll down until you reach the 'Product Details' - Hope this helps! ScarianCall me Pat 08:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rescue Me Season 3

[edit]

When is Rescue Me Season 3 released on dvd for UK release / region 2 ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.109.57.75 (talk) 15:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After having a quick look on google under multiple searches it doesn't look like it will be coming out in Region 2 for a while, if at all. But I only had a relatively quick look. ScarianCall me Pat 15:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Final Fantasy XI

[edit]

Hello, I've got two questions regarding FFXI:

1) How much is the monthly fee?

and

2) Is it compatible with the PS3? The same question for all the expansions.

Thank you! DoomsDay349 22:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monthly purchase fee's and it doesn't look as if it is available for the PS3. I would assume that the expansion packs would be just one off payments (if that at all). ScarianCall me Pat 22:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't clear; I didn't mean do they make one for the PS3, but will the PS2 work with the PS3 (Backwards compatible?) I know there's a few games that don't work right, and some of them fairly big titles from back in the PS2 era, so I wanted to check. Thanks! DoomsDay349 23:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh, sorry... I didn't read it so well. My apologies. That would be a question maybe you could write to them about? Or go to a games store and ask an assistant? That's a bit more of a push and I'd be out of my depth. Sorry I can't be of any more assistance, friend. ScarianCall me Pat 01:06, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Click here for the PS3 compatibility guide. At a glance it looks like it will run on all three models of PS3 provided that you machine's firmware is fully updated. APL (talk) 23:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the title of this New Wave/Synthpop song that has TaTa lyrics?

[edit]

On 1/24/08, I heard a New Wave/Synthpop song that has the lyrics "Ta Ta" or "TaTa". It on 9.3.1 Jack FM Los Angeles. I like that kind of music. I don't want to wait to figure the title. Please figure the title of the the song. Jet (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could possibly be "Da Da Da" by Trio. --Richardrj talk email 06:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Or The Cars' "Ta Ta Wayo Wayo" from their 1987 album Door to Door. ---Sluzzelin talk 04:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
