SFIV/SSFIV Laredo Player Ratings

Updated: 08/22/2010
Thanks to Joel Sauceda :-)
UPDATE 2: After looking though the ratings I noticed some people are listed twice. for example, yetiantics and Juan C. Garcia are the same person, so is Gustavo and Quack :s

I let Joel know and a corrected list will be done around Wednesday. so... THE RATINGS WILL CHANGE.
In the mean time, I ask everyone to look at the list and post any people that are listed twice.

Red box to start renting out games in the future?

I went to Walmart and decided to browse the redbox for movies when I hit the "rent movies " button, I was presented with a menu with options.  One such option was "games". After half a second it automatically chose movies category for me. :(
