19th November 2007 ZETA MINOR NEWS Our Incoming database passed a significant milestone this week: it now features more than five thousand DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray titles! Don't forget that, in addition to the list of forthcoming titles, you can also search the database for titles that have are already available. OK, so it's not the most comprehensive price-comparison resource out there, but it is skewed to the sort of titles that visitors to this site are likely to be interested in, and using our affiliate links helps keep Zeta Minor afloat! Here are a couple of useful Incoming bookmarks... My thanks, as always, to the team of people who help keep the database up to date and running smoothly: Barry Delve, Mike Hadfield, Ceri Laing, Ian Palmer, and the apparently indefatigable Ben Mott!
