I purchased this disc yesterday and I'm currently viewing it. First of all, it's one of my favorite films. It's one of three films that came out in 1995 that together have had a significant influence on the way I see film and the way I create: Twelve Monkeys, Se7en, and The Usual Suspects...

I have the 360 HD-DVD add on connected via VGA to my Westinghouse W4207 42" LCD and I've got to say I'm very impressed with the quality of both the player and the display for the money. I wanted a relatively inexpensive, lightweight upgrade to my previous HT configuration (ISF cal panny 53WX42...

One of my local BBs had a few of these left by 7AM, most of the BF madness was focused on the Panasonic 42" plasma, the Toshiba 50" plasma, and the Westinghouse 32" LCD. The Westy 42" LCD (W4207) went somewhat unnoticed. I took a gamble and bought one at the sale price and I am tremendously...

1080P = Not an ATSC standard 720p/1080i = ATSC standard of high definition Sony president = lying for the purpose of undermining standards because their product does not adhere. Typical Sony attempt to make the world proprietary, just like their failed betamax, minidisc, ATRAC, spyware...

Sony attempting to corrupt the HD standard for the sake of marketing. BOYCOTT ALL SONY PRODUCTS http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/9931/X...ios-President/

I'm becoming fairly confident the heating problems are due to poor ventilation. The 360 moves a -lot- of air and in even a typical entertainment center will probably be recycling hot air being blown out the back in pretty short order. Orientation also seems to matter - my 360 is horizontal and...

Having spent some significant time in PGR3 both single player and online, I'm about 80% satisfied with it. The graphics and sound are phenomenal. The integration of iPod support at the OS level is slick, I can simply override the PGR soundtrack with my own without having to even bother digging...

I assume that DVD content isn't being scaled and is displayed in 480i/p since the MPAA seems to hate seeing upscaled content being output over component video.. I'm still wondering.. if games are being automaticaly displayed in whatever resolution you've selected (1080i in my case) then why...

James - A lot of your questions about resolution can be answered by doing searches in the Display forum.. to sum it up - "HD ready" means the device is capable of displaying HD resolutions (720p and 1080i) but requires an external device to supply the signal - IE it has no integrated HD tuner. A...

I've had a set of HTD Level 3 mains, center, and surrounds for over 3 years now. They have been excellent speakers for the price. The subwoofer, however, is not what I would consider up to scratch. I had one fail and then replaced the second one with an SVS. My center channel recently took a...

Hey, I'm a little confused. My 360 will be arriving tomorrow, and in anticipation I picked up Gotham 3 and Tiger Woods 2k6. I noticed on the Tiger packaging it lists both 1080i and 720p as supported resolutions. On the Gotham 3 packaging it only lists 720p. My TV doesn't do 720p, all it can...

Let me guess... Blose?

One can always hope. Nobody ever made a respectable toy representation of the Death Star or a Star Destroyer, either. :frowning:

I just read all 28 pages of this thread and was surprised to see no rumors or questions about a Barad Dur environment. If SSW did one of those, complete with burning eye of Sauron I'd weep with joy. No news of any such creation?

Holy crap. I just checked ebay and one finished this evening at $802.55 - I don't even know what to say about that. Mine's been sitting in a secluded part of my office since I got it, more of a conversation piece than anything else (most people I work with don't have dark sinister towers on...
