http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/05/news...oads/index.htm I'm definitely for this, as long as the option to rent videogames is included with the $20 monthly fee and not an additional cost.

If the $499 price of the Roku was keeping anyone from buying one, this press release from today might be of interest to you..... Roku Lowers Price and Broadens Retail Distribution for Leading Digital Media Player; Introduces New Gallery Collection Package for High-Tech Art Enthusiasts...

I purchased a Roku HD1000 a month ago. I'm VERY happy with the purchase and would do it all over again. I will say the Roku isn't for everyone. $500 is too much to pay if all you're going to do is use it to display digital photos from one of it's built-in digital media slots (Compact Flash...

Picked up Finding Nemo and Coldplay Live 2003 at Best Buy today. I did find it odd that the Coldplay Live 2003 DVD/CD set was available in either a DVD case or cd jewel case. The cd jewel case version was $5.00 more. I don't get it?? Unless the one in the cd jewel case was a "special edition"...

November is shaping up to be quite a month for concert DVD's! My two favorite bands are both coming out with new releases. U2 Live at Slane Castle will be out Nov 17th. And Coldplay also has a live dvd coming out on November 4th. I'm pasting below details directly from the Coldplay website. I...

If you're looking to stock up on blank DVD-R's, get over to your local CompUSA store. They have a great deal on their CompUSA-branded blank DVD-R's, as advertised in their Sunday paper insert. 10-packs for $7.99 with instant rebate. And no limit. I picked up 5 10-packs this morning. The discs...

Just as a followup, I found RealVideo of a new story one of our local tv stations ran this morning regarding Motorola's announcement of the carbon nanotechnology. It includes Motorola demonstrating a small prototype screen. Go to http://www.azcentral.com/12news/ and click on the link to the...

This was the lead story in the business section of today's Arizona Republic... http://www.azcentral.com/business/ar...anotech02.html related link: http://www.motorola.com/mediacenter/...436_23,00.html

Last week I recommended a co-worker rent the 25th Hour dvd, the latest Spike Lee film. Netflix didn't have any copies available, so he stopped at Hollywood Video to pick up a copy and couldn't find it anywhere in the latest releases section. He asked the guy at the counter why they didn't have...

My advice is to bite the bullet and download the 18MB EasyCD Creator upgrade. I bought a new Sony CD-RW drive for my parents for Xmas. EasyCD wouldn't recognize it either until I upgraded. You could always send Roxio tech support an email asking them if your particular drive is supported with...

Allen, The Zen menus make it pretty easy to navigate your music collection. Like the iPod, you can browse by Artist, Album, Genre, Track and Playlist. If you're browsing by Artist and open up a particular artist, all their albums will appear. You can add all tracks by the artist to your current...

My two cents on the Zen.. I've owned a Zen for two weeks now and absolutely give it a thumbs up! I had been eyeing the 20GB iPod but couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money for an MP3 player. But then I came across the Zen at Fry's Electronics two weekends ago for $349, but a mail-in...

The dvd player is still available. I'll consider offers at this point, otherwise it goes on ebay in a couple days.

Price reduced to $120, shipping included.

I have a Toshiba SD5109 dual-tray Progressive Scan DVD player for sale. I've had it for about a year and a half. Still in mint condition. Includes remote and original manual. I'm asking $135 (shipping included). Payable by money order, cashier's check or Paypal. Some of this DVD player's...

I'm a HUGE U2 fan, so the two-DVD set U2: Elevation Tour 2001 Live from Boston is at the top of my favorite concert DVD list. Excellent video and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound with a bonus multi-angle version of the concert on the 2nd disc. There's another U2 concert DVD of one of their 2001 Slane...

I was hoping Dr. Melfi would finally confess to Tony about her rape and ask him to "take care" of the rapist. Now that's one guy from Season 3 who really deserves to get whacked.

I'm too puzzled why Cox can offer converter rentals in Las Vegas but require us here in Phoenix to dish out $500 for converters that are already obsolete. Doesn't make sense... If you're an HDTV enthusiast in Phoenix or anywhere else in AZ, there's an HDTV Society of Arizona Yahoo! group. I...

An update regarding the Cox HDTV rollout in the Phoenix area... It goes live on 8/30, but sadly only three channels; ABC, HBO and Showtime. What I don't like is you're required to purchase the STB from Cox for $500. You can't rent it month to month like they're doing in other markets. I'm going...

Does anyone know how many HD channels can be carried via cable? My understanding is HD programming uses A LOT more bandwidth than current analog and digital cable channels, so there must be a practical limit to the number of HD channels they can offer without dropping existing channels. I'm...

http://www.arizonarepublic.com/busin...0801cox01.html Looks like I'll FINALLY be able to enjoy HD programming on the Toshiba 65" digital-ready widescreen tv I've owned for the past couple years. Cox is rolling out it's HD service in Phoenix sometime in August/September. The converter box will...

My 2 cents on Netflix... While I have seen an improvement in turnaround times with the new distribution centers, availability is still a big problem with recent releases. It's been especially bad the past several weeks. Up until recently, I was usually able to get at least one recent release...

With Netflix doing so well, it was only a matter of time before Blockbuster started doing something similar. Blockbuster is currently testing subscription plans similar to Netflix in a few markets. In NYC, they're testing the DVD Freedom Pass which lets you pay $19.99 a month for unlimited dvd...

Next week is definitely a big U2 week for me! First off, I'm going to U2 concert in Vegas on Sunday. I have my GA ticket and definitely plan to make it into the heart. The Elevation Tour DVD comes out Tuesday at Best Buy. I was at both of the 1st two Boston shows in June filmed for the DVD...

When I checked my queue on Netflix last night I noticed that every single one of the "mature" titles in my queue had been moved to the Unreleased queue with release date "unknown". This includes all Playboy and Penthouse dvd titles, soft porn, even the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue dvd! So...
