    Is anyone else having (or had) this problem with Madden NLF 2K2 on GC???

    Whenever my QB drops back to pass, all it does is pump fake and won't pass the damned ball. I am not hitting the C-stick or any other buttons, all I do is hit A to snap the ball, pull back on the control stick to drop back and when I hit any of the buttons that SHOULD pass the ball to that...

    Anyone know where to get price online for 42H81 or 42HX81??

    And please, only reputable online retailers please. DO NOT recommend me to Crazy Eddies, I will never deal them ever again. Thanks in advance for any helpful information and tips. Jeremy M

    I just can't win!! (Finally got my TV today... but will be sent back in a week or so)

    Glenn- Thanks for all the advice... I'm think I am going to use some. I am going to call back the claim adjuster tomorrow (who called this weekend, but I wasn't home at the time) and tell them the info and give them a time I will be home so they can come and inspect the damage themselves...

    I just can't win!! (Finally got my TV today... but will be sent back in a week or so)

    Good luck on getting an extension, Glenn! We all sure need some of that nowadays. When I finally get this mess cleared up, I am gonna start saving towards an expensive OTA antenna, amp/preamp, and installation. I won't have any local HD stations (anywhere within 60-80 miles) until the first...

    I just can't win!! (Finally got my TV today... but will be sent back in a week or so)

    Glenn, can you believe this?! Unbelievable! I feel like one of those people, we all know, that just can not get anything to go right for them, over this last week and a half. I finally get my TV, VERY late, and then its damaged. But while its damaged and I will send it back for a...

    I just can't win!! (Finally got my TV today... but will be sent back in a week or so)

    Delivery company finally delivered my TV to me today, about 12:30 CST or so. The lady who delivered it told me immediately that she wanted me to see it before she unloaded it and first off (said it wasn't her doing), the box looked like it had been through the war. There's rips, cuts, and...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    (After looking at the TV listed and specs again on Capital Audio...) I hope I do get the wrong TV! I just now noticed that the TV listed on Capital Audio's site (that's like mine, but isn't mine), is the same exact type of TV, only its 30" and WS! I wanted WS all along, but couldn't afford...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. The shipping saga itself will finally end tomorrow afternoon (I hope!) as the shipping co. called this afteroon to get a delivery time for the TV to my house tomorrow. Since he apologetically told me it couldn't be delivered today, I will get it sometime...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    Well, I think we will all be a little bit happier in a day or two... I called PilotAir's Chicago drop-off station this morning (around 11:30, 8/20) and they told me that they did have it and it would be on its way to Moline, IL, (which is 45-60 minutes from here), and I would get a call about...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    Yes, Lawrence, I did pass on the service contract. It probably is the best idea, and in you "own best interests", to buy a service contract along with a big purchase like a TV, but I didn't have the money to buy a service contract, so I passed. I only plan to "use" this TV for my HD and main...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    You were right, Glenn. I am apprehensive of it being picked up from Capital Audio because I checked their website and they don't even list the TV I ordered! They have a 30" (or 32", can't remember) Samsung Tantus DynaFlat, same make and model as my 27" TV, but they list the one on the website...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    Yet another update in my saga (I feel like I'm writing a novel here): I called the shipping company again this morning. I totally expected the same response I had been getting, still no information. Wasn't I pleasantly surprised when the guy gave me some shipping info on my TV. But as...

    Where to buy a widescreen television

    Chris- Another place to avoid at all costs is Crazy Eddie! I am going through hell right now trying to find out where my 27" Samsung Tantus HD-monitor is! The shipping company they go through has no f***ing idea if they have my TV and are shipping it or if Crazy Eddie still hasn't shipped it...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    As of 2pm today, Crazy Eddie has forever lost the chance at a repeat customer from me. I just received an e-mail response from the shipping company that is handling the shipping of purchased TV from Crazy Eddie and the e-mail told me that as of 2 EST, it hadn't been picked up from Crazy Eddie...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    Thanks Michael. I know it sounds like I am crying about all of it, but why shouldn't I expect a timely arrival of something that I originally requested (and paid dearly for) a Next (business) Day Air service and then I get told it will be 3 days instead of 1 or 2? 3 days is long enough, but...

    Update on dealings with Crazy Eddie... shipping problems now (long)

    After getting through the credit card problems of a couple of days ago... I called them up in the late afternoon yesterday to try and obtain a tracking number for my TV that they were *supposed* to have shipped Tuesday afternoon/night or yesterday morning/afternoon/night, I got 'Howard' on the...

    Reviews and comments of purchases & subsequent cust. service with Crazy Eddie? (long)

    Thanks Joseph and Eric. I figured that's probably all it was and why Steve wanted the CID, but it definately made me curious. I guess my apprehension started about the order really going to go through when Steve called me the first time yesterday morning. He asked for my dad as I used his...

    Reviews and comments of purchases & subsequent cust. service with Crazy Eddie? (long)

    Hi all- I am asking for reviews and comments of Crazy Eddie because I am slightly concerned about a phone call I received from them this morning and when I made a return phone call later this afternoon. Situation: Steve from Crazy Eddie called me to let me know that even though I chose the...

    Your impressions, thoughts, and comments about the Cubs/Rockies game in HDTV tonight

    I don't expect 'in-game updates' or anything like that as I will probably be too busy watching the 'boring' old DirecTV digital non-ATSC telecast on WGN (stuck at home w/o access to the HDTV telecast, won't have HDTV and STB for another couple of months ). Call me sadistic, but I want to...

    WGN to do first live Cubs game in HD!

    Frank, You lucky b*****d! :) Too bad they won't be expanding it to the DirecTV broadcast of the game, as well. *is drooling* just thinking about what it would be like to see a *possible* Slammin' Sammy Sosa HR blast out on to Waveland (and Cubs win) in HD and all its, crystal clear...

    Anyone seen the Sharp 55R-WP4H & its picture quality while showing the ol GIGO NTSC?

    I ask because the set can supposedly turn good old NTSC into 540p and 1080i quality images so we "can enjoy our favorite TV shows". I am not doubting it can (without seeing it first-hand), but that's a pretty hefty claim. But then again, isn't that what the new Toshiba **H81/**HX81's are...

    Important question... buy Toshiba HDTV now or wait a week or even a couple of months?

    Roy, Thanks and I did come across that earlier today on BB's site. But small problem... the danged website won't let me go through the checkout process! It lets me start the process with other Toshiba's (as well as other brands of HDTVs), but I get an error message about the request not going...

    Can't read replies to some messages...!?

    Parker, Thanks for the info and I have done just that. I find I have to hit my refresh button after clicking on the original message headers though or the replies won't show up. Have to refresh to see my own replies become available for me to view as well. No biggie, I guess, as long as I...

    Important question... buy Toshiba HDTV now or wait a week or even a couple of months?

    Thanks for all the helpful and informative posts, guys. Much appreciated. But I think I have it figured out as to what I'm gonna do... I will either end my patience and settle for a 50H81 when they become available from BB, or wait a few more weeks for the 57" (if applicable to my living room...

    Can't read replies to some messages...!?

    Why can't I read the replies to my original "Important... HDTV buying" question(s)?? I can't read the replies to a couple other original messages on this forum either. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me and my computer or internet connection? Thanks.

    Important question... buy Toshiba HDTV now or wait a week or even a couple of months?

    I just got my Best Buy credit card approved today and am looking to purchase a Toshiba 56-65" HDTV-ready set (through a 'no interest for 1 year' financing program). First off, if not too much trouble, could it be explained or (if easier) show me a web site that has the specs... but just what...

    Iowa HDTV-ers (and anyone else who can help me out on a few things)

    I'm beginning to think this is more a pipe-dream than anything. That is if I went and purchased an HDTV set in the next month for actual HDTV broadcasts. I could go and get a new DirecTV receiver that would allow me to watch the HBO-HD and Showtime-HD broadcasts, but I guess that would be...

    Iowa HDTV-ers (and anyone else who can help me out on a few things)

    Hi, This is more of a "feeling-out"/question post that I need some info to help sway me towards whether I want to start looking at HDTV sets or waiting until there get to be more and more HDTV broadcasts. But I am semi-seriously considering going "next generation" and investing in a very good...
