Hey Kirk... actually, I'm not in Davis any more...I'm in San Jose. I gotta change that:) And you're more than welcome to take a look if you want to swing down to San Jose...it all depends on what day you're coming :)

I'm not sure if you'd want to do shipping...I speced it out with both UPS Ground and FedEx a while back and shipping ending up being >$50!! If you're still interested, PM me your zip and I'll send you exact shipping costs.

I have a 120" Da-Lite Screem for a front projector. Nothing special, just a 1.0 gain, manual pull down. I'd like to trade for a 90-100" screen of the same type. I've screwed up on my throw-distance calculations, and now I can't find any way to fill the entire screen with my Sanyo Z2. I'll...

I thought it was a very good re-interpretation of Homer's poem. The lack of involvement by the gods made it less mythological, which I'm very grateful for (sidetrack--don't see how they'll do "The Odyssey" as a sequel to "Troy" if there isn't going to be any divine involvement). OT...

I thought Metroid was pretty good, but I honestly don't see how it can compare to Halo. As for GTA, it's a different beast...but I certainly enjoyed it a whole lot more than either Metroid or Halo. BTW, I got the gamecube for Mario Kart and it's worth it!

Where'd you find it for $19.99 I love Colin Mcrae rally.

Not to troll or anything...and I hope people don't take too much offense at this. But sometimes, unless a receiver is over a certain amount of money people on this forum tend to automatically disregard it. Meanwhile, an underwhelming receiver or pre-pro with multiple issues might be loved...

I have an old Hughes HIRD-E1 Receiver and the access card that came with it. I've switched to DISHNetwork a little while back and have had no use for it. I've tried putting this thing on eBay but they keep cancelling saying it violates cable descrambler rules. I don't know WTF is going on, but I...

Please don't compare cars to audio...total apples to oranges comparison. BTW, I would drive a Chevy over a VW any day. It'd last me twice as long and cost me half as much :D Of course, I'd choose a Hyundai over either of those cars.

Does anybody miss the first two NFS as much as I do? I still reminisce about RX-7 on the road courses in the first one.

Have you considered DScaler?

Scary Ice, Bones Jackson, and LT dominated in Mutant League Football on the Genesis!

Anybody with the PC version? What's the online cost...if any? The online costs will help me decide between 2K4 vs. Madden. I'm a long time Madden fan (on the PC), but 2K4 has it's own upside that I wouldn't mind checking out (especially on my 120" projector and full DD5.1 sound)!

From a technical perspective, I think many people will agree the XBox is on a different level. I truly believe there is a very noticeable difference in video and sound quality between the XBox and the PS2. Oh but the games.... How I wish I had a PS2 for the upcoming Gran Turismo. There are...

Madden for the PC and Sega for the XBox.

I'm with KeithAs...go with the Audio Express Optical-->Coax converter if you want cheap. The next cheapest would be the Sherwood 6108...I've seen them on sale at CC and Best Buy for $79.

Slightly off topic... Can the console makers succeed with a NON-subscription based online service? That is, leave the online connectivity/interface up to the game developers, and only provide the physical hardware to allow broadband connection. This is akin to all the PC games out there that...

Thanks for the link, David. It's not as bad as I thought...I was planning to spend about $20 on a cheapo microphone anyways...so this isn't bad.

I ordered one to hook up to my computer. Sounds like every other

It seems I've misplaced the MCACC setup mic for the 45TX during my move. Would any other microphone work, or does it have to be the Pioneer part. When I say "work", I mean work correctly and properly with the MCACC system...not necessarily just being able to pick up the sound pressure. If so...

DAMN! What a steal... I never seem to get these great deals.

Sent you a PM Benson

This reminds me of the "Disney remaking movies with CGI" thread, but much more civil :D I usually prefer the original over the remake, but in the case of the Ring, I actually preferred the American version. I also understand that not all people are comfortable with subtitles...some just don't...

Chris-- Thank you very much for posting that analysis. That was extremely informative, and if only partially true, is still a good judge of the genius of the brother's work. Previously, I had parallelled the "Neo anomaly" with "higher order terms" that one usually throws away when...

Sanyo PLV-Z1. For half the cost of a 36" direct view TV, get 120" screen that takes both component and vga input. You have to see Halo "Life-Sized" to truly appreciate it.

Thanks for all the input guys...I have some eBay searching to do now...hopefully, I can find a cheap Pioneer or JVC.

Isn't Disney the company that brought over "Spirited Away"? Maybe they do have sense of what "art" is...though I'm sure it was just evil Eisner guy greedily trying to make more money for their shareholders (which include me since I own several funds that actively trade Disney). BTW, I have no...

Alright...don't skewer me for this....but I'm trying to add karaoke to my system. In exchange for letting me set up a projector, the misses (plural...long story....no I'm not a poligamist) demand I set up some sort of karaoke. So what's the easiest way to get karaoke out of my Elite 45TX? I...

The sad thing I find from reading this thread is the general "elitism" displayed. The message I'm reading from some is "If you don't like Snow White and Peter Pan, you're stupid." Guess what? Many people prefer Picasso over Van Gogh. Hell, even more prefer "Dogs Playing Poker" over Monet...
