    Blu-ray rebate question.

    I'm also in Canada, and it took less than six weeks to get mine. I mailed the form on July 13th and got the discs on Aug. 22nd.

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    If you hold down the PS logo button for a couple of seconds, it should ask you if you want to shut down.

    PS3 Price Drop - $499

    I expect it will be a while. The deal (at least here in Canada) stated 8-10 wks. for delivery.

    PS3 Price Drop - $499

    I can speak only for myself, but I picked up a PS3 after the price drop for two reasons: the Blu-ray player and backwards-compatibility. Right now there aren't really any good games for the PS3. I never got a PS2, so I'm playing PS2 games until the holiday season. I'd rather have hardware...

    How good is a PlayStation 3 as a DVD player?

    The PS3 is also a SACD player. :)

    HDTV screens vs. toddlers

    I've read that you shouldn't use any type of cleaner on DLP screens or it will damage the anti-glare coating - hence my concern. Eric - what make and model of LCD do you have?

    HDTV screens vs. toddlers

    Are food and fingerprints easy enough to clean from DLP screens? I could keep the crayons away if that was the only mitigating factor.

    HDTV screens vs. toddlers

    We are moving into a new house at the end of the month, and my wife has given the go ahead for me to start shopping around for big screen TVs. Based on our budget, I was considering a 50" Samsung DLP, but I'm concerned about how well the screen can stand up to daily life with toddlers. It's easy...

    DVD Marquee - The Debut Feedback

    I haven't listened to it yet (planning to on the commute home tonight), but I have still two suggestions: 1. Add an RSS feed so I can subscribe with my podcatching app. 2. Fill out the ID3 tags on the file so that it doesn't show up on my iRiver with Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, etc. 2b...

    Battlestar Galactica: Season 2 - SciFi US broadcast thread

    My guess is that Starbuck remains CAG of the Pegasus while Apollo is reinstated as the CAG of the Galactica.

    Cable choices in Toronto suburbs

    It is, but I take transit so I don't come home with road rage every day. It takes longer still, but I can read, watch a movie or take a nap while someone else drives. I've been doing it for close to eight years now.

    Rockstar: INXS

    Canada's greatest export (IMHO) has always been it's musical talent. J.D. and Suzie are both great examples of this. I'm afraid I just don't understand Marty's appeal. I've been underwhelmed by almost all of his performances. Even those I've found passable don't really fit in with INXS' past...

    Cable choices in Toronto suburbs

    For cable, you're pretty much stuck with Rogers. For a broadband ISP, I would probably stick with Rogers as well. Cable internet access is fine up here, and you can probably get a deal bundling the services, especially if you add a cellphone from the Rogers network to the mix. I can't...

    Rockstar: INXS

    Long story short: he played the race card and said the only reason he kept showing up in the bottom three was because he was African-American. :thumbsdown:

    That's how I saw it as well.

    Rockstar: INXS

    OMG, that's exactly what my wife said. It was awful. The zebra-striped crotch was another bad one - the whole outfit screamed 80's metal.

    Survivor Guatemala: Season 11

    If you take the time to read all the bios, one interesting fact sticks out: Three of the contestants have identical twins. Coincidence? I think not. I just wonder how Burnett and co. will work it into the game.

    Rockstar: INXS

    It took me a few minutes to place the face, but I recognized Tara as the singer for the (now-defunct) Toronto-based band Joydrop.

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    Patrick - can you tell me where you got this info? I run a Survivor pool that gives points for each vote, but I couldn't track down the two unrevealed votes.

    Oops, my ignorance is showing again! I guess I'll have to rent Forbidden Planet. :b Thanks to all who took the time to assuage my concerns.

    Lost Season 1 ongoing thread (merged)

    Stacy - I don't know if you're being sarcastic or if this is spoiler material, but if it's the latter, I suggest you put it in spoiler tags sooner than later. A lot of people (myself included) prefer to wait for the episodes to air.

    I'm pretty sure they did. I thought the same thing as Patrick when Rebecca and Hellbaby won.
