Until there's one format, I'm very happy with what I have. I'm a movie fan, not a technology fan. I'm waiting on newer things like "Superman Returns" but some older movies I've purchased like "The Spiral Staircase" - the way I look at it is if it's the only version of the movie on the market...

So to clarify - there was an earlier release with extras which went out of print, and a barebones release which was available only in a set. This appears to be the original release, as extras are listed, back in print (because it can't just be that Amazon has some left in stock because DDD lists...

Amazon has it listed at $17.99 and shipping in 1-2 weeks and Deep Discount DVD has it at $14.11 and being released on August 22. Does anybody know anything about it?

Carlo, Thanks for the quick response. My new monitor's resolution is 1440x900. The 3 settings my copy of XP has are 1280x1040, 1024x768, and 800x600, which are all 4x3. I fear that means my computer can't accept a widescreen display. Am I correct? Is there anyway to update the software so...

I will be in deep debt (as if I'm not already) to anyone who can give me a hand with this... I just bought a new 19in widescreen flat panel monitor to replace a 4x3 for my computer running Windows XP (not Media Center Edition). How can I adjust the picture settings so the picture isn't...

Mr. Harris, Just to clarify a little bit about your last post... re: what older films would/wouldn't benefit from HD... Would I be correct in saying that older films that might have been, for lack of a better phrase, better taken care of over the years ("Gone with the Wind," "The Wizard of...

I should also add (and I'm sure many Blockbuster Online members have experienced the same thing) that they keep switching the HD titles in my queue to SD without telling me or giving me the option of doing so. I don't find out until the wrong disc arrives in the mail. It's fine to give me the...

I got this e-mail from Blockbuster Online today. I don't know what I'm more upset about, that they're basically calling me an idiot or that they seem to not want to sell a new product... Dear XXXXXXX, Over the last few weeks, your Queue has included DVDs in HD format, a new DVD format that...

Mr. Harris, I too have been thinking a lot lately (as everybody here has) about whether or not I will hold off on buying SD in favor of waiting for HD, so I thank you for your insightful comments about how you personally feel about it. The bigger question (to me) is what to do with the DVD's...

Blockbuster has recently expanded it's Netflix-like service "Movie Pass" to all of its stores. For $24.99 a month you can keep 2 movies for as long as you like. They certainly won't have the selection of Netflix, but with the greater convienence (of not having to wait for movies in the mail or...

This has bugged me every time I've seen it. What do you think the deal was with Mel Gibson's character always needing to pick up a copy of "Catcher in the Rye" everytime he saw one???

Hey guys, Thanks for all of the great responses so far - they've really given me a place to start looking. I think my main problem is that A/V gear these days is very much directed for 5.1 theater use, so it seems hard to put something together for just good ol' music listening. Here's a...

I currently have a good Pioneer Elite/Def Tech home theater system in my living room, but I'm looking for some advice on setting up a very good yet basic music listening-only system for my office at home. Some things I'm looking for: -A 2 channel set-up only. I flirted with DVD Audio but...

This is how the sub is hooked up: A single RCA plug hooked up to the "subwoofer preout" jack on the back of the receiver, that single RCA goes to a y-adapter to make it a double RCA, which then plugs into the left and right low level in on the back of the sub. When I just looked at the back of...

First, my current set-up: For my front left and rights and my surrounds I'm using Def Tech BP6B's (20-175 watts), I'm not sure of the model of my Def Tech center (I think it was discontinued) but it's 200 watts, and my sub is the Definitive ProSub 80 (250watts). For the settings on my...
