    Netflix lowered monthly rates, what about their future?

    So, do current Netflix customers need to cancel and then re-sign up to get this new price?

    Weekly Roundup 10/1

    Denied! I went to Circuity City to pick up SK and they refused to take the $5 coupon. Then I went to K-Mart, they were out of business. I then went to Best Buy and they refused to price match K-Mart AND take the $5 coupon. They said one or the other. I even talked to a manager about it. No go...

    How to use a best buy.com coupon?

    Thanks Jeff, the coupon discount didn't show up until after I completed the order then I had to go back to order status to see the $10 taken off the price. Their web page should fix that, it makes it look like the coupon isn't used.

    How to use a best buy.com coupon?

    Hi, This may sound dumb but I got a $10 coupon for ordering LOTR at bestbuy.com. So, I go to order more dvds, get to the payment screen, enter the coupon code, hit save, go to the next screen with my order total listed and the coupon discount doesn't show up. I try the edit the order and I...

    Difference between HK avr125 and avr225?

    Hi, is there any difference between the avr125 and avr225 other than output wattage? I know the 125 has 45x5 and the 225 has 55x5. Is that the only difference? And if so, is that worth $100? I'm wondering if I really need that extra power. I'm not one of these people that needs the whole...

    Any AE100 owners on this Forum?

    You could place the center speaker behind the screen. That's how movie theaters do it.

    XBox - Jagginess on Toshiba 57HX81

    Really? I watched someone play it today for a while and it looked like it was running about 15 fps.

    XBox - Jagginess on Toshiba 57HX81

    Hey, you guys are right about a lot of xbox games not using anti-aliasing. The problem is that anti-aliasing is not cheap and can have a serious impact on frame rate. I know MS has said anti-aliasing is free on xbox, but it's really not. Morrowind is already suffering from a terrible framerate...

    hehe, anyone see that tour back in 91-92 with Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax? Good times. :)

    Am I just getting old or what???

    I wish my parents had been more strict about me wearing ear plugs when I played in bands and went to concerts. I didn't start wearing ear plugs at band practice until college but it was too late, I have tinnitus in both ears. And Jerry is right, every time you hear ringing in your ears you have...

    Nintendo Shifts Focus from Consoles to Games

    I love how Yamauchi bashes game developers non-stop. If only every game company could be as great as Nintendo, what a wonderful world it would be. "They give money to people that really should be unemployed, and they in turn round up some friends, start a company and begin creating software...

    Vertical Black Bars On Composite Inputs on Tosh 57HX81?

    Jesse is right about it being an overscan issue. When games are made they go through an approval process from the console manufacturer. One of the requirements is that nothing important in the game (like the HUD) can be cut off by some insane amount of overscan. Somewhere around 10-15% I think...

    100 inch screen??

    hehe, one of my friends did this with a 13" tv. But when he turns the tv upside down all the color bleeds out and the picture turns green. But he's color blind so he never noticed until we told him. (And yes it looks like a $20 projection)

    Any tricks getting into service menu on a 65HX81?

    From http://www.bus.ucf.edu/cwhite/theater/ServiceMode.htm To get into Service mode: 1. Turn your TV on. 2. For X81 or earlier series: Press MUTE on your remote and release. 2. For H80/H81/HX81 series: Press MUTE on your remote and release two times ("Mute" on-screen) 3. Press down MUTE on...

    36" Traditional or 32" Flat

    I would say definately go with a flat screen. But whether to get hdtv or not is not as cut and dry. With DVI and/or firewire connectors a few years away this may not be the best time to buy a hdtv. (I just recently bought one but use it mainly for dvds). But if you watch a lot of regular...
