    Polk R15s on sale again...

    I just set up daily email for responses to this thread, as I am still possibly interested in the R50's as an upgrade to my R30's. After seeing the pic Jimi posted, I have to say the wood look sure is nice. Mine are black and I had thought I would get black R50's if I upgraded. What would...

    Polk R15s on sale again...

    I read thru all these posts and felt that I should reply. I have had the R30's for mains and the R15's for surrounds for about a year and a half, maybe longer. I had the CSI25 for my center, but have moved that to the rear center after getting a CSI40 as main center. As many here, I was most...

    Where is "Hill Street Blues" & "St Elsewhere"???!!!

    I'm happy I saw that Hill Street Blues was being released, just noticed it online a few weeks ago. I only read the replys in this thread from the summer on, but I have to agree that just because some of us are what some would call old it doesn't mean we don't buy TV sets or DVD's. I am 52 and...

    Star Trek Price Drop

    I was just in Best Buy this evening and picked up Season Four of "24". I had picked up the first 3 seasons in a special deal from Amazon.com I think I got them for around $118 plus shipping. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Anyway, getting 15,000 points and a price of $42.99 for season four...

    Best Buy -- Many Superbit DVDs now $9.99

    On a visit to my local BestBuy earlier tonite I noticed the Superbits priced back to $9.99 on many titles. The selection has thinned out, but only a few were still at $23-24, like Vertical Limit. They had at least 10 titles at 9.99 and alot of copies of them. I saw Patriot, Underworld, Fifth...

    Sony Pictures continues to drop existing widescreen transfers

    I agree that civility should be the normal course within this discussion. Just as professionalism should be practiced within the business world. Customers are a big part of that world, however, and they should be treated with courtesy as well. I believe that some companies become so large that...

    To all studios - The "3 Complaint Super Angriest" thread (modified to fit your pc)

    I would agree that there are times when a double-dip is appropriate. I have never been one to purchase anything twice that is not a presentation upgrade, however I will admit to a few times. Then I have usually sold or given away my prior copy. I picked up 'Escape From New York', 'Top Gun' and...

    Warner needs to address giving The Dirty Dozen an anamorphic DVD

    Yes, I heartedly agree. I added this title to my 'pick-up' list just awhile ago, as I have been adding some older movies in the "war" and "western" genres. I have hestitated to buy it due to the fact that it is not anamorphic. It has a low price, but I just find it hard to buy anything not...

    Weekly RoundUp 5/17/2005

I usually hit either the local BestBuy or Walmart depending on whats low. I can hit both on the same street right on my way home...

    Weekly RoundUp 5/10/2005

    That same thing happened to me. I noticed the $9.99 sticker but when it rang up it was at $11.99. The cashier was in training with a "teacher" assisting her in all ring-ups and she walked her through making the change. I am glad I was paying attention, I bought another DvD at the same time and...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Star Trek: First Contact - Special Collector's Edition (Recommended)

    Sam, thats good, I threw this in and quickly found some times that contain debris, both white specks and a few black ones. These frames were all found within 4:00 and 10:35 but they do occur throughout the entire film. I do believe this presentation is a nice one, but I have to disagree on it...

    West Wing Season 4 - new packaging details

    I picked this up Tuesday nite on the way home from work and we watched the first two episodes. I was extremely pleased with the single side discs and no foldouts. Those foldouts make it so hard to remove the discs, too. The discs are very clean as well, I remember having "scuff" marks on many...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Star Trek: First Contact - Special Collector's Edition (Recommended)

    I have the original release on this and upgraded to the collectors edition. I just got around to watching and about 5 minutes in I saw what I thought was a white dot flash by on-screen. I was surprised and went back to check if it was really there and it was. I did notice these popping up...

    Advice Needed: What center speaker to get for my R30s?

    Edward, I have the same speaker setup you are building and can offer a suggestion. R30's for the front and R15's for rear. I picked up the CSi20 for my center and found it to be a little too soft, too low in relation to the R30's and did some investigation on matching. If you had the R50's as...

    Goodfellas SE (MERGED THREAD)

    I thought the print looked pretty good. I was slightly astounded to see that line myself. It seemed to disappear as soon as the camera moved away from DeNiro. When it returned, the line was gone. That line took me by surprise, I was thinking something was wrong with my equipment. I don't think...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Kill Bill Volume 2

    I was wondering if anyone experienced what I believe I saw during the scene with 'Uma after her daughter has fallen asleep'. The scene appeared to shift between reddish tinges and white tinges across the whole screen. Kind of like it was washing back and forth between the two. I had just paused...
