Hi Joe,Thanks for your response.Unfortunately, due to my basic computer knowledge, much of what you said went over my head.I ripped a massive number of CDs before I became interested in streaming, not realising WAV is incompatible.

Hi there folks.Media streaming is a fairly new concept to me, but something I'm surprised isn't taking over the world right now. Wouldn't everyone (if they knew how) like to play anything from their computer on their living room AV...

Thanks Dave. The ONLY thing holding me back from a BD35 is I hear there's no subtitle button on the remote. As I like to flick the subtitles on and off very often, that's a serious bummer.

No-one seems to be answering the original question. What DID happen to Sin City? How could Canada get it before the US? I'm finding the international Blu-ray releases a little weird. We've had the Kill Bills and Crimson Tide on...
