I doubt Nintendo will ever leave the hardware business as long as they have a choice.

Thanks, guys!

I've never used my DLP projector for anything but watching movies. Is there any danger of burn-in from long sessions on a gaming console? The nature of DLP makes this seem unlikely but I thought I should check with the HTF gurus.

It sounds similar to what I used in my media room. My builder called it asphalt impregnated sheathing.

I second the endorsement for Markertek. I used their acoustical foam and bass traps in my media room and am quite satisfied with the performance and price of their products.

I got it exclusively for the Kevin Smith footage, which was all too brief. 42 days waiting in line for the (IMHO) worst movie in the series... I found it difficult to not keep thinking these people were... nevermind. Then again, is it worse to wait in line for 42 days or watch a movie about...

I'd buy this but I'd rather have a boxed set of "The Young Ones".

Take care to make sure your projector will take a different lens. Some can't use anything but what the manufacturer supplied.

FWIW, the English dub of CTHD is excellent. This is an action film. You could use the National Weather Service automated voice to do the dubs and it wouldn't take much away from the movie. It's not like we're exploring deep character development and philosophical issues where delivery is more...

You can buy acoustic ceiling tiles of different colors.

The biggest complaint I have about the disc is the awful commentary track.

Is there some reason why you can't use any switch that has three RCA inputs? So what if they are labeled Left Right and Video you can use them for component video, right? I think Radio Shack even sells one with a remote control.

I think they should release H2G2 redubbed using actors from the USA...kinda like what happened with "Mad Max". I'm kidding, of course. :)

Eliab -- I agree that with DLP/LCD you need to consider ambient light. I don't agree that black levels are a problem. The black levels on the NEC LT-150 are excellent with an 800:1 contrast ratio and it doesn't cost much more than $2000 these days.
