Paul, I'm guessing Amazon is simply mishandling your order because it was for the initially-planned HD-DVD/DVD combo release of The Jerk (if I remember correctly Universal changed it to a non-combo towards the end of February). Amazon more or less canceled that item and re-added it as a separate...

I believe if you hunt around Amazon's site for the fine print regarding their free Super Saver shipping, it will indicate that these orders are essentially a lower priority than others. Orders for customers who paid for shipping and for Amazon Prime members will take top priority, and Super...

As much as I hate to say it, I picked up a Playstation 3 last night entirely because of this movie. I've never been a big fan of Sony and I'm very pleased with what HD-DVD has had to offer, but I knew when I left the theater after seeing the midnight opening night showing of Casino Royale that...

Fantastic! I'll finally be able to delete Eternal Sunshine from my DVR. I find the movie to be rather depressing overall, but somehow in a good way. One of my favorites.

I can verify that the firmware update(s) linked in this thread work fine. The file size of the ISO should be 58,420kb. Make sure you burn in Disc-at-Once mode and not Track-at-Once, or the player will get to about the 50% point and spit the disc out and tell you to try downloading the update later.

If I may make a suggestion, do a little research on the Olevia brand name. They've garnered some pretty good reviews in the budget LCD arena, and for the price it seems you can't go wrong. I just received my new 37" 537H model today from Newegg - the total was about $1037 shipped. So far I've...

I believe the fifth season of Smallville is set to be released on HD-DVD at some point. I saw a magazine ad for it recently, although no release date was given (it's "coming soon," or something to that extent).

A read-only drive doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me. As we've seen with the Toshiba HD-DVD models, the players are basically just specialized computers. For those of us who already have "high-end" computers with the other components necessary to do the processing, why not let us have the...

I've been a fan of Rammstein since MTV played Du Hast so many summers ago (this is probably the case for a lot of us American fans), but Herzeleid ended up being my favorite album of theirs. I was kind of disappointed with Mutter, and the singles I've heard from this latest effort don't seem...

Great news! I first saw this in my high school psychology class of all places and watched it again a year or so after that - everything was just as funny, if not funnier, the second time around. I'll definitely be adding this to my collection.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I tried Powerquest Drive Image 7 twice to no avail (got a lovely "Error loading OS" message after switching the drives), but lo and behold, Seagate's own partitioning software did the trick. It took an extraordinarily long time for it to copy the C drive...

Just to clarify, I hope to be copying directly from the original drive to the new drive by hooking the new drive up to the computer via an external USB2.0 enclosure. I don't want to deal with any kind of "middle man" like DVDs if I don't have to. I see that Norton Ghost supports making backups...

I've had my current computer for about two and a half years. I started with a 60gb hard drive, and about a year ago added an 80gb drive to the mix. Now, both drives are reaching full capacity, and I'm ready to swap the 60gb one with a new 160gb drive. My question is this: Is it possible to...

I picked up a copy at Best Buy on Wednesday for $14.99. They had 3 copies in stock at the time. This is my first experience with Ryan Adams - I'd heard one single from this album (and liked it) and I was itching to buy a new SACD so I went ahead and took the plunge. I had no idea that it had...

I'll buy the album if and when it's released on SACD. Even at $9.99 for the CD, I'd still end up paying well over $20 if I gave in now and had to double dip on a SACD version later.
