    PS3 Media Server for Mac

    This looks very interesting, but I am not quite sure I follow how to set it up (or how it works.) I would really like to give it a try and was wondering if any Mac experts on the Forum have used it and can comment on setup, performance, ease of use, etc. Thanks much!

    Star Trek - The Animated Series $14.96 at Walmart -- YMMV

    The title says it all! This appears to be a new shelf price at the Walmart I was in last night. After I bought mine, there were still 3 or 4 copies behind it on the rack, so chances are good you'll find a similar situation at your local store. This is an excellent price for a killer series, but...

    Sam's Club Deal On Image Saeson Sets

    Like all things Sam's Club, this is a YMMV type thing, but while shopping yesterday, I noticed several TV DVD sets on sale. They had all five seasons of The Dick Van Dyke Show priced at around $28 each, and all five seasons of Twilight Zone Definitive Edition priced at $44 each, plus a handful...

    Upgrading - Must my new receiver "support" SACD and DVD-Audio for playback?

    I apologize in advance for asking what is probably a dumb question, but so far, I haven't been able to get a straight answer. Here is my situation. I currently have a Denon AVR-3805 that has served me well for years. In fact, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and I still love the way it...

    YMMV $13.44 TV on DVD Season Sets at Sam's Club

    I just returned from the local Sam's Club where I saw the following Warners season sets all marked at $13.44 each: And possibly one or two more that I don't recall at the moment... Like everything else Sam's Club, this is definitely a YMMV deal and most likely won't be around for very...

    Any reviews of the new Clutch Cargo DVD's?

    Did anyone pick up either volume of the Clutch Cargo season sets released this week, and if so, can you comment on the overall quality of the set? I know these are very inexpensive (around $10 ea), but I'd still like to know if the audio/video presentation is decent. Thanks!

    Access Sony DVD Player Service Menu

    I know this was posted in the past, but can anyone tell me how to access the service menu on a Sony DVP-NC865V changer. I want to check the laser alignment on the DVD pickup and it appears that all of the older codes require the player to be in 'standby mode' to access the service menu. Newer...

    Where is the George Reeves Superman series on DVD?

    Who owns the rights to the original Superman TV series? With the wild success of TV on DVD, you'd think that a such a perennial favorite in syndication would be a natural for season sets on DVD. I'd pick up Superman in a heartbeat, especially of the episodes are complete and uncut. Has anyone...

    Apologizing in advance for dumb question about bi-wiring

    I just picked up a pair of Polk Audio RTi4 bookshelf speakers and when I got them home, I discovered they are set up for bi-wiring. I took a quick look at the back of my receiver (Panasonic SA-HE100K) and saw that it has two sets of speaker inputs (A&B.) The Panasonic documentation does not...

    Confessions of a SACD convert...

    I began dabbling in hi-res audio a few months ago and had pretty much committed to the DVD-A format, but after going through 3 different Panasonic DVD-F85's that all failed in some way after a brief period of time, I decided to switch brands. I had previously auditioned a Pioneer 563A and was...

    My copy of the GameSpot E3 DVD arrived today...

    In general, I am pleased with this 3-disc set. I certainly cannot complain about the price - three DVD's for $9.95 plus shipping. I spent the better part of tonight checking it out, and here's a quick review... The overall program presentation is good and the DVD production values are above...

    Harrison reviews GCN online gaming plan

    Here you go... Register Story He makes a good point about the lack of current subscribers. I can't help but think Nintendo should be looking at this a little more seriously. Right now, this is all about creating "top of mind awareness" with consumers (not a Nintendo strong point of late.)...

    Great news for Jo Jo Gunne fans!

    BrianB, which version of Terminator are we looking at?

    Brian, I picked up the final issue of NextGen yesterday and greatly enjoyed reading about the new Terminator game you are working on. It sounds like it has great potential and appears to be shaping up nicely. Just out of curiosity, most of the game screens appear to be rather blown up (I...

    Need help with SH-AC500D

    I have a Technics SH-AC500D digital surround processor I bought three or four years ago and have been very pleased with its peformance, except for one thing. The unit "auto-detects" source material (DD,DTS, etc), which results in a one-second or so delay when the processor kicks in. Normally...

    Dreamcast sees a further reduction in price

    When I was at TRU today during lunch, I noticed the Dreamcast was marked down to $49.99. I believe the sports pack was also marked down, but I don't recall the exact price. Since I had not seen this posted yet (and Camp alluded to something "big" coming down the pike), I thought I would pass...

    I picked up Klonoa 2 earlier in the week, but didn't get a chance to play it until now. Since no one has mentioned this game yet, let me simply say that Namco has done it again! If you have a PS2 and are any kind of platform fan, you owe it to yourself to go out and (at the very least) rent...

    I picked up the new PlayStation Underground Jampack (Summer 2001) today at Target ($7.99 list). I know this is the "free" disc you are supposed to get when you send in your PS2 registration card, but since I mailed mine back in December and never received a thing, I decided to risk eight bucks...
