Got this in my mail from CD Universe: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinf...53496122&BAB=M It's a "deluxe edition" of Operation: mindcrime. Can't find any details on what it actually is. Someone have the scoop?

This morning I tried to get my 360 and PC connected to stream my MP3's. Was able to download the Media Connect software but was prompted to install the .NET Framework. Installed that, ran the Media Connect setup. Everything went fine until the Xbox 360 authorization stage where MC was unable to...

For those guitar players out there who use the Line 6 Vetta II amp (either combo or head version) there is a free upgrade available through Line 6. Firmware v2.5 offers, among other things, the following new goodies: Six (6) new amp models, including Orange and DumbleSeven (7) wah models in...

It amazes me that finding codes for the 360 has been so challenging. I went to an RC forum link and dug through it to find some hex codes. The navigation and transport codes work but not the numeric keypad, X/Y/A/B or Guide buttons. I also found this CCF for Windows Media Center that has...

Hey All I finished my latest project: a backlit poster box for the foyer of my theater. Detailed here. I had started this project as a simple poster frame (from HT Market) glitzed up with perimeter rope lighting. My original intent was always to purchase a commerical box and inset it into the...

Hey All I just received this poster frame from HTmarket.com. Looks very slick with the ability to quickly swap posters (the front frame sections are spring loaded and open outwards). The easy installation is to simply mount the frame directly to the wall. I had another idea to mount it...

Hey All I finally got around to a) completing my theater, and b) posting some pics. I've created a gallery here. I'll be adding other pics at some point. The gallery is much easier to work with then messing around updating my personal website. Any questions let me know.

Does a heat shrink product exist to terminate as a Y-end, specifically for speaker cables? Idea is a 1/2" tube that merges into two 1/4" tubes (2:1 ratio so finished would be 1/4" and 1/8"). You could trim to taste, with the larger section going over the main cable with the positive and negative...

Hey All I recently installed the Model 9871 HDTV distribution system from Audio Authority and am thrilled with the results: In a nutshell it allows you to distribute HDTV component video and digital audio via CAT-5 cable to dedicated wall outlets throughout your home. One CAT-5 driver...

Hey All I'm interested in hearing any solutions for aspect ratio mattes for front projection systems. I've made them in the past for my RPTV but this is going to obviously be much larger in scale. I'm considering two aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and 1.33:1. 1.85 is too close to my 16:9 screen to...

Odd question for you all. I'm installing my gear into a Middle Atlantic equipment rack complete with their custom faceplates. I realized immediately that I had to remove the decorative faux wood sides from the CLD-99 laserdisc player before installation. That leaves a pair of thin brass strips...

Hey All I have a Toshiba TP48E50 4:3 RPTV that is a few years old. I have been trying to readjust the 1080i compressed geometry and have run into a snag. The 16:9 raster area was too short so I adjusted it to proper 1.78:1 ratio using the HIT function in the service menu. Previously the...

Post self explanatory. How is the audio and video for this release? Looks like a nice package.

Hey All Title self explanatory. Will the Xbox 360 support Microsoft's WMV-10 HD format? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...m/HDVideo.aspx

Will this thing actually work to split a digital audio signal to two: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...7076&CatId=466 Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a new HD-PVR satellite receiver that I would like to feed into two rooms. It has a component and DVI video output that appear to...

Hey All Is it possible to split a single optical digital output into two (preferably into coax)? I have a satellite receiver with a single optical output that I would like to use in two different rooms.

I have two (2) lines coming in from a satellite dish but I need connections to four (4) receivers in the house (great room, rec room, and dual tuner input for theater). Can someone recommend appropriate products for this application? I'm assuming powered would be best to accommodate the long...

Hey All Given that a) the Xbox 360 has built-in VGA capability and a VGA cable, and b) that I would be connecting it to a 720p projector via iScan HD+ would it be better then using a component connection? Are there any advantages/disadvantages? I would have input room regardless so am focused...

I'm in the process of ordering a Slim 5 Middle Atlantic rack system for my theater. The variety of accessories for these systems is overwhelming. Interested in recommendations on must-haves and nice-to-haves when constructing one of these racks. It will be a fixed install with the equipment...

Hey All I'm wondering what is needed to take full advantage of 20A electrical. Do you need to replace standard power cords for amps in order to get the extra juice? When running a power center (surge, filtering) does that need to be a 20A model, and if not are the 20A circuits basically a...

Curious re: programming of RF remote controls that use IR base stations. Clearly they send their native commands in RF, translating from what has been taught to them from IR remotes in radio frequency (which in turn are received at a base station, converted back to IR and retransmitted to...

Seems this review was just posted today on Panasonic's new LCD projector. Very impressive. :emoji_thumbsup: I'm gearing up to complete my theater and this is my front runner. Great performance and installation flexibility. And at a price point that won't kill me when it comes time to upgrade...

I just noticed MotoGP3 is on the shelves. Received a "great" rating at Gamespot. Looks like another stellar addition to the series. Has anyone played it?

Hey All I've always been a big fan of the movie 12 Monkeys by Terry Gilliam. I know there's a pretty fervent following for Brazil and Baron Munchausen. But I also understand they're pretty, shall we say, offbeat. ;) Are either something I might enjoy based on my experience with Monkeys that...

Just noticed this was posted a few hours ago. I know it's been in discussion for some time but last I heard/read it was stuck at the negotiation stage. Here's hoping they don't f**k it up. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/...s_6131735.html

According to Google News this is just a couple hours old. Talks to unify the HD-DVD format seem to have collapsed, although no big surprise here. Full story here.

Hey All A new forum has been created under Video Game Software dedicated to UMD Movies for the PSP. There has been a growing level of discussions and reviews on this format so it's best to isolate from Software. Click here to go to the new forum. UMD posts have been moved with redirects...

Hey Guys I was at a friend's cabin this weekend and he cracked out an old Sega system with NHL '95. Old-school 2D and a blast. I don't play sports games and have none in my collection, but am wondering what might be good cheap titles to have for spur-of-the-moment.

PS3 will launch at this year's E3. Will be interesting to see how it looks and how Sony and Microsoft will position against each other. Please use this as the official PS3 discussion thread.

Tonight is the broadcast of the Xbox Next (I believe officially called "Xbox 360"). No doubt there will be a tonne of discussion on the next gen hardware, which Microsoft will release in 2005. Looking forward to seeing it this evening! Please post all related discussion here.
