Hi all, It's probably been 4 or 5 years since I posted (most of my stuff is that old too). I'm thinking about getting a Panny BD60, but wondered what else I'll need to upgrade if anything. Here's my gear... TV: LG42LH40 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Receiver: Pioneer VSX-709S Speakers: Front; B&W...

Hi gang, I'm always looking to add to my music collection. If you could give me your top 5 classical recordings on CD I figure it will make a nice shopping list for a while. Especially interested in Composers I have little or nothing from yet. Most of what I have now can be seen here...

As the subject says... I've got the '99 and '01 releases of The Holy Grail. Any reason to keep the older one? I seem to remember thinking there was at the time the '01 release came out, but can't think of it now. Thanks

I see that Gettysburg will be re-released on February 3, 2004. Any news on if it's the extended cut or not? Or did they just work out the issues that got it pulled a while back? Thanks

Hey all, I'm thinking about getting Sirius and had a few questions. I've skimmed through the existing threads & learned quite a bit so far. How do they handle Classical? I'd want something that plays full pieces, not just select movements like a compilation CD would have. Do they have a...

Hey gang, I asked this over on AVS, but never got any answers. Hopefully someone here can help. A few days ago I was given some pretty decent computer parts. As I already have a very good PC I was thinking of turning these into a HTPC of sorts. First what I got... Shuttle SN41G2 512MB...

I find my self wanting to start exploring classical music more. What I have... Beethoven Symphonies No.4 & No.5 / Edgemont Overture New York Philharmonic - Leonard Bernstein Sony Classical - Bernstein Century series - SMK 63079 Beethoven Symphonies No.6 & No.8 / King Stephen Overture...

Since this list was somewhat popular last year, I thought I'd do it again this year. With Memorial Day being this weekend I thought I'd share a list of the various war films that will be showing on TV. It's been a tradition since I was a kid that my dad and I watch a few war films on...

Hi all, Since I know the most about computers at work I'm the defacto "IT Guy". I know next to nothing however about firewall software. Basically what we have set up is a small peer to peer type network. One computer has a dial up connection (mine) and it shares that connection. Now a couple...

Anyone know of a good FAQ on turtables anywhere? After a thread I had on Steve Hoffman's forum I've decided I want a turntable. I just want something basic that will sound ok. I've looked at possibly getting a MMF 2.1, but I need a phono stage too & I'm not sure I want to spend $350-$400 to...

My 30th birthday is coming up at the end of the month. I thought that since friends are always bugging me asking what I'd like it would be the perfect opportunity to expand my CD collection. What I'm looking for is your top albums. Any category, I like most if not all genres. From Norah Jones to...

I think I may be looking for a new player soon, mainly to get a few features I don't currently have. My current player is a Panny A310 that I got back in '98. I'm loathe to give it up though. Every player I've looked at (parents, friends, relatives) has a remote that sucks compared to my A310...

Hi all, Warner Bros. contacted me about running a contest to give away three copies of the One-Sheet for the upcomming Gods and Generals. With Ron's ok I'm making this post to let all my fellow HTF members know about it. The contest is at http://www.filmbunker.com The site doesn't have...

January Round 1 - New Mech (The Raven) Speed: 42m/s (2nd fastest Mech in the game) Laser: x2 Mach Gun: x2 Defense: Null Sig x2 (lasts twice as long as normal) No Jump Round 2 - New Map Hell's Kitchen (A lava map with dense city area) Round 3 - New Mech (Corvus) Speed: 42 m/s...

Hey gang, I just found out I'm getting a DVD burner (most likely the ?new Sony dual format drive) for a gift from my parents for Christmas. I have a few questions as there are a few things I'd like to accomplish with it if possible. First I'd like to be able to backup some of my VHS tapes to...

I'm going to be in the market for a video switcher of some kind and figured you guys would have a recommendation. The plan is to be able to hook up my XBox, Dreamcast, GC (getting tomorrow) and possibly N64 up to one composite hookup on my receiver. It would be neat if I could hook my Atari 2600...

Trying to decide on if I want to buy a GC or not. I currently have an XBox and a Dreamcast as far as newer systems go. I see a fair number of games I'm interested in already. What I'm wondering is are there any killer, must have type, games planned for the next year? I've enjoyed past Mario...

Any word on when this silent war classic might make it's way to disc? TIA

It appears Best Buy is now charging MSRP or higher on some titles. This may be old knowledge to some folks, but I was surprised. I only looked at two titles in particular, but they can't be the only ones. Wall Street MSRP $19.99 - BB Price $19.99 Bridges at Toko-Ri MSRP $19.99 - BB Price...

Title says it all. I've only been playing it since Friday and I pretty much suck. Let me start out by saying I'm generally not a racing game guy. Since this one came with the beta kit and since bike races bring back fond memories (used to work volunteer corner medical staff at races) I...

They have it for what comes out to $48.82 US. Then there's a $10 off coupon (CANADASMAG5T) that Brent H had in his Band of Brothers thread. They also have the TNG sets for $76.12 US. Anyone know the the Canadian release id the same as the US one?

Hey all, Just looking at Amazon.ca and it looks like I can save a bunch by getting my Nov. 5th box sets from them. My main question is would these be the same releases as I'd get here in the US? Packaging and content wise? Here's what I'm looking at getting. -...

I'm still trying to decide if I'm getting this or not (decided to skip the beta), but have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. My current DSL "Modem" is a Cisco 675. The 675 has a built in DHCP server so does routing for me. It's hooked into a 10/100 switch. Now if I was adding another...

I just bought a Toshiba e310. Now I'm looking for some good stuff for it. Anyone got some good links for me to check out? What are your favorite sites? Any advice for someone moving to this from a Palm (IIIx)? Thanks

I was at Target today and they had some XBOX games on clearance. Azurik and NightCaster are $15, Dave Mira(?) and Cell Damage are $10. There was one other game for $15 something racing, but I can't remember the name. Just thought some folks might want a heads up. Sorry if this should be in...

Hi all, I just did a small upgrade on my computer. I just upgraded my old DVD-ROM to a new LiteOn 16X and made the 16X Region Free. I've got Region Killer so that Power DVD still thinks it's R1. I also just added a Radeon 8500 which has a TV out. Now if I understand the posts I found while...

Ok, I know Dreamcasts are "old", but I got one in exchange for Obi-Wan (X-Box) so it was cheap. The only game I've got is Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Other than that I've got one controller and the unit. I figure I'll get another controller and pick up a few sports games since they're so cheap...

I was just reorganizing my collection and noticed I still have a copy of the MGM release of The Wizard of Oz. I also have the Warner Bros. release. Any reason to keep the MGM one? TIA!

Ok, I got a copy of Jet Set Radio Future pretty cheap today. One possible problem, it doesn't have a book. Is there anywhere I can download a PDF or scans of the book? Is the book necessary? I've played the demo, so have a basic idea as far as movement and stuff. Thanks!

With Memorial Day being this weekend I thought I'd share a list of the various war films that will be showing on TV. I was probably a bit generous with my list (Major Payne, ect.), but you get the idea. It's been a tradition since I was a kid that my dad and I watch two or three war films on...
