Hey gang, My receiver that I use in my basement seems to be dying after about 7 years of use. I'm looking to get a replacement. My main uses are gaming for X-box and Gamecube. And more importantly, playing (exercising)to Dance Dance Revolution (stepmania actually) from my computer...
I downloaded the full version of Fuzzee Fever. 4 player games have been nothing short of perfection! What an action packed puzzle/action game. Well worth the 20 bucks. Although I almost hesistated because they only give you a FIVE MINUTE demo. that's insane, you cannot begin to...

Xbox and the X1 Anyone with this combo care to explain to me their connection to the x1 and benefits disadvantages of the s-video to the vga connection. I'm getting my x1 tomorrow (with the breakout cables) I was hoping this would be enough. Or should I look for a component to vga adapter...
Hey guys, With all this talk about the x1 and rainbows my question is. Does the screen size make a difference as to the severity of the rainbow effect? I have been wanting to get a 25" HDTV for gaming purposes in my basement. So I don't need a 80-100 inch screen size. If its smaller ( i...
Hi guys, Been playing Wolfenstein the last couple of nights. Man when you can get on a good server with team thinking players. Nothing compares. Unfortunately that has been rare. Can someone tell me how to add you guys to my buddy list. Or can you put me on yours? Or any servers that you...

In order to prepare for a upcoming golf vacation to Orlando, I went to "virtual" golf place. I have been to such things in the past. Our golf chain store around here "Golf Galaxy" has decent ones. Just spendy to use. Anyhow, the one today was very underwhelming. It was using Links 386 for...

system. That being said...

Here's another question I have. Not for sure whether to post here or in speakers/subwoofers. Using the digital optical out from my Toshiba DVD to my Pioneer 811, can you still get 5.1 or in my case 7.1 sound? When I first set it up we were not, so I went and connected the regular...

I am receiving a X-box for X-mas!
However I need a receiver to take advantage of the

Thanks

I don't have an outdoor antenna set up and would rather try
an indoor antenna just trying to get some success...
