I'd like to get a recorder soon and I need some advice from the pros. I will mainly be using this unit to transfer my Star Wars LD's to dvd, and then after that, transfering home movies on compact VHS and miniDV to DVD. Occasionaly I might see myself recording off TV, but not that much. I'm...

Microsoft's next batch of Platinum Hit games will all be available in stores on August 17th. Blinx The Time Sweeper Dead or Alive 3 Hitman 2: Silent Assassin 007: Nightfire Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Medal of Honor: Frontline Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Pac...

I'm interested in learning what future releases will support 16:9, 1080i/720p, 5.1 Dolby Digital etc. I've looked around but I haven't found any sites that list specs of future releases. The HD support thread here is great, but it only lists games that have already been released. Anyone...

I've got my box hooked up to my new Onkyo through one of my digital inputs, but when playing KOTOR (which has in-game 5.1), I only see the DPLII light on. In the initial set up on the XBOX, I set it to surround, is there something I'm doing wrong...? Also, is there a way to tell the XBOX...

Do I need to have a copy of Splinter Cell to play it, or is it a totally self contained level like a demo? I have SC for PS2 (got it before I got my XBOX) and I don't plan on buying it again just to play one extra level. Cheers. J.

I just got an X-Box last weekend and I was wondering if anyone has played both the PS2 and X-Box versions of this game. Which version did you prefer? I already have the game for PS2 and I'm thinking of trading it for the X-box version. I can't take advantage of the game's 1080i format...

I just got an X-Box last weekend and I've had some fun playing around on it so far. My only complaint is with the controller. The controller-S feels pretty good and I like the responsiveness of the the thumbsticks and 4 action buttons. It's the fact that it only has two triggers. I've grown...

I just bought a new Tosh 57H82 and my laserdisc PQ is looking pretty lousy. I am using similar settings to the DVD input that was set up with AVIA, but its still off. I don't own any laserdiscs that have color bars at the beginning or end, and I'm having a tough time finding Video Essentials...

I've been trying to get to the site but the server has been down for days. Is there a new url for this site??? Cheers. J.

I'll be taking delivery of this new set tommorrow and there are a few things I'd like to ask those of you who own this set or one of its siblings (42,50 or 65). I did some looking around at some of the HDTV-related websites and I found nothing on this model series. Everything I could find had to...

I'm looking at both of these sets and I wanted some input from the pros. The only major difference that I can see is the 82 is DVI upgradeable. I am concerned about compatability when the HD spec is finally decided on, however, I also think that when it is decided there will be kits available...

Call me crazy, but I can't stand mixing jewel cases with DVD sized cases, so I've been making some custom covers for a little unity. What do you think?

I found myself singing the "Giggle Cream" radio commercial in my head today!!:b "Wa Wa, Wa Wa Wa Wa, that's the sound I love!" I seriously need to take a break, I'm trying to get 100% so I've been doing all the side projects and what not, and since there's so much to do, I'm starting to...

From Computer and videogames.com PS2-SIZED XBOX FOR E3? A reduction in size for Microsoft's hefty console highly likely as industry chatter escalates Microsoft is set to unveil a cut-down version of its Xbox console at this year's E3 event in the US, according to numerous well placed...

I'm trying to decide what to do. I'm leaning toward the double dip because I bought SOL after it was made a greatest hit AND was on sale at circuit city for $16.99. I can sell it back to EBGames for $5. It looks like Substance will street for $39.99, so after all is said and done, the game...

If you liked the first one, you'll love this! Graphics were jaw dropping. Seems like it's pushing the limits of the PS2. Gameplay was in a word. Intense. From the moment you take control of Jehuty, you are inundated with hundreds (that's right I said HUNDREDS) of targets and frames to engage...

What gameplay characteristics classify a game as an RPG? I understand about the non-video game RPG's like D&D, but I sort of thought all video games were at least quasi-RPG in nature, given that you are assuming a character and taking that character through multiple levels etc. I'm new to...

I played the demo of this game and it didn't really blow my skirt up if you know what I mean. The driving part was pretty cool, and more realistic than GTA. The main problem I had was with the on foot portion. The character's movement seemed a little funky and the whole leaning against a...

I rented a PS2 for the week and got GTA III, and I've entered the flying car cheat but have not saved the game (I have no memory card). Am I screwed?? I don't want the cars to fly for the rest of the game and I just snagged two BP Cheetas!!!! Thanks. Jeff.

I've never seen MR, does the plot tie in with the Scorpion King? What do I need to know???

It's been down for a while, and I'm itching to get that cool cover for The Game. Is Matt DeVillier around??? A little info would be great!

I am interested in getting one of these, but I have some questions. 1. Is it possible to copy the video from the digital tapes onto your computer and then burn it onto VCD or DVD??? 2. If the answer to the above is yes, how does the conversion affect the picture quality and sound quality...

I want to see this but I don't want to spend an hour downloading it and only be able to watch it once. I've read the other threads, I've made sure my QT browser plug-in is checked to save movies in cache, and I've tried to search temp files to save QT files and it hasn't worked. I had to find...

After I read on the bits that the Tarzan CE was going on moratorium on 1/31, I thought it was time to bite the bullet and replace my standard edition. Well now that I did, it seems like the audio mix is different. Can anyone confirm this. I distinctly remember the surrounds being more...

I went there to buy a double alpha case and they wanted $4.99 to ship it?!!!! WTF Is this typical? It seems silly to pay $6 when all I need is one case. Do any B & M stores sell double alphas?? I called around to a few of my local CD/DVD exchage stores and none of them sell replacement...

I personally dislike the double amaray cases like the ones for Gladiator, Cast Away, and now TPM. Is anyone working on box art that has a thicker spine section so as to fit in a double alpha case?? Something with the original poster art maybe (hint,hint). Please help. ------------------...

I have an opportunity to upgrade my current (POS DD only) receiver, with one of the two receivers below. I can get them for cost. Which one do you guys think I should get. 1. Onkyo TX-DS494 2. Kenwood VR-507 The main reason I chose these 2 models was that I could upgrade to dts...

This unit has been used for about 6 months and is in perfect working order. It has tons of memory and is an all around great remote. I am selling it because I recently upgraded to the HTM MX-500. I have the original box and all the manuals and I will include the original receipt because I...
