    Difference between JVC's HD-61FN97 and HD-61FH97

    I just purchased the HD-61FN97 for the amazing price of $1497 from BeachCamera.com. I'd been reading about it, and for that price, it was an easy decision. No sooner had I finished my order, I noticed on that retailer's website that they have the HD-61FH97 for $100 more. Reading through...

    DENON AVR-4306 vs YAMAHA RX-V2600

    I'm up against a buying decision. I've placed an order with Crutchfield for the DENON model, but the Yamaha looks great also. http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/r...rs/RXV2600.htm http://www.crutchfield.com/S-fPyO6yp...0&I=033AV4306B The main differences (that I care about at all) seem...

    Yamaha RX-V2600 Receiver with HD Upconverting via HDMI

    Yamaha has just announced a new receiver that has the exact featureset I'm looking for, at a price I can afford. Ever since seeing the new receiver offerings from DENON that include HDMI switching, I've been patiently waiting for the competition to begin. This new Yamaha not only switches...

    DirecTV - how do they install it?

    I'm going to be moving into a new house this weekend, and I'll be getting DirecTV installed. I'll be getting at least one HD-DVR. Before I give this the green light, I want to be sure that the installer knows how to utilize the On-Q Distribution Center that I had installed with the house...

    Anyone using Outlaw Audio 990/7125 combo?

    Until very recently, I'd never considered using separates. I always thought they'd be way outside my budget. After taking a look at OutlawAudio.com I guess I've been wrong. Anyway, I've been bitten by the upgrade bug and I'm working with a budget of up to $2000. I'm looking for at least 110...

    ESPN NBA Basketball (2K4)

    Are there any NBA fans out there that are going to pick this one up? Anyone? Does anybody know if it's 720p? (That doesn't matter to me, I'll get it anyway!)

    Get your Game Face (TM) On...Tiger Woods 2004

    It's Spooky...I can see myself on TV! Now, common gamers like us get to experience what was once reserved for Celebrities only...having our own likeness in a video game. With EA's new "Game Face" mode, create-a-player mode is taken well beyond the next level. You can construct a face and...

    Jedi Academy anyone?

    Anyone have this? I think it came out today. IGN gives it an 8.8, I believe. I'm thinking of waiting for XBox, but ever since moving my PC to my living room (connected to my new TV), I'm increasingly interested in checking out the PC version.

    Yet another JBL PB12 problem (noise when going into/out of standby)

    I've had the JBL PB12 for about 18 months, and have had to get the amp replaced (under warranty, no problem) at 12 months because of the horrible "rumbling sound" problem. About 4 months after the repair, the sub seems to go in and out of standby VERY frequenly when the receiver is at low...

    A new widescreen TV coming, what to play first?

    I need some recommendations... I'm receiving delivery of a new 61" DLP television on Saturday and I need to get opinions on the best looking games to demo it for my wife. I have PS2, GC, and XBox. BTW, honestly...if I have a good de-interlacer on my TV, is a 480p connection really...

    DLP, CRT, LCD RPTV's...

    [SIZE=2]Can anyone point me in the direction of a resource that compares and contrasts the different types of RPTV technology...like CRT, LCD, and DLP. I am starting the preliminary preparations on looking to upgrade to a 55"-65" widescreen HDTV. I've seen that the price range is pretty wide...

    The Big Debate: Madden 2004 or Sega's ESPN Football 2004?

    I've been a Sega Football Fan since NFL2K. I got Madden in 2002 and loved it, but went back to Sega with 2K3 on the XBox. I'm probably going to go with Madden this year, but I haven't totally made up my mind. And no, I won't consider getting both....unless I got Madden for Ps2 and ESPN...

    Outlaw Volleyball = FUN!

    There was another thread going earlier, but for those who wanted to wait for the reviews of Outlaw Volleyball, let me chime in and give my opinion that it is one fantastic game, especially with friends. Graphics. Not just the ...ahem... "well animated" character models. The animations are...

    Who's got Advance Wars 2?

    Haven't picked this one up yet, mainly because I've not finished the original. Any impressions? All the reviews I've read have been positive. I love my GBA.

    A comprehensive list of games released in the last 25 years

    Does anyone know where I could find a list of games released in the last 25 years, for any platform? I have decided to create a list of all the games I remember owning, but I'll need to see a list to remind myself. I never really have been a collector, I've always traded games in when I...

    Can you use Headphones with the GBA SP?

    OK, maybe I'm nuts, but it doesn't look like you can use headphones with the GBA SP? What am I missing?

    Please recommend <=$100 worth of GBA games...

    I am going on a trip this coming weekend, and will have tons of free time on my hands. That being the case, I am seriously considering getting a GBA SP (if I can find one!) I've not played ANY (that's correct, not a single one) games on a Nintendo handheld (except Tetris on the original...

    Advice for Online Newbies in RTCW

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I have RTCW, but I've not played online yet. Er, I mean I haven't "played" online yet. I got into one game, and had no friggin clue what I was doing. I died a few times, mostly from my teammates shooting me, and I never figured out where I was versus where the opposing...

    What's the point of the "checklist" on XBOX game cases?

    I'm talking about the checklist that has things like "XBox Live Compatible", "HDTV-480p", "In-Game Dolby Digital". You know what I mean - these stupid things are always wrong. C'Mon Microsoft, get it together. Oh, I heard a good one the other day (related to another game...)-...

    Good Up-To-Date PSO resource (XBox)

    Any places online have a good resource for PSO? I've seen a couple of sites, but most (not all) is all for the DC version, and if anything's different on the XBOX, (like items, quests, weapons, etc) I want to know about it. Heck, maybe we could just post here... What are some of the best...

    PSO - XBox Live: Blown out of proportion?

    One thing I repeatedly read and hear is that people who talk about PSO seem to complain that an XBox Live subscription and a monthly fee is required to play Phantasy Star Online. While I can understand being a little disappointed, for the life of me I can't figure out why these things come as...

    Give Sega Soccer Slam a try (XBox)

    If you're looking for NFL-Bliz-ish fun on the soccer field, turn to Sega Soccer Slam for the XBox. A little more Arcad-ey than Midway's Red Card Soccer, it is a fun alternative to the sim-heavy games like Winning Eleven Six and FIFA. I picked it up at Target for the "Oh, why the heck not"...

    Any buzz around here about Def Jam Vendetta?

    I know we're all feverishly working our way through LOZ:WW right now, but is there anyone here who plans on picking up Def Jam Vendetta for PS2 or GC?

    Experience with MLB Slugfest 20-04

    I just picked up SlugFest 20-04, having really liked last year's version, but trading it in after baseball season was over. I've always liked my baseball games fun, and this one looks to have everything I like, and not all the stuff that I don't care about. Anyone have it, and care to...

    Anyone looking forward to Tenchu 3?

    I have read very little about this game online. What does everyone think? It's on my my "must buy" list right now, unless I hear otherwise.

    Can someone recommend a...erm....<i>bowling</i> game?

    On any system? I'm looking for a friend. I used to have Brunswick Pro Circuit Bowling for PSX, and I liked it. Anyone tried Ten Pin Alley, or the one with the Animaniacs? Edit: I guess there's no HTML tags in the titles of posts.

    Is ESPN's Ultimate X Full Screen only?

    Title says it all. I was excited to see this title at Sam's Club, only to put it back on the shelf immediately after reading that it was "modified from its original version". Anyone know if the DVD is available in its OAR?

    Two Player split screen games

    A friend of mine recently got a new Mits. 55" widescreen HDTV, and I've spent some time at his place playing some 2 player split screen games. Our favorites are Project Gotham Racing and Deathrow, because they have a verical split screen. Rallisport Challenge, however, despite being a...

    Want a "different" racing game, recommendations, anyone?

    I don't really get into games like GT3 and Sega GT. I have NFS HP2 on my PS2 and I love it. I've previously enjoyed games like Jet Moto and Jet Moto 2 on the PS. Wipeout was pretty cool, too. I also like Rally Racing games, but sometimes find them to be really difficult, with too much locked...
