I need to buy Pioneer BDP-HD1 and BDP-94HD Blu-ray players. If you have one you would like to sell, I can offer you $700.

I'm late to the PS2 party, but was gifted a console a week ago as a PS3 hand-me-down. I gave it to my 10yr old son, and now I need to pick him up some games. I got him the first Sly Cooper and the Midway Arcade Classics, but he would like a first person shooter that can be played online...

For those interested in this excellent documentary, please be aware that there are two versions available. The theatrical version is available through traditional outlets, while an edited version is available from Mormon bookstores. A few swear words have been excised. If you typically do...

After $1200 in repairs in the last 4 months, and probably twice that in the last 2 years, my wife has finally put her foot down and demanded that I get rid of my Passat. Having never sold/donated/blown-up a care before, I'd like to get some feedback from the auto experts in the forum. It's a...

Yesterday I went to get some cash from the ATM, and I was denied. Sure enough, when I checked my account, there were withdrawls each day for the last four days for $400 (the maximum cash withdrawl amount, plus a few bucks for using an out-of-network machine). It drained my main account, and some...

We are looking to replace an older Fuji camera, and my wife loves a friend's Canon Powershot S400, which I believe is last year's model. A refurbished one is here: http://www.refurbdepot.com/productde...rerid=dealtime She likes the size and image quality of the pictures. Is the Canon...

I've been using a trial copy of Symantec Personal Firewall and Anti virus that came with my router, and my computer takes forever to load and shut down now. Plus I see all sorts of Symantec stuff running in the background. What are the recommended alternatives on both fronts? Of course Zone...

If you could PM or email me, that would be great. Thanks.

I've been out of the loop for a while, and I need an additional receiver to my DA4ES. Of the currently available Sony's (or easily available used), which is the receiver of choice; something comparable or better than the DA4ES, costing less than $1K if possible. I also prefer black, if...

I'm a rather limited gamer, with my experience limited to countless hours of just a few games (Warcraft II, Starcraft, Half Life/Counterstrike). I've got a Compaq 1Ghz laptop, with 384 megs of RAM but no 3D chip. I will soon be taking a 20 hour plane trip! The plane has a laptop power jack...

Two years ago, some people listed their favorite reads: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=84096 I've read a bunch of those, and now I'm looking for some other recommendations. Fiction or non-fiction, what do you recommend?

Well, I've got some long plane trips coming up, and I think I may have to invest in some noise cancelling headphones. I've obviously heard about the Bose for $300, but I'm curious if anyone has other recommendations.

I'm looking for a good place online where I can pick the parts I want in a computer, and they put it together and ship it to me. Are there stores like this? I don't want a Dell or Compaq pre-built one, and I'll install all the software myself. I just don't have the time to put the pieces...

Well, I need to get a laptop for use at work, but all I'm seeing in the stores are XP Home laptops. Is there a good place to get a laptop with XP Pro, or should I just buy an empty laptop and get XP Pro OEM from New Egg? Never bought a laptop before, so I'm not sure the best way to go.

I'm going to upgrade my processor, and I need a motherboard recommendation. I don't need SATA, RAID, onboard video, sound, or firewire. Heck, I don't even need onboard LAN, but that would probably be nice. I just want the best performance and rock solid stability. I don't even overclock...

Someone donated a PS 1 to my son, and now I'm going to try and find him some games. Frankly, I was never into PS1, and I'm a little overwhelmed! Which are the absolute best games for kids? He's pretty good at Mario type side scrolling games. I would also be interested in multiplayer...

I'm trying to get my PC to be a little less loud, and the first thing I'll do is get new fans for the CPU and case. What is the best fan for the job? It seems panaflo's have a good rep. Any other recommendations?

My family wants to buy my dad a set-top DVD recorder for Christmas. It doesn't have to be too fancy; it will just be used to transfer VHS to DVD. Are there any good bargains to be had that anyone is aware of?

I'm in the market for a new receiver, and I'd like one that has a good readout describing the digital audio format. Specifically, I'd like to see format (DD, PCM, or DTS), and channel configuration (2.0 stereo, 2.0 surround, 4.1, 5.1, 5.1 EX, etc.). I know Sony receivers have a pretty good...

I've got a simple small business network up and running, but I need to add a server with PHP/MySQL/Apache to run a little database we use, and it's outside of my expertise. Is there a good place on the internet to find an amatuer network guy that could come in for a morning and set this up for...

What's the best way to find someone proficient in HTML (and possibly Access database design) to design some forms and reports (and possibly a small database) for my small business? I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars just to post on dice.com or the other IT job sites. I imagine there are...

I'm looking to buy DVD players, especially the more popular older models. I'll be using these to test new DVD titles to make sure they play on the older machines. If you have an old DVD player and were thinking of upgrading, I'd like to buy your player, or trade it for a new, current model...

Yes, get paid to watch DVD's... We're looking for people interested in working full or part time as DVD testers. The job would include watching DVD's, and navigating the menus. We schedule days, evenings or weekends, with lots of flexibility. All testing is done at our facility in the...

It seems most pan&scan videos carry this card. Is it also found on pan&scan DVD's? I thought I had heard about this card being a requirement as part of an agreement with directors or cinematographers or something. Does anyone have any history on this?

I work at a computer 9-10 hrs a day, and then go home and fool around on my computer at home for the evening, and now I think I'm getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or some kind of repetetive stress injury. Basically, my hands and forearms are starting to hurt. I've tried to make my setup as...

Even if you're not interested, this is the most hilarious demo I've ever seen. I think the product, MovieMask, has been discussed here before. Basically, it allows you download custom graphic overlays to cover up the "naughty bits" in films. Everyone knows how they feel about this, so let's...

I'm looking for a high quality Home Theater controller that can switch between 8 video sources, with provsion for at least 2 component and 4 S-VHS (and 2 composite). It must also do DD and DTS, and have a 5.1 analog input. Are there any out there? The most I've seen are 7.

If you have seen the movie, do not miss this show. It will answer many questions you may have had. If you haven't seen the movie, I would tape the show. Since the movie is so faithful to real life events, a lot of the suspense will be missing if you already know what happens. But don't...
