It's interesting the debate on this thread about which version to get etc. I bought the original DTS edition when it first came out. I had planned to begin a DVD collection. However I stopped after about 25 movies. Why? Simply put, I have decided to wait until High Definition DVD's arrive. Why...

Or they could have just brought Kirk back in Star Trek 8 as Shatner did in one of his books. I cannot remember the title right now but Kirk is brought back to life by the Borg after dying in Star Trek 7. Spock is involved throughout the book and the plot follows closely the story told in Star...

The 34xbr910 is clearly the best direct view ever. Not only are the reviews saying it but I'll say it based on my experience. Anyone who is making a statement of quality based on seeing ANY tv model in a Best Buy or CC etc simply has no basis for making that statement. No tv in any of those...

It's not widescreen but it looks good stretched-my friend and I play it on the full setting on his Sony 34xbr910 and it looks and plays fine. The game is terrific but also frustrating at first because it does have a steep learning curve as many reviews point out. It's tough to learn how to...

Best Buy was the most crowded store today in my part of the world as well. After looking over the Black Friday ads, it was easy to see why. They had the best deals including a 2.6 Ghz Emachines computer for $199 which may have been the best deal of the day. That is the type of deal worth getting...

The biggest problem I have with the Tiger Woods series is that it is too easy. It is a rare occasion when a drive does not go straight down the fairway. A review of this years edition found this to be the case again. The reviewer indicated he would like to see a slider instituted to make the...

My friend has a pair of Martin Logan Aerius speakers and would like to get a center channel for home theater use. He cannot afford a Martin Logan center channel. I'm wondering if anyone here has used another brand in a Martin Logan system with good results. Thanks!

I loved NHL 2K3 and planned on getting this right away. However, the game no longer features adjustable camera views. This is a necessary feature in sports videogames. I'll now be renting it to see if the defaults are playable. The exclusion of Dolby Digital is ridiculous as well. How did...

Great deal until 08/03 at EB-Buy Eternal Darkness and receive a $20 gift voucher in the mail. I bought the game yesterday getting them to match the $14.99 price at Gamestop. Now I await my $20 gift voucher. There are other gift voucher deals to be had on other games as well but this one seems to...

Question: Can you save in the co-op mode? RTCW did not allow this and as many people have stated, that was very disappointing. Hopefully this game will be different. Thanks in advance for any replies.

James, I was going to post the same thing. Even for those with Xbox live this sucks if you choose to play co-op with your friends. I played Halo co-op with a friend and we got near the end of the first level and chose to quit after a checkpoint. And you know what happened when we came back to...

Well, my friends and I played NBA Street 2 last night on both the Xbox and Playstation 2. And my decision has been made-it's the Playstation 2 version. The reason is similar to the decision I made last year to get NCAA 2003 on the PS2 instead of the Xbox. In a word, CONTROLS. The PS2 version of...

I'm trying to decide whether to get this on Xbox or PS2. I have the Innovation converter for Xbox which allows you to use PS2 controllers on the Xbox. I have used it on many games and enjoyed it(although I'm happy with the S controller for Xbox). If anyone else has the chance to try the...

I'm planning on waiting to buy a Gamecube until then. Last year all the systems lowered their prices at EEE(E3) time and expectations are high they may do so again. Of course, many people have taken advantage of the free game and bundle offers from Nintendo. I often buy used games so a price...

I have been a fan of High Heat and have played all the baseball games this year except WSB 2K3. I have heard good things about WSB 2K3 but only have the money to buy one. If I am unable to rent WSB 2K3 in the next week or so, I plan to buy High Heat. This is why renting is so important. So one...

Blockbuster and Hollywood Video had listed this title on their websites but it is not available in their stores. I have not found it for rent elsewhere either. This reminds me of the current Fifa soccer game which is not available for rent in the Rochester, NY area either. Has anyone else found...

I played this tonight with a couple of friends. We also have played HH2004 on PS2, MLB 2004, and All Star on Xbox. Next week hopefully I'll find WSB for rent. MVP has the best presentation so far, All Star the best interface and extras, MLB was solid-(989 is starting to make decent games-not the...

I checked out the Target deal on the Gamecube tonight. It is not nearly the bargain it appears to be. I have been waiting to buy a Gamecube when it's price came down to $99. The deal at Target gives you a $50 gift card when you buy a Gamecube with 2 games over $19.99. However, Target no longer...

I've now played 2 full games with 10 touchdowns scored and not one replay after a touchdown! This really hurts the overall presentation. Has anyone else noticed this and is it the same is the Playstation 2 version? I did love one thing that happened in the game however. The refs ruled I fumbled...

I've had a Yamaha 630 for a few months now and have been very pleased with it. At the price, all receivers have trade offs. In my opinion, the Yamaha has the fewest and the most performance for the bucks. The only 2 criticisms I could offer would be it could sound better with 2 channel cd and no...

John, I own the Sony 755 and yes it does have the chroma bug. If you own a copy of the Sound and Vision test disc, go to the DTS demo under the extras section. When in progressive mode the bug is clearly visible. However when I run the 755 into my Sony 32hv600 in interlaced mode using the...

I checked this player out a couple of days ago looking for the chroma bug. It was not evident on the panic button from The Fifth Element but was very evident on the menu from Toy Story. I was hoping this player would be the one for me-SACD etc. However, I now will be deciding among the Panny 82...

Update-NCAA Football 2003 for the XBOX does have very good DD sound and includes the use of the center channel(hurrah!). The game also looks appreciably better in widescreen mode.

I brought home NCAA Football 2003 for the Xbox today. I loved last years game. I was hoping I would have the same reaction today. I'm not there yet but I'll be giving it some time. Under controller setup 2 settings are listed. One is Default and the other is Alternate. Does anyone know if the...

I'm planning on picking up EA's NCAA Football 2003-does anyone who has it yet know if the center channel is used in Dolby Digital. If not, I may have to use Dolby Pro Logic II. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick replies guys and Adam thanks for the links to the threads discussing this issue. Nice to know my Xbox is working fine. Hope the game developers read forums such as these and improve their use of Dolby Digital.

I just purchased an Xbox and hooked it up to my HDTV and Dolby Digital receiver. When watching movies with Dolby Digital the center channel is used for dialog etc and I was expecting the same on Xbox games. However it appears this is not the case(at least in some games). I'm wondering if my Xbox...
