    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    I received my bluetooth to IR converter in the mail yesterday when I got home. I installed it in about a minute and my Harmony can now control the PS3 fully. Thank god :) The controller now stays by the PS3 only to be used for games.

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    It functions as a remote control but it is hardly ideal. The best bet I think is to simply purchase an IR to BT converter and use your universal remote to control the DVD player. You can get the converter for roughly the same price as the Bluetooth PS3 remote. Here is the one I purchased (I...

    ok this sounds exactly like what happened to me. I will shut off the controller from now on. Thank you! As a side note, is it harmful to leave the PS3 always on?

    The "wow" factor..Will it happen again, even if muted?

    Back in 1999, I purchased the wonderful (at its time) Toshiba TW56X81 rear projection 56" wide screen TV and also purchased a progressive scan DVD player to pair with it. Even before any run time or calibration, there was a large "wow" factor for me when I plugged in The Matrix in how much...

    Thinking of making the jump to Blu Ray but have question

    Not a big issue for me. There is no way my ears could ever tell the difference between DTS and dolby true HD. My eyes are good but my ears suck.

    Thinking of making the jump to Blu Ray but have question

    Thanks Dan. That is a good hint about keeping the cables the same length. Can I ask which Blu Ray player you purchased?

    Thinking of making the jump to Blu Ray but have question

    awesome! I was looking into this Blu Ray player. It looks like it should output audio on HDMI and the optical at the same time. I just hope there is no lip sync issues. Sony Blu Ray Player

    Babylon 5: The Lost Tales

    While this is true about the box office, it is certainly not true about the rental side of the business. Terminator was one of the largest successes on VHS. While people missed the movie in the theaters, it was later watched by many many many more people on video, much the same way Austin...

    Babylon 5: The Lost Tales

    Which is roughly the beginning of Season 5 which was 2261? And Crusade started in ~2267? And speaking of Crusade, was there a passing reference to the plague on Earth? Thanks

    Babylon 5: The Lost Tales

    Can someone set the exact time frame of these stories in the B5 Universe in terms of both end of Season 5 and Crusade? I have read three different time frames in this thread about the Sheridan-Galen tale and I am getting confused.

    I am probably not the only one, but if they have the ability to finish off the Crusade story line to some degree, I will immediately purchase the Crusade DVD set.

    I know they plan to handle the G'Kar and Franklin deaths some how in lost tales in a delicate way. Does anyone know if or how they intend to acknowledge Crusade, especially with Galen in this new DVD?

    Where the frak is GALACTICA S3?

    Before Season 3 started, their were a series of ten short clips (about a 2-3 minutes each) that helped bridge the end of season 2.5 to the beginning of season 3 that were shown on scifi.com. Does anyone know if or think these will be included in the season 3 set?
