    "Super Size Me" 2 Versions???

    I know I'm bumping an extremely old thread but I just came across a version completely different than my DVD version. The end update clips is where the 2 versions vary the most. Here's some screenshots along with the two different endings...

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I've never heard or could afford a Dolby Atmos setup so I could'nt say what my ideal setup would be, but I'd love to know!

    Head units with high capacity SD card readers

    I just installed the Blaupunkt St Louis model today. So far it's close to perfect. The display and file browsing is excellent. I connected a 20GB USB powered drive to the back of the head unit that I put away in my glove compt. The drive loads very quick and it doesnt even take a second when...

    Head units with high capacity SD card readers

    Blaupunkt makes a whole line of usb receivers for the US. The St Louis and Hamburg models are especially nice. I was going to buy one on Crutchfield but the rep said they arent out yet. http://www.blaupunkt.com/us/car_radios_41.asp

    Head units with high capacity SD card readers

    blaupunkt makes alot of them..heres one that looks good http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/queens.asp looks like they are only made overseas though. You can buy this head unit with a 40gb usb drive. Are the connections compatible (power, remote, etc.) with cars in the U.S.?

    Head units with high capacity SD card readers

    So basically the only way to figure out what the head units limits are is to bring the USB drive to the store and test it out then? Id get a HU with a USB input on the back of the head unit so i couldnt even do that.

    Head units with high capacity SD card readers

    id like to try that myself. I you talking about a normal hard drive or something like a USB flash drive because i didnt think they made flash drives over 2GB. If it is a regular hard drive, wouldnt it skip and damage the drive when going over bumps? Also, how would you connect it to power it up?

    Need opinions please

    I chose the Philips brand because it seemed like a great deal. Like I said...it states 250w pr ch amd it's under $200. Not really worried about the a mount of money I'll get on ebay really. Anyway ..."25 wpc"??? How can they advertise 250 if its only really 25?

    Head Units with built in hard drives

    Im looking for in dash head units with built in hard drives. The Sony and Pioneer units are pretty much what I'm looking for, but with a bigger hard drive. The Alpine HDA-5460 is the closest I;ve found to what I need, but it has no built in tuner. Anyones have any suggestions?
