Checked on the automated online purchase, and for the same deal I would owe $200 up front! And my total bill (before taxes) was listed $5 more per month than quoted on the phone. Maybe the $5 savings came from my Dish/Windstream bundle that I have? I snapped up the 622 when it was first...

Called yesterday to Dish because I am wanting to do the same thing, have a 622 but want another HD DVR. They told me that I could sign up for a new 2 year agreement, pay NOTHING up front, and they will provide me an additional 622 with professional installation. The CSR said it was some...

In light of the recent announcements from Time Warner dropping HD-DVD and Paramount possibly having a way out of their deal they struck with HD-DVD last year, I would say go Blu-Ray. The PS3 receives a lot of good praise for its Blu-ray playback... Yes I own a PS3, first and foremost for...

I was able to get my PS3 to download on the 2nd try. It was taking so long on the PS3, I tried using the PC to download the firmware (done this in the past with much faster results). The firmware was out of date last Thursday while doing all of this. I don't know when they finally updated the...

Woohoo! This is one update that is going to be loved by all! Hmm, earlier this year wasn't there a lot of stories being told about how the PS3 didn't have the ability for upconverting? Glad that was a bunch of phooey!

Actually, I got an email from Sony and the refurb unit arrived with paperwork confirming the warranty. Unlike what is posted on the website, the warranty is only 90 days...not for 1 year. So I bought a PS3 with a 1 year warranty. 4 months later it craps out and Sony sends me a refurb...

In case noone else has heard, Halo 3 releases in the US on Sept. 25!

WOW! I'm a little shocked...just got a notice from UPS stating a 16lb box from SCEA is scheduled to arrive Friday! I thought they would at least test out my PS3, and if they did that already then they are quick...my package arrived around noon today and they are shipping out already. Its...

Enjoy the beta! Wish I could do some Halo 3, but I haven't gotten an Xbox360 yet so no joy for me. :( Will you be going for the Spartan laser ASAP? I like that missile pod launcher...lock and forget!

Have you tried using www.us.playstation.com/repairstatus.aspx for the status of your unit?

CompUSA was not my first choice, but during the PS3 drought in Nov and Dec it was my only choice. They would only sell the PS3 with the warranty. At that time, I could just walk into the store and exchange it for a new one with the warranty...I had no idea that my local store was going to...

I actually have an extended warranty. I bought my PS3 from my local CompUSA during the drought of PS3's before Christmas...and CompUSA would not sell it to me without the warranty. The price wasn't that bad for an extra 2 years of warranty, so I didn't mind. The problem is that CompUSA...

Well, after having some minor issues getting progressively worse, my PS3 has finally gotten to the unusable state. I've been having problems with data corruption from Call of Duty 3, then videos downloaded from the Playstation Store, then demos downloaded from the Playstation Store. The...

I DVR'd Lost on WSB-HD (Channel 2) Wednesday night. I started to watch the episode 10 minutes before it ended and noticed the screen was blank. I played around with it for a little while, and then went to the SD channel. The SD channel was showing the picture and sound, but the HD channel did...

If the "ring of death" problem with the 360 is truely due to poor connections made by the BGA's, then the goop should help. The problem is that the electronics industry has moved away from using lead in solder due to environmental concerns. Lead allowed solder joints to be flexible and move...

I didn't go with Laserdisc until I found a place that actually rented them. So it is the same for me with HD optical discs, only Netflix exists now. I joined Netflix after getting my PS3 mainly so that I rent HD movies. I'm not sure if this is a sign of increased demand, but every Bluray...

My PSN ID is BigWood Only have CoD3 at the moment, and will be getting Motorstorm as soon as its released (who isn't?). SpoonieLuv622, I think we traded some kills on each other during this past weekend playing CoD3 on the Poissen level, Capture the Flag!

I dropped in a local BB during my lunch break, and I found some of the games that were for 4.99 and 9.99. Nothing in this range interested me for this price. I saw the seperators that had 1.99 and 2.99 labels on them, but of course those games were long gone. This was for various titles for...

I have only the two PS3 controllers, so I can't answer your question about the Chillstream controller. The controllers only charge when the PS3 is on. You can tell when they are charging by the flashing of their controller port lights. You can hook them up to your computer, and I think they...

Problem has been found! It was the stinking router causing problems! I hooked up my old router (non-wireless) and CoD3 worked great even without port forwarding and DMZ and any other nonsense. For anyone else that is having this issue, I had problems with the Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router...

I did some research and found out that CoD3 utilizes a different networking scheme than other games. Not only does it have to connect with the Host, but with every other player as well. I found a website that suggested turning on uPnP, which my router supports but by default was disabled...

I'm having issues playing online multiplayer on Call of Duty 3 on my PS3. I've been having issues, and I thought that it was because of the PS3 transmitting wirelessly. So I've finally (after 9 years) gotten my prewired Cat 5e network in my home setup correctly with a patch panel instead of...

I've had my PS3 "lock up" rather than freeze on many instances. It usually occurs when I place a regular DVD in the PS3 and start to play it. The only fix is to flip the power switch on the back of the PS3...scary move when I remember how many Windows based computers I've seen crash after...

Fry's in Atlanta area is running a super deal on Blu-ray movies. Buy 1 get 1 free on selected movies. These are priced at $24.99 for 2 movies: Click Underworld: Evolution Monster House Silent Hill Little Man Benchwarmers These are priced at $19.99 for 2 movies: 50 First Dates...

I saw the PS3 console advertised in the multi-page Friday Fry's ad here near Atlanta. It was plastered on the top of each page if I remember correctly. That would be the first time I saw the PS3 being advertised as in house. How long does it take to have circulars printed? For Black Friday...
