    Will studios drop the ball?

    I think many of us would agree despite our biases that movie studios have done a piss-poor job of content delivery. Whether you are in the BD camp or the HD DVD camp, it seems every 'flood' release date we get bombarded with lame transfers of older films, and otherwise films that don't really...

    Two TV2's?

    I'd like to add another television to my house, and assuming the coax outputs I have in my other room are part of the same 'circuit' is it possible to have it play the same content off of TV2? Is it just a matter of going to the right channel, or do I need a small piece of hardware that will...

    622 Interface Clunky

    For those of us familiar with Tivo or ReplayTV, the 622 interface is extremely clunky and unintuitive. Anyone know any workarounds? These are the things that annoy me: -Random shows that I did not schedule sometimes record. I am the only one who schedules recordings in my house...

    Would a complete transition to MPEG-4...

    provide more room for lots more HD channels? I know not a lot of people would be happy about having to change their receivers, but it would be cool to see how many more channels we could get if we ditched the MPEG-2 standard to a more bandwidth-friendly solution.

    PS3 and Wii Launch titles average rating the same

    I am prepared to be flamed for basing my ratings stats off of IGN, but of all the titles reviewed for both systems, the average overall game ratings came out damn near equal. ps3 launch titles = avg. 7.8 (7.78...) wii launch titles = avg. 7.8 (7.84...) It should be noted that 11 titles were...

    Wii DVD playback should have been a no-brainer

    We all know that Wii can read DVD discs, and has a capable graphics card and processor. What is puzzling is why there are reports that they will add DVD playback functionality in 2007 units as opposed to now by just making a software decoder. It will probably be a software solution anyway, so...

    Xbox360 - How the HD disc format war could be irrelevant

    Let's explore, for now, just the segment of market we would consider to be the "overlap" in the consumer electronics industry- a consumer with an interest in both high definition gaming and movies (and perhaps music). It's obvious Microsoft is attempting to follow the Sony (game console capable...
