HERE TO HELP YOU!
Finally got a chance to check out some 3D sets yesterday and today. The first one I saw, yesterday, was a Samsung. I cam away feeling less than impressed, and honestly with a slight headache. Being my first experience with 3D, I felt as many here felt. It is a fad that will fade out again, and nothing I would consider as a plus when upgrading.
Well, this morning, the wife and I were killing time and had to run by Best Buy again (different store though). We went by the TVs (like I always do) and they had two sets set up. The samsung like I had seen at the other Best Buy, and a Panasonic. I figured I would check out the Panny, and I have to say....WOW. I was really, really impressed. I am not sure what the difference is in methods that the two use, or if the sammy was simply not set up right at the other store, but it was night and day.
They had several clips playing, one of the grand canyon which was spectacular, and the one that really got my attention, white water rafting. I swear when the boat splashed down, and the water sprayed back it literally looked like the water was hitting the glasses I had on.
I have to say, the second experience changed my opinion on 3D and the sets in general. Now I do consider it to be a plus if I upgrade later.
I still wont just go out and buy one, I have bought two sets in the last year and a half already, and probably wouldnt want to watch everything in 3d (even if it were an option), but for some content (movies and sports) it would seem, from my limited exposure, to be a huge draw.

Got it...
That is possible. It was Best Buy after all.
Next time I am back, I will look again to give it a fair comparison if that was the case.

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
