    Is there any way to save DVR files?

    I just entered the DVR scene (Time Warner Cable, fyi) after getting my HDTV and so far I'm loving everything except how quickly the damn box gets filled with HD content. So far I've had the box for two weeks and I've already had to delete content because it's filled up. Is there anyway for me to...

    Geometry Wars: Galaxies Control Question

    I've read in numerous reviews (namely IGN's and 1Up's) that Geometry Wars supports and plays better with the classic controller. But neither site has mentioned whether or not you can use the original gamecube controller as an option. I'd hate to have to shell over an extra $20 to have what many...

    Is there REALLY no way for Sony to add BC to the 40GB PS3?

    I'm tempted to get the 40GB PS3 but, like many people, I'm dissuaded by the lack of backwards compatibility with PS2. Here's where I get confused though: If the 80GB PS3 uses software emulation BC and not hardware BC, would it be potentially possible for Sony to add software BC through a...

    How would you rate the PS3 as an entertainment hub? Better or worst than 360?

    I'm still on the fence about either getting a 360 or PS3. The fact is, I know I'm eventually going to buy a PS3 to use as a blu-ray player but I'm enticed by what I've heard about the 360 as a media hub. Is the PS3 good as a streaming media center? Will I be able to stream my movies (HD and...
