    Blu Ray Release/Discussion Thread

    WTF are you talking about? 1080i has exactly the same amount of picture information that 1080p does for film-based content, and it's fucking breathtaking on even a halfway-decent transfer. Comparing a good BD to a good DVD is like comparing DVD to VHS SP. There's absolutely no contest. And...

    If you could have any video game system and its entire library...

    SNES, no question. FF II and III, along with Super Mario Kart--those three games alone could keep me busy for a year. And then there's the rest of the library.....

    Microsoft's Greenberg Slams Sony's Promises

    I really don't think that's it. I have 3 PS3s, and while I almost never play them either (I only own one game, which I didn't pay for), they're running balls-out 24/7, contributing to Folding@Home (probably around 1500 work units between the 3 of them). I haven't had the slightest problem with...

    So which version/console did you buy GTA4 for?

    I bought the higher-resolution version that lets me use a superior controller to play against my friends....in other words, the 360 regular ed. :)

    PS3 101: New user's guide to the PS3 (ask questions here -- TMK is on duty)

    Just be aware that any game that does NOT explicitly support 1080i/p (which would be the majority of them) will display in 480p as long as this setting is enabled.

    Watching "Standard" DVD's on an Xbox 360 w/ HDTV image stretched

    It's probably your TV. It's set to "Full" "Zoom" "Stretch" or "Fill" when it should be set to "Normal" or "Standard".

    As inputs yes. And they all do. Nobody's arguing that, except you apparently. ATSC says nothing about what happens to the little electrons once they get inside the magic box. Just that 18 resolutions have to be accepted at input, and at least one of them has to output with 1035, 1080, or...

    PS3 101: New user's guide to the PS3 (ask questions here -- TMK is on duty)

    port forwarding puts the specific machine and application at some risk, in exchange for access. Usually there are other safeguards in place (PSP registration for remote play, password for windows access). There is no direct threat to other devices because of a PF setup. However, if the end...

    PS3 101: New user's guide to the PS3 (ask questions here -- TMK is on duty)

    The best way is to look in your router's manual. If you don't have it handy, you can find it on netgear's site. The port for remote desktop is UDP 3389, but I HIGHLY recommend you do not forward it, as that essentially puts your machine directly on the internet for remote control. Anyone who...

    Purchase PS1 titles from UK store via US?

    Credit cards will automatically convert currency for you, based on the day's exchange rate. Most companies now charge for this (it was free the last time I did it), but they pretty much all offer it.

    PS3 101: New user's guide to the PS3 (ask questions here -- TMK is on duty)

    You need to enable port forwarding. Specifically, you need to forward TCP 9293 to your PS3's IP address, which should either be set statically, or via a DHCP reservation in your router (so it always gets the same address). You I can't help, unfortunately. I'm an expert in networking, but not...
