    New X-Box 360 owner. Need set up help thanks!!

    I can confirm this works. I use hdmi on my 360 and I needed the toslink connector to my av receiver. Instead of buying the MS brand hdmi cable (expensive with toslink connector), I took the plastic cover off. Now both hdmi and xbox component cable fits. To be safe I used electrical tape to cover...

    Set-top ATSC/QAM tuner

    If you want to connect old rf consoles, you could always use a vcr or settop dvd recorders. They have built in tuners. If you need a digital box, you might have to get an ota (over the air) one. I used to have a Samsung digital hdtv tuner sir-t451 back when hdtv's didn't have digital tuners...

    "Splitter" Audio Cable? - Audio Question

    I"m assuming your hdtv has an optical output? What you can do is check if the tv will pass the digital signal from the hdmi source to your stereo. So, connect the sat and 360 to hdmi. Then connect the optical cable from your hdtv to your stereo. Doesn't hurt to try and you have all the cables...

    At the Colma, California, Bestbuy they would only discount from the regular retail price. I bought a camera at bestbuy thinking I could apply the coupon but when they rang it up I noticed that they charged me regular price minus the 12% off. Not the sale price minus 12%. I went to the customer...

    Gamer's Day here in SF!!!

    Hmm...doesn't the article hint at it being a press only event. If it isn't a press only event, I hope they have a better selection of games to demo off than gamespot afterhours. They only had Full Auto 2, Gundam, and Ridge Racer 7 to show off.

    This is getting ridiculous (USPS delivery time) and a postage question

    That is incorrect. The post office might have the government support and benefits of being a governmental agency but it does not use ANY taxes from the federal government. All expenses, operating costs, etc are paid from the revenue of postage and postage-related products/services...

    I just recieved mine today. I got my cable for $22.12 and free 2 day air. They gave me $10.00 "Consumer Goodwill" off the cable price and free UPS 2 Day Air shipping. I ordered back in nov 05 and they missed the January shipment date. Nintendo's a great company.

    Surround Sound for Gamecube?

    Gamecube doesn't support DD 5.1 sound. It does use Dolby Prologic II a sort of 5.1 but not true 5.1. If your reciever supports it that's as close as you'll get to surround sound on gamecube. http://www.dolby.com/consumer/technology/prologic_II.html for more info.

    Gamecube High Definition Pack?

    Gamecube never had component inputs, it has or had (depending on the gc model) component outputs, digital port. They didn't use the the 3 rca cable for component because, Nintendo has some kinda chip on the cable they sell. If you get a component cable for the gc and open it up there's some...
