    I'll be buying a HDTV soon, and I need some help.

    HELL NO. I'm happy with the TV as it is right now. Every single game and DVD I've played on it looks great, and Blu Rays look fantastic. I don't even watch TV anyways, so HD channels don't mean much to me. I am NOT... repeat... NOT paying double the price for a difference I truly can not...

    I'll be buying a HDTV soon, and I need some help.

    In case you guys were wondering how everything turned out, I bought the TV on Tuesday.... And it's GREAT!!!! I watched The Matrix on it, played a little bit of Heavenly Sword, and streamed some of Terminator 2 through Netflix on my 360. Everything looked and sounded AWESOME. The...

    I'll be buying a HDTV soon, and I need some help.

    To be honest, I'm going to be MOSTLY playing games on the TV. Seeing as how most games are native 720, it seems like I should be able to get away with the lower resolution just fine. And I'll admittedly be watching more standard DVDs over Blu Rays, as they're cheaper, more abundant, and just...

    I'll be buying a HDTV soon, and I need some help.

    Okay, I'll come right out and say it: I'm a noob. When it comes to high definition televisions, I am the noobiest noob who's ever noobed. I'm trying to decide what's the best possible TV for my situation. I've got my eyes on a 42" 720p LG. This TV will be going in my bedroom. I will use it...

    Cheap HDMI cables: Yes or No?

    I am soon upgrading to an HDTV, and I am wanting to get a pair of HDMI cables for my PS3 and 360. I've found some SUPER good deals on Amazon, where I can basically buy a brand new HDMI cable for $2.75 with free shipping. To me, that sounds like something that I simply CANNOT pass up. The only...

    Can I stand it up without fear?

    Yeah, I found that out when I had all three hooked up and wasn't getting ANY audio. So now I have to unplug my PS3 whenever I wanna play my 360, and so forth. It's kind of inconvenient, but the picture on all three of my systems looks SOOOO much better now.

    Does anyone have a spare transfer kit?

    Thanks thamaster. I appreciate your response. As it turns out, I recently just buckled down and did it the old fashioned way, with a 512 MB memory card, my 200 MBs of internal memory, and a WHOLE LOT of re-downloading. It took me three days, but I finally got it all done. Those Rock Band 1...

    Can I stand it up without fear?

    I recently bought a three-way component cable that plugs into my PS3, 360, and Wii simultaneously. The only problem, though, is that in order to make it fit, either the PS3 or the 360 has to be standing up. I really do NOT want to stand the 360 up, so I was wondering: Is it okay to stand the...

    Does anyone have a spare transfer kit?

    I recently bought a bigger hard drive for my 360, and I need the transfer cable and disc to move my data and saves over. I know I can buy one from Microsoft, but I REALLY don't feel like spending $15 bucks on something that I'm only gonna use once. Does anyone have one they're not using...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    Just here to update you guys: My PS3 finally came in today. It looks and works GREAT. Other than a few VERY, VERY light scratches on the top, it looks like a brand new system. It's almost as if it's never been turned on before. All three of the games that came with it, other than some...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    I did take a look at Craigslist first. I got excited when I saw a whole bunch of REALLY good deals there. Then my excitement waned after I called every person and found out they had all already been sold. Yep. Every. One.

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    Hmm... Good idea. Anyone know of a good compatible 300-500 GB drive for relatively cheap?

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    ^ Nah, I'm probably not gonna sell this PS3 after all. I'll just buy a 120GB hard drive and install it myself. I know you can pick one of those up for pretty cheap anyways.

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    Yeah, I'm usually pretty docile myself. I've gone this long without a PS3, even though there were quite a few exclusive games that I REALLY wanted to play on it. However, I got my refund check early, and then I find out GoW3 is right around the corner.......well, the rest you can pretty much...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    ........Dammit. I should've ordered from GameStop. :bomb: *sighs* Patience has NEVER been my strong point. It's that damned GoW3 that's got me in a fever pitch, I tell you!!! Oh well. At least I've got three games and an extra controller which are worth around $75 bucks, give or take. That...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    How long ago did you order it, just out of curiosity?

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    It's just I've heard some horror stories about the fat model, like YLOD, DREs, and overheating. Plus, the 120GB hard drive would be nice, although I know I can just switch it out for my own. Considering that FFXIII is a 36 gigabyte install, that instantly takes out half my hard drive. At this...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    One last question, and then I SWEAR I'll leave you guys alone. If I decide to buy a 1-year warranty from SquareTrade, should I buy it now, or wait until the system gets to my house? Or do I even have that option? Right now, if I use a coupon, I can get a 1-year warranty $38.39. I don't mind...

    I just bought a used PS3 on eBay.

    That's actually a pretty good idea. I know that GameStop has them on a serious backorder, but seeing as how the older one's already coming in, I can afford to wait. I've thought about the matter a bit more, and I've decided just to wait until the one I bought actually comes in. As long as it...
