    PS3 - options on replacing a dead launch era unit

    I may or may not persue repair of my launch era unit. If I do repair it I will probably use it as a media center/backup unit only. In the meantime, I still have a backlog of PS3 games and am not ready to go for a PS4, so I need a new PS3. Options 1 - buy a cheap 12gb unit from WalMart and pop...

    Need BluRay player recs...needs to stream from a WHS like Seagate FreeAgent Theatre+ does

    My folks are looking to finally buy a BR player for the living room.  In theory it will replace the DVD player and Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ and also eliminate the need for an HDMI switch. They stream a lot via Netflix on the Seagate which has worked well for them. They also do have Amazon...

And I have not done any preventive thermal upgrades to it...yet. (Though I did replace the hard drive a couple years back.) But I am...

    Shopping for a used Wii Console...places?

    A few months ago I moved 1400 miles and got rid of a bunch of stuff, including my Wii and games and accessories. I am now *missing* the Wii. I know the Wii U is coming in a few months but I'm not all that convinced about it. So I'm looking to pick up a good condition used Wii. I have never...

    Game recs for an adult? (Retired 60+)

    My mom and I got my Dad a DS last christmas with Brain Age and Sudoku. And apparently he likes it because he wants more stuff for it. He wants a Mario game and something else which my mom didn't remember. I don't typically keep up with DS games so I have no idea which Mario game to get and...

    Another GH vs. RB question - have never played either one.

    But I'm interested in picking up one of them. At this point, I'm interested in Guitar only. I don't need or want a full set (ie. drums, etc.). I will be playing solo most of the time at home, and will be at a friend's who already has RB if doing a band night. I think I read in one of the...

    Anyone have an ergonomic keyboard they like?

    I was browsing on newegg earlier today and considering picking one up but need to go try and look at one somewhere first. Probably just a curved one, not one that has a literal separation in the middle. Anyone have one they like?
