You might also want to take a look at the new Samsung LED DLP's - no bulb to change. I believe they're about as much as the XXA2020's.

The XR55 is a great receiver, especially for the price. If you have a Fry's near you they were clearing out the silver XR57's (basically a XR55 with a HDMI input) for ~$170 a couple weeks ago if you can still find one. Here's a really long thread on the XR55...

Not B&M, but free shipping, no tax, and $179.99: http://www.valueelectronics.com/Xbox%20360%20HD%20DVD%20player%20and%20console.htm I ordered a toshiba hd-dvd player from them and had no problems.

If you're looking for the best quality look at the Oppo 971H or the Panasonic S77. I have a Panasonic S77 and the picture it outputs from dvds is much better IMO than the one from my Xbox 360. Note that Oppo is going to release a new player that will upconvert to 1080p by the end of this year...

I have a Roth IRA with ScottTrade. Most of my stock is in SPY which tracks the S&P 500. The only thing I don't like about ScottTrade is that there is no way to transfer funds online to your account on it. They used to use eCheck for this, but eCheck was compromised last year so they dropped...

You can set in the options whether the low end goes to the subwoofer or not.

Hmm, audio is very subjective but I don't find the XR55 to sound shallow at all. Are you sure you didn't have the speakers set to "small"? I listen to mostly music (probably 75% music 25% movies/games) and I've been very happy with the XR55. My previous amp was a Jolida integrated tube...

Some HK movies I like: The Killer Hard Boiled Swordsman 1 & 2 A Chinese Ghost Story Once Upon a Time in China God of Gamblers Iron Monkey God of Cookery

I would go for a DLP set. Plasma sets suffer from burn-in and also the picture gets dimmer with use. Burn-in is not a myth. While newer sets do a better job of preventing it, it is still possible to get burn-in on a plasma set. By the nature of their technology LCDs and DLPs don't suffer from...

CRT projection TV's can suffer from burn-in, but LCD and DLP projection sets are pretty much immune to burn-in.

It's from Penny Arcade

Since you entered your ebay username and password on the page the link sent you to, I think you should go to ebay and change your password in case they try to take over your account. I received some of these emails before, and in these emails the text of the link doesn't match the address it...

Some of these have been mentioned already: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons The Sandman by Neil Gaiman The Invisibles by Grant Morrison The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill

I'd get a rear projection DLP instead of a Plasma. The picture is excellent on the Samsung DLP models that I've looked at and they don't suffer from burn-in.

Spider-man 2's a great game! It's fun to just swing around the city. I think I'll pick up Psi-Ops too. It's $19.99 at Bay Area Frys as well.

Actually, you are supposed to pay a use tax anyway on your out of state purchases that you did not pay tax for. This should be reported on your annual tax returns. I'm pretty sure very few people actually do this though.

For under $25 with a headband I would recommend the Koss SportaPro. It has great bass response and sound quality for the price. Like all Koss phones it also has a lifetime warranty, so if they break you can send them back to koss with $6 for shipping and get a new pair. I have a PortaPro, which...
