Nice point everyone. I think I'll hold off and save my money for a PS3 this coming November instead. [

Yamaha is coming up with new models for the RXV series (ipod compatible with optional docking station) next month. I think it's time for an upgrade. [

The Philips component switch didn't work out for me so I returned it. I
keep on losing signals for some reason with the display sometimes
showing washed out colors. Might be a faulty port or something.
Kept on looking for an alternative and decided to get a "powered" switcher instead. I got this unit
and it was an excellent buy imo. No lose signals at all. My Sony Bravia
HDTV unit tells me the signal input I'm getting whether it's 1080i (HD
Cable box) or 480P (progessive scan DVD player).
I got it for $56 free shipping from Buy.com. Just $6 over my budget - hehe.

I was looking around and found this (Philips HD Component Switch).
The RAM one does not have an audio input so I figured I'll gonna give
this one a try first and see if there's no signal lost. Picked up one
at my local Walmart this afternoon.

Excellent!!!! Thanks
-
Yup I checked parts express already but the one that they have cost
$182. I didn't see any "Niles" brand when I did a search. Thanks
-
Any recommendation for an INEXPENSIVE component switch? Basically
looking at the price range of around $50. I really don't need a high
tech one. Only one that works. I bought a new HDTV and it only has one
component input so I need one to switch between my Cable HD and my DVD
player. TIA

Can't wait!

My local costco (NJ) have them on sale too now for the past 2 weeks on
a pallet. Have not sold out so far so I guess the saturation point has
been reached and the unit is now more available.
BTW,
PS1 launched 1995 retailed for $299.
PS2 launched 2000 retailed for $299.
So PS3 launching 2006 will also retail for $299 (but multiply it by 2)? hehe

This movie bored me to death. Didn't finish it at all and mailed it back.
Yes, Keira Knightley is some lady ain't she? Reminds me of Winona Rider
with a slight over bite but with more sex appeal or "X" factor
(for me at least).

I was disappointed with this movie. Didn't like it at all. I guess it
has something to do with Viggo Mortensen as the leading actor. Somehow,
I still him as the Aragorn from LOTR so he didn't appear credible to me.

Yup I read that article. Really a weird person ain't he? ImagineSee "Target Practice" Newsweek 3.20.06 page 32.
working for the president and as a sideline, you shoplift at Target!
Geezeee......

Well ifWas looking over my new XBOX mag the other day.
There are some new games coming out for the 360 that look awesome...
Still waiting to get one. Most likely not until summer.
anyone is interested, COSTCO.COM have some for sale now.
-
Well I anticipated it and it did happen. Last friday, my unit froze soWell, it's not exactly on purpose...
Think about it. The final hardware structure for the 360 until
about August (the betas were shown at E3, but those weren't
final). So they had from August to November to get as many as
they could produced and distributed (not a lot of time at all).
This is compounded when you consider that this is a completely new
custom chip...there are ALWAYS manufacturing issues with new chip dyes,
and they process is constantly refined over the first few months to
reduce/eliminate dud chips coming off the line (the dud factor is
always high at the beginning of manufacturing of a new chip).
This is I guess the main reason why you have those overheating, game
freeze, and other problems some users are encountering with the unit.
As a matter of fact, Microsoft already had support articles in their
website prior to launching the unit.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;907588
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;907586
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906652
Also, ever wondered why the unit came with a microsoft offer for a 2
year extended warranty? Makes me really ponder. But all is well for me
until I get any of those problems so I'm knocking on wood. I would most
likely get the extended warranty too before the 90 day basic warranty
is over.
I turned it off and on again. Then I got the dreaded 3 red lights on
the ring of light which meant that the unit was encounterting a
hardware error or something. Tried the MS troubleshooting article but
it did not work, the unit is dead. I called MS support and will send me
a box to return the unit for a fix/replacement. And it had to happen on
a weekend..bummer!

Watched it last night....Mannnn,,,,THAT WAS SOME MOVIE!!!!!!Anybody have a opinion on the winner of 2006 oscar
for Best Picture . . .Crash? It certainly wasn't that
popular at the box office.
Yeah....I liked it a lot. The plot, the characters, how everything
intertwined[*] with one another. I give it 10 thumbs up!!!! [
]ADMIN EDIT: SPOILER ALERT Don't scroll down if you haven't seen the film.
[*]The
only thing I couldn't figure out, and I think became off based with the
plot is when a righteous guy (Ryan Phillippe) all of a sudden became a
hater in one day (after saving a black man)?
Amy's 2 cents: I think the point
to that wasn't that he was righteous and all of a sudden became a
hater... I think the point was that he honestly didn't consider
himself a racist or think he had a preconceived notion about
other people, but when faced with a pressure situation like he was,
instincts came into play. Turned out he wasn't the man he
thought he was, and he DID have the mindset to think the worst.
He was naive about himself.
That's what I got out of his story line, anyway.
************ My spin *********
Well that was a huge and immediate turn around for
that guy either way imo. All in less than a day. He was a little
confrontational in the car which was a throw off from his character
based on what was shown from the start of the movie (he was against
running after the wrong SUV, he was clearly against what his partner
was doing, he reported it to his superior, etc).
At that fatal scene, he was clearly anticipating for something to happen. He clearly got what he wished for.

My Sony DVP-NS70H connect to my TV via HDMI. I use an optical cable connecting the unit to my Yamaha Receiver.
Only thing is, when I watch a DVD, I have to lower the volume of the TV
to zero. I can't mute it because I always see the mute message on the
screen and I can't selectively disable the audio from the HDMI. When I
got Star Wars 3, I wasn't impressed with the sound at all. It was only
after watching the whole movie that I noticed I was hearing most of the
sound coming from the TV itself and not the receiver.

Years ago, I was waiting in the hospital waiting for my Girlfriend (who
is BTW now my wife) finish her evening schedule as a nurse. I was
inside the car when a woman approached me. She looked distressed and
told me a story about her child confined in the ICU and needing some
medicines. She showed me a presciption and was asking for some help of
any sort. Of course I was skeptical but on the other hand it may be
true all along. Eventually, I gave her some money. My take is that if
it was true, I would have helped her in my own little way and that was
good enough for me, if not, I wouldn't be the one answering questions
come judgement day. I couldn't bear the fact that I could have helped
somebody that time around and didn't do anything about it.
Kudos to you!

haha - you could be right there!Must have been for the Barney room!

Anyone buyin' a PS3?
in Lounge

Yup I'm getting one. Hopefully I'd be lucky enought to get one on launch day via pre-order. If not, it's OK because I still have my 360.
Anyways, I'm getting it for blu-ray, Tekken and Metal Gear games. For some reason, I never really got hooked on GT series.
