    Rob's HTPC Setup (CableCard, Touchscreen LCD, etc..) PICS!

    Nicely done! I like how the first post in this thread from a few years back is "just" a tv and an HTPC, and now your entire house is networked up.

    why are they making less and less games "demos?"

    Seriously, that demo was awesome! Online play with 4 levels! I played it a ton.

    Possible to watch HD channels on my TV from Comcast DVR?

    I believe you'll have to get into either cablecards or the Hauppauge hd pvr if you want the digital HD channels due to encryption.

    USB TV Tuner

    I am using the KWORLD UB435-Q USB tuner with this Monoprice HD antenna. It works great with Windows 7 media center for recording. You don't need to install the KWorld recording software but you will need the drivers from the website.

    Blur

    I agree. This game wasn't on my radar at all until I tried the beta, and I am completely addicted. It is definitely a "grown up" Mario Kart and it seems to be more balanced regarding weapons. The weapons are not randomly selected, and you get the same ones on the track whether you are in 1st...

    720 via hdmi on native 768 display?

    Yup, HDMI can give you the 768 resolutions. This usually only works coming from computers. Most DVD players & blu-ray players only use the standard 720/1080 resolutions via HDMI or component.

    The "Don't void your security deposit" apartment theater

    That is sexy as hell. Be careful about playing movies and music loudly with the sub. The landlord may come over because of a complaint, lol.

    GALLERY! Show off your HTPC!

    Cool setup, AppleJD. Where is the center speaker? Is it sitting above the fireplace above/behind the screen?

    SH1FT Setup v2.0

    Looking at your old thread, it looks like you went from a projector to the plasma (unless these are two different rooms). If this indeed the route, how are you handling the trade-off of size for the nice plasma picture? Also, I like that interface. Is that Windows Media Center or is that the...

    $60 for an expansion pack? Halo 3: ODST OUTSTANDING!

    A lot of the value of ODST comes from whether or not you bought the Halo 3 map packs. I haven't purchased any of them (I only have the maps that eventually became free), so ODST is a pretty great deal for me. But I do understand the die-hards who have all the maps and their complaints.

    My new HDTV makes movies look cheesy

    Look for a setting somewhere about Automotion Plus, and turn it to a lower level or off completely.

    360: HD Visuals & Performance

    "horrible aliasing, shimmering, draw-distance issues and major pop-in" These are related to the game. There's nothing wrong with your cable, TV, or 360 otherwise.

    Using the hard drive to load games this fall should help with the noise (though not the fans, I guess).

    Xbox 360 upscaling question.....

    Those resolutions are the max resolutions supported, so 720P and the ones in between work fine.

    Big surprise: Guitar Hero 4, Call of Duty 5, and Tony Hawk 11 confirmed

    The sad thing is, I thought you were being sarcastic by calling the next Tony Hawk game "Tony Hawk 11," and then I counted them out myself...

    Gamestop refused to sell me an unopened UT3 Collectors Edition

    Gamestop could just scan the artwork, print it out with a decent printer, and pop them in some empty DVD cases.

    XFX 8800GT 512MB $187 Shipped

    I got my order through using Paypal at 7:00 pm CST. At the time, Dell was listed on the slider as part of the Paypal Holiday Promotion. I should be covered, right? For what it's worth, I emailed Dell Customer Service asking about the Paypal 20% promo, and the guy got it confused with the...

    Explain to me why Halo is so popular

    It's over-hyped because people reserve and buy copies when they don't actually like the game.

    Will the DS one day take over the world?

    I seem to remember Nintendo saying around the time of the DS's original launch that is was separate from the Game Boy line and that they were continuing to work on the Game Boy Advance's successor. I wonder if the success of the DS will let them hold off on that for awhile.
