    Anyone with a Samsung KS8000? Need your help!

    I've been trying to convince Samsung that they have a bug in their current software (I have 1114 as the latest), and since my TV is less than 2 weeks old at this point, I'd rather see if the userbase has the same issue, instead of them replacing the mainboard in my new TV. I have a...

    Picked up BF2 Complete from Amazon, have a question

    The box art isn't what was shown on Amazon. The one I received seems to be for a region outside of the US, with the ESRB being replaced by a "16+" and a link to www.pegi.info. Before I open it, can someone confirm that this game is playable on a US PC, and if I'll have any issues patching it...

    Name this cheap handheld video game thingie

    Back in the 90's, there was a handheld video game that a person wore on their head, and this eye piece would fold down and display red lines a la VirtualBoy. It had a cord and there was a controller on the end. It had games like Mortal Kombat. I cannot remember the name and my google-fu is...
