Memorex Blu-Ray player - $149 @ Buy.com

The only thing I can find that's close to an owner review is this: "I had one of these for less than 2 weeks. The HDMI port on the back somehow got loose, and there was terrible static through the picture. If I wiggled the cable, the static would go away, but only temporarily. I think I'll just...

Wireless N decision

I had thought that the N draft 2.0 certified products are guaranteed to be compatible with the final N specification. Then I read this on the Wi-Fi Alliance website: Will my Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n draft 2.0-based Wi-Fi product work with products that are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and designed to...

Can anyone recommend a good router?

That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. The 855 is way too high, and the 4500 gaming router just doesn't seem worth the extra $$ based on what I've read. It looks like the 5ghz capability is costing too much right now, at least for my needs. And my cordless phone is listed as using...

Can anyone recommend a good router?

I wasn't looking at the 802.11a routers. I thought I read that there are 802.11n routers that can use either 2.4 or 5ghz, in case there's too much interference in the 2.4 range.

Can anyone recommend a good router?

Thanks for all the info. I'm leaning towards the 655, but now I'm trying to decide if I would want to pay the extra $$ for a router with 5ghz capability. Or get a cheaper N router so I can also get another one to act as an access point for the 360 and PS3.

After reading reviews throughout the day, it looks like the D-Link DIR-655 might be a good choice. So any for/against info on that model would be appreciated, too.

Can anyone recommend a good router?

Right now we have a Netgear MR314 802.11b router, and it's just not performing nearly as well as I'd like (for example, the PS3 browser speed test show around 550k download and 11k upload). So I'm looking at getting an 802.11g router, but I'm not sure which would be best. We currently have a...

*OLD*Official Bioshock Thread

Seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. The uproar over a company leaning towards 'favoring' a majority of users has been comical and sad at the same time. But I do agree that the FOV could probably be wider. I'll see how I feel after a few more hours of gameplay.

LOTR Trilogy DVD Box Set - Widescreen $15

Extended ROTK is the best of the three. I can't wait until these are available on HD-DVD. I just hope they add the Costas Botes documentaries to the HD versions.

Bf2 crash problems yet agian________

I had similar problems with 1.3 (except I would crash as soon as I clicked "join game"). It's been a LOT better with the 1.4 patch. I also recommend trying an uninstall/defrag & cleanup/reinstall. A reinstall did help a couple of friends of mine.
