There is also a picture quality difference between the two versions. The BBC version is better. Read the reviews at Hi-def digest. That said -- it's still a pretty good deal.
Smells very fishy to me -- especially given the outlet. What do you all think? Anyone feeling lucky?

Locked, because of questionable deal. We don't want our members to be guinea pigs.

Actually -- for my tastes (action/big budget/etc) HD-DVD had a better catalog (Transformers, Bourne, Matrix, etc.).
But I moving format neutral now. Still keeping my A2 as I still think it is a great player and it only cost me $89. I have about 25 movies of which I actually purchased only...
So I borked my 320gb -- Maxtor rebadge that I got for $60 from Frys.com. I was playing around with lighting in my case and my hand ran into the SATA cable and broke the retaining tab.
So I RMA'ed my drive and 10 days later I get a 750gb Seagate Barracuda (7900.10) back. How awesome is...
I have one -- and I love it. I guess I suck at knowing good monitors. Costco has it for the same price BTW -- better warranty and return policy at Costco.
Went yesterday to my local CUSA. The only thing that peeked my interest was a Corsair HX620w modular PSU. It was market at $170 with 20% off. But I wold like to see that price come down another 10% before I bite. They had like 6 of them on the shelf.
So I had taken the stock HSF off of my 7900 GTO and has run it with a Danger Den Koolah water block.
I decided to go back to air and sell the block in anticipation of changing out the card altogether.
I cleaned the stock HSF of all thermal paste and (now regretting it) removed and threw...
Two other things to consider:
1. Xbox 360 has many, many more AAA exclusive titles both currently and into the future (Bioshock, Halo 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect ...). The only exclusive titles on the PS3 that seem to generate any interest are Metal Gear and maybe GT5 (but you really have...
None in Nashville. But I was headed to Birmingham AL anyway this weekend so I checked. Sure enough -- they have some at the Birmingham store and the Hoover store.
I went ahead and bought for in-store pickup in Birmingham (which is like a block from my hotel) -- and I just got the...
I just called my local Hastings. The lady confirmed that there was a $100 MIR on the 60GB PS3 and that the rebate was good till November 17th.
One thought -- if the $100 MIR requires that the original UPC code be sent to Hastings -- it may make the deal a bit less awesome since you won't...
Here is the rig -- virtually all the components are brand new.
Intel Q6600 (no overclock)
Abit IP35-Pro
SATA Maxtor 320GB HDD
EVGA 7900GTO
630w Raidmax Volcano
Hercules Gaming Theater XP (old component)
PATA DVD-ROM and DVD-RW
The rig is watercooled with a Danger Den setup (CPU and...
I have a 7900 GTO which I absolutely love. Lately I am getting a lot of artifacts even at stock speeds, and now the card won't display at all in windows (but will display - w artifacts - in the bios screen and on boot up).
The card is getting power from its 6-pin power connector. I have a...
Can anyone else confirm that the NEC ND-2500 from MWave comes w/ Nero 6? I want to buy from someone else to save shipping charges. But if I get a free copy of Nero -- I'll pay the extra $10.
So I had Mozilla 1.31 loaded up and running fine. Loved it. But I wanted to enable quick launch and couldn't figure out how to do it without reninstalling Mozilla. So I uninstalled -- then reinstalled (clicked enable quick launch) -- but now the proggy seems to install, but the navigator...
I need to know what is the best? What features should I be looking for.
I had a trusty Netgear RT314 and liked it. But in my new apartment I need wireless to connect my Xbox (in my living room) to my DSL connection (in my study). I have a PC in my study and will have it hooked up via CAT5...
Gamefly certainly seems with it.
I sent back Robot Alchemic Drive yesterday (an interesting, quirky game definately worth the rental) -- and they credited the return, and have sent out my top pick in my Q.
Splinter Cell -- woot!!!
Seems like they have enough copies around.
If you don't straight up copy the ads -- and instead just relay the relevant information. Then I do not see how they can claim a copyright claim. Names of products + prices does not equate to copyrightable information. They are just trying to scare you all. I say keep talking about Black...
Just to update -- I too got my games within a day (I live in LA) using Gamefly.
Only disappointment -- the "low pre-owned" price of the games (assuming you decide to keep one) seems to always be $47.99 (at least for recent titles). Add the $2 charge for shipping out the DVD box and...
Well -- I signed up for Gamefly's service (a buddy of mine from work and I are going to split the costs).
I checked RedOctane -- but although it says rent unlimited titles -- is seems that can only keep 2 out at a time (just like Gamefly.com).
Like that Gamefly is here in L.A. -- so I went...
Thanks guys. Looks like evertything is good now. The work PC is reporting to Engineers que and is using user ID 3263509. This is the same ID as is being used on the home PC, that's going through Orangekid's Proxy.
Wait, I updated SetiSpy to get my latest User Stats and it say unknown to everything except that I registered in September 2001. And it says CPU time 0. What's up with this??
Thanks guys. I have it all worked out now I believe. In a couple of weeks Pheran will be history. Only thing is -- this is going to mess up my Avg WU time of less than 2:30 :(
The work PC takes a leisurely 10 hours to crunch.
I guess what I am asking is this: If the Monolith turns in 9 WU's per day to the Orangekid's server, and the work PC turns in 3 WU's to Engineer's -- will I get credit for all 12 on the TeamAnandtech states. Right now I am ranked 496 or something -- and I am trying to catch and pass Pheran at...
I have the Monolith -- my home comp -- using Orangekid's proxy. That's all cool
Now, recently I decided to set up my work PC (a 733mhz PIII) to crunch as well -- but because of my corporate firewall -- I could not access port 5001 and cannot use Orangekid's proxy.
OK, so now I am using...
