This would be pretty good news for HD DVD fans, as Walmart having this much of a vested interest is always good for a product's longevity. And I have to agree with their thinking, for them to commit this much, the units will have to be one of the lowest priced units ever. Curious if it'll compete with Xbox360's HD […]
Read moreNever heard of Llama.com before this, but they've got some nice pictures of the outside & inside of the new XBox360 Elite hardware. Kudos to Microsoft for including an HDMI cable that Sony omitted. Llama Last but certainly not least is the key upgrade to the system; the HDMI port. This was the major let down of the Xbox 360 […]
Read moreNot a bad article for those of you ripping your music to your server, but honestly, in this day & age where you can buy terabytes of hard drive space for so cheap, do you really need to be skimping on your music quality, no matter what anyone says? So what do you kids rip at? I'm a 192kbps man […]
Read moreI post this more because of the potential behind it. Just think about things you could build a computer out of! Probably not powerful enough to be your main HTPC, but hopefully at some point we get Software MCE Extender that then can maximize its potential. The Tech Report This new form factor specifies motherboards measuring only 10cm x 7.2cm, […]

DROOOL!!!! Yeah, I can't get over the excitement of a 1 TERABYTE hard drive finally coming out! And I'm even more excited that it was by Hitachi, known for their AAM-enabled quiet hard drives, versus Seagate's loud garbage. Tom's Hardware  Hitachi's new Deskstar 7K1000 is clearly worth recommending for those with huge storage requirements. Its 1 TB represents a […]
Read moreI love competition, and this is a great example why. It forces companies to be innovative, and if they just rip off another company's idea, at least don't charge the consumer as much. Curious though, do you guys often find the need to record a show from your phone? TV Squad While Sprint and Verizon are charging for their services, […]

Those of you anxiously awaiting the release of the Xbox360 Elite can finally waste…err…spend those savings. If you can't wait, you can go to Ebay & be gauged to be one of the first. I'm sure they're going for an obscene price right now….but curious who's really going to pay considering it's just a regular 360 with some nice addons, […]
Read moreI doubt this is a huge blow for Blu-Ray, nor a huge gain for HD-DVD, just one of those random factoids that doesn't help anyone in the cause to convert the millions over to high definition, whether they want it or not. If they're delaying, why not just include a combo player? Whatever, just talking out loud now. MacNN The […]

You know a technology is unique when my friend who knows absolutely nothing about computers tells me, "Forget that computer, I want that thing that's a mirror AND a computer." I try to explain to her, you can buy a $300 computer & a $50 mirror, for a LOT less than whatever this is going to cost, but she wanted […]
Read moreI've never posted a link to DL.TV, and that's really my fault so I apologize. I should show my loyalty considering I used to watch this often. The show features Patrick Norton, from the old Tech-TV glory days, and they often feature home theater programming. To those unaware, DL.TV is a twice-a-week vidcast where they go over hardware & news […]
