Games should be in widescreen. The reason the tv channels are showing up cut off on the sides is they were shot in 4:3 mode to fit a standard tv while HD content is shot in a 16:9 widescreen ratio. The two pillarboxes on the sides of the content on your HD channels are just to preserve the...

There is no way Sony is dropping Blu-Ray as they've pretty much bet the company on it and are planning on using the PS3 as the main device to get it into people's homes. If it does get pushed back it will probably be due to the overheating problems that were reported a couple weeks ago...

Google, the Internet's leading search engine, announced Monday that it is buying popular online video site YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock. YouTube, which was founded in February 2005, has quickly become the most well-known of several online video sites. More than 100 million videos, many of...

Sony is pretty much betting their future that the PS3 is going to give Blu-Ray the edge in the HD battle. Their desperate for Blu-Ray to become the defacto standard so they can collect the royalties for what most are expecting to be the next 10-12 year period. Unfortunatley I don't see...

Forgot to add that the 360 addon will support 1080p as well, so it will be quite a bit cheaper than buying the XA2 which is going to be Toshiba's 1080p player and will be priced at $999. Will have to wait and see what the image quality is like but honestly looking at past efforts I don't give...

MS has stated that the HD-DVD addon will only be for movies so at least their not forcing everyone to buy one for something most people won't even use. I can't see double layer dvd's being a problem for developers for a bit, after all the only one with a bigger disc format will be Sony and...

Why wouldn't they sign exclusivity deals with MS? After all Sony has with Rockstar for the GTA line, with the Xbox having to wait 6 months to a year to get them. Money talks and if MS was willing to throw enough for exlusive titles why wouldn't the developer take them. Also with the poor...

8/10. Isn't as good as Full Metal Jacket or Saving Private Ryan but it's a good movie.

What type of video file is it?

Haven't seen too much priced lower unless Walmart happens to have a house brand, or shopping on Ebay. Usually the only way to get a cheaper device is going with a TiVO or ReplayTV where they are heavily subsidized. For HD size 160GB has pretty much become standard, may be able to find an...
