The desire for sub-$300 blu-ray players has continued to increase given the popularity of the Playstation3 for just over that amount, and that lets you play games. Lucky for consumers, these prices have not only gone down but features have gone up as the manufacturers continue to embed more and more features (such as Netflix) into their boxes. Sound and […]
Read moreI guess every store just wants to have a kiosk in there for movie rentals. I think it’s good that Redbox is getting some competition. While they’ve been pretty impressive in their offerings, being a monopoly rarely ends up good for consumers. I did find it odd that Best Buy would allow these types of kiosks, given that I would […]

I’m not sure how much this will actually pay you, and you may just be better off selling your movies and games via ebay or craigslist, but it’s hard to argue with the convenience of this. Just walk in, scan the disk and then get your gift card to spend at the overpriced Best Buy of your choice. I’d rather […]
Read moreContinuing on the Windows 7 news and articles, there’s a nice writeup over at TheGreenButton for what exactly is Home Group and how it can benefit you. Unfortunately us cable card owners are not as lucky since DRM’d recordings won’t work via this, but everything else does and it should make sharing content all that easier. TheGreenButton HomeGroup is a […]

Keep in mind, this is absolute overkill if you are strictly using your system as an HTPC. But if you are also doing some hardcore gaming on your big screen TV then I’m sure you’ll appreciate […]

Echostar is continuing its battle against other STB manufacturers, but this one is particularly cool given how anti-slingbox so many companies have been. Slingbox allows you to broadcast your TV signal across the internet so when you’re away from home you can watch TV from a web browser. Pretty cool if it comes to fruition.

Read moreAnother feature packed episode of HD Nation from the gang at Revision 3. Covering a wealth of topics from the simple such as blu-ray releases to comparing big name brand LCD’s versus off-brands–a topic which has been discussed for as long as I can remember. Video embedded below for your enjoyment…
Read moreThe competition continues to increase, but what normally is the battle from Extender-devices, this is the first I have seen from the blu-ray players battle. I would love to see an analysis if this actually increases sales or how many customers will actually use this feature.

This was a tough week for the pick of the week with a lot of classic comedies being released. My heart really wanted to go with Big Trouble in Little China, a classic Kurt Russel-meets-kung-fu comedy. Waterboy was a very close 3rd for what it’s worth, arguably one of Adam Sandler’s finest pieces of work. In the end…. MissingRemote’s Pick […]
