This post from Gizmodo was just too funny not to pass up. I know my cables are not the most organized in the world (the nature of the beast when you’re constantly plugging and unplugging devices every week), but it’s nowhere near as bad as any of these.

Selecting a receiver is a critical part of any home theater. It handles all of your inputs and switching between devices, not to mention the sound quality going out to your speakers. Of course, with receivers ranging in price as little as $100 to over $5000, selecting the right one for you is never easy. Here’s some comparison guides from […]

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 […]
