While not directly HTPC related, Bjorn 3D did a nice writeup on how to make a bootable NTFS USB drive. One of those things that might come in handy some day. It’s fairly short, so I thought it was worth the read. That’s all you have to do to create a Bootable NTFS Disk but what can you do […]

Watchmen is one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases for a while, and it’s good to see that it lives up to expectations. Not just from a picture quality perspective–which you knew would be stunning–but the bonuses and extended length make it worthwhile. And it better be–the director’s cut runs over 3 hours long!!

I can’t imagine seeing this on retail shelves in the US anytime soon–it’s simply too expensive and lavish…and light colored. That being said, it is pretty cool to look at.

This won’t give y ou any flashing lights that you so desparately crave, but fortunately it does seem to bring quite a bit of file compatibility with it, and for a very affordable $100.

I have to assume Ben is eventually going to write more up about this TV in this "review," but at the very least, he does have some very nice pictures of this stunning 2.1" deep TV set. Some nice pictures of the DLNA abilities of the set–still not close to SageTV’s or MCE’s Extender interfaces, but right up there with […]

I don’t recall Sony’s original DVD changer doing so hot in the retail world, but that hasn’t stopped them from releasing a massive 400 disc changer. If this thing works it will be awesome, considering that 400 blu-ray movies (assuming 40gb per) is around 16 TERABYTES. Just saying…in case you were going to rip 400 blu-rays 🙂 Engadget The […]
