If you are looking for raw power, the Sunfire Theater Grand has plenty and then room for a bit more. However, for the price tag, it is lacking many of the features you would find in even min-range models. Technology trickle down over the last year has produced some amazing features for reasonable prices. Things like iPod connectivity, sat radio […]
Read moreI am not sure how they were able to do it, but Digital Bits has a nice post wrapping up CES. I, of course, was referring to their writing style that can only be labelled as ranting yet informative. A good combination that makes for a good read.

Read moremonoprice.com has been a favorite of mine for many years now. They supply absolutely great cables at great prices with very few people arguing about their quality.

Gizmodo at least sheds a little light on the IPTV integration with Xbox 360's that were mentioned in CES. They even have a video of it in action!

Now let me first say, all this article is basically, is a bunch of pretty, high quality images. BUT, if you're curious as to what 1080p content looks like, and are too lazy to download a trailer on your own, it's at least a fun read. (And the Bikini HD DVD screen caps are very…..special? :-P) Read…errr….see the […]
