Argh still seeing that image and no new pics of the YF-21. Any idea when you'll be weapons free to release your pics, Graham?

Uh, exploding is a pretty good reason to die isn't it? His story arc was complete, as was Nathan's and Sylar's. Most of the arcs stunk from Claires to Hiro's. Why is Adam even English. Just make him Japanese Takeo Kensei! All 3 had potential...

If I could even shoehorn a 1/18 fig in there, I would probably STILL buy it.

With all the advertising they do, I was hoping they were going to go the other direction and give Silver the basic abilities to play games, etc. There is no way I'd ever pay for XBL when I have PSN and PC gaming for free...

Might have to try that mod myself. One of the only weak links on the 360's otherwise great controller.

Bold words. I wouldn't presume to challenge Michael Bay for knowing how his own films should look and which home video presentation brings them closer... As far as format, Blu-ray has a massive advantage in bandwidth and capacity. The latter can be dealt with relatively easy (and Toshiba is sure trying with it's 51GB discs). The bandwidth issue is far stickier and Toshiba's proposals (1.5x on their drives) are untested at best an unviable at worst. Effectively, HDDVD's limits mean out of the high definition standard of: 1) 16:9 AR 2) PiP/IME 3) Lossless audio you only get 2 out of the 3. They can do a 2.35:1 AR movie and give you the other two (even then it's usually tight) but you'll never get all 3. The straight HDDVD conversion from Warner were leaving 20GB unused on the disc and no 20Mbps free in the total MUX... HDDVD has had the whole year with PiP/IME but that ends in the beginning of the year and HDDVD has still lost near 50 consecutive weeks of sales, more often at 1/3 to 1/2 than not and their small lead in dedicated players is dwarved by the influx of PS3 owners versus 360 add-on owners...

Frys has just about been able to meet or improve on just about any Amazon price out there, even before you consider shipping & handline, most of the time. Not everyone has one local, however. Other times I've used Target and Best Buy when I have a Target ad handy for them to price match. That said, I have purchased a couple titles off amazon (Buy 1 Get 1 ) and got Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence on Blu-ray (7.1ch lossless audio goodness!) on the web. Most of my buying has been limited to new releases, though, since I have been rebuying very few catalog titles I already own on DVD (Pearl Harbor, Spidey 1, and BlackHawk Down as some of the few that come to mind).

I'm more than happy to spend $25-30 for a new HD release that brings out the glory of my 60" SXRD and 7.1 high def audio out of my Denon. $30+ I have to really want it... if the value is there, I'm willing to pay it. For most Fox Blu-ray and HDDVD combos, that's not the case but I have no probably at all spending $20-30.

I'll change out the cable tomorrow probably. I have reset the BIOS and deleted from device manager (followed by the requisite reboot). Thanks everyone.

I would have been all over this at 1/18.

Have I mentione that I would have been sooooo much happier if Peter, Nathan, and Sylar had died at the end of Chapter 1? Instead both Peter and Sylar will be even MORE super duper powerful. They're going to suffer from Fantastic Four syndrome and eventually we'll run out of disbelief to suspend. If we haven't already.

Nope, can't view anything in any format. There are no drivers on the Sony site, so I'm thinking it's a default driver. It was working fine though. Maybe one of the Windows updates in the last month or so fragged it?

All of the Harmony's are effectively the same remote. The only thing you pay more for is size of the screen and whether it's color not, and how many soft buttons you want. I have a Harmony 720 and love it. Good sized color screen and not nearly as bulky as the awkward peanut shape of the 880/890. Backlighting is perfect and it has a cradle/charger.

It's already on Youtube isn't it? I still would like to see a frame by frame, particularly when the legs are coming down from Fighter to Gerwalk, if not the whole transformation that we see. Removable limbs don't bother me as long as 1) it's secure when attached and 2) it's not required for transformation Sure looks beautiful. Definitely getting one.

Love the YF-19FP. I was eyeballing the Nora SV-51 this weekend. Looks like a beauty, but I'd say that ultimately you need both. Given the relative pricing (YF-19FP is cheaper at ~200-220$ while the Nora was $240) I'd say that should make it easier.

Learned about Yamato Valkyries coming out somehow or the other... found valkyrie-exchange.com and from there found here.

One of my DVD burners has basically stopped working. Device Manager says it's operating normally and troubleshooting doesn't reveal jack. It shows up as a CD-ROM and nothing will autoplay except a blank DVD-R (which prompts me to burn a disc, etc - but it won't burn). If I put anything in there (audio CD, CD-ROM, DVD, etc) it doesn't see anything. No new drivers available and I updated my firmware. It's a Sony DRU-810A. It was working great probably 2 or 3 weeks ago (last time I burned a DVD) and is only a year old maybe. Maybe two....

The web app is even easier than the Windows ap with slightly less flashy graphics but the same net effect.

Heh. It's like crack... first hit is free (or at least cheap). What's the saying? Buy cheap, buy twice? There are some decent HTiB's that will probably fulfill a bedroom setup.

Indeed. The main story, the Protodelvin attacks on M7 was certainly dealt with. Geperenich (and Glavil) seems to get off a bit easy (with not even a "sorry about the millions we've killed and wounded")....

Definitely a much better scheme for the CF, too...

Is this going to be a Takara version of the US Masterpiece? Or just an import of the US version?

Heh, is THIS one going to renamed, too?

I'll still watch season 1 on HDDVD and pretend that Peter, Nathan, and Sylar died. And given where he went, Parkman too.
