Techguy1138 commented on Blu-ray players just aren't, at 8:52 PM on May 12 I have a feeling it has more to do with most people not owning HDTV's yet. Couple this with the fact the prices drop around Christmas, not May. more » [consumerist]

Techguy1138 commented on UPDATE: Sony Reads Consumerist, Decides To Replace Your PS3, at 5:28 PM on May 12 @diddy0071: What did the CSR give you as the reason for rejecting your request for repair? Given the manufacture date, that they can check, you should be golden. Does anyone who works at companies know if there is a semi valid reason for rejecting these claims, stolen units,etc? more » [consumerist]

Techguy1138 commented on Sony's Email Customer Service Is Extremely Unhelpful, at 8:41 PM on May 8 I found a similar response from Sony on a far less serious PS3 issue. It looks like the phone is the way to go. I called and complained to customer service. more » [consumerist]

Techguy1138 commented on Criterion Collection Going Blu-Ray!, at 3:13 PM on May 8 Older B&W movies will benefit the most from BD conversion. The sharpness present on B&W negatives puts color motion picture stock to shame. If you get a chance to actually see old b&w film, even decades old prints, you will be shocked by how natural and life like they look. By contrast color films and negative took until the 90's to get as good. So Yojimbo and Flight of the Phoenix will look better than Rocky, The last Emperor and Seven Years in Tibet on BD. I will buy BD versions of those B&W movies if they rescan. more »

Techguy1138 commented on Behind the Xbox 360 Hard Drive's Insane Price, at 9:20 PM on May 7 @Sam_Zebian: I would guess that people don't transfer more stuff on the ps3 because they don't know that they can use a common usb stick drive to do that. It's really a lot easier since the PS3 doesn't lock your user profiles,game saves, into a drm scheme. more »
