Umm, you better be telling the truth there. This was the deciding factor in me buying myself a birthday present of getting two tickets for this show.

It's a LCD I'm guessing?

Record the audio so that there is proof that he has a deep Jackie Mason jewish accent. Sabu didn't talk at all. And I chickened out asking. Sandman was really nice though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/mol...busandme001.jpg

I'm going to see Sandman an Sabu at a mall here in Long Island in like one hour. I am going to ask Sabu what those pills were.

I work at a Post-Production office in West Hollywood called Technicolor Creative Services. Who did you blow to get that job?

Yes, digital cable is different from HD. Digital cable broadcasts shows in either 480i or 480p, while HD broadcasts in 720p or 1080i (1080p someday, but not yet.) Fox, ESPN and ABC use 720p while everyone else uses 1080i. I have no idea what a integrated digital tuner does, but I am sure Marv does.

There are several factors that can have affect the PQ of a title. The video source is probably the most important thing. If the source isn't very good, the PQ won't be great. The only fair way to compare the PQ for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is to watch the same movie on both formats. First BR vs HD-DVD comparison. And right now, it seems that the problems are with the software. The codec that the BRs are using are MPEG2, which is old and isn't that good as others. But this is the wrong thread for this discussion.

Well I own a 360. But I'm all about the Wii right now just for the controls. The only way I'll get a PS3 is if it turns out that the BR's bad PQ is from the software and not the hardware. But I won't get it until the price drops to atleast $400.

After some reading and asking other forums, the HD-DVD discs are capable of 1080p. The player just can't play it yet. I see 1080p.

That's a good idea. I'll look for my Elena Bovina hat. Also, off-topic, Mole is quickly passing you for "posting about HDTV in every post". Don't let him win. He's a drooling idiot. Yeah, but he's backing the wrong Next Gen DVD format..and most of what he knows is through me passing my knowledge along.. Yeah, I got some of it from you and the rest from google and the AVS forums. And your BR love blinds you Marvo.

I didn't mind Jersey Girl.

No, see, I don't buy that. I am sure I am wrong there, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Are you talking about this quote:

Car stereo.

And you have to remember this: the 360 isn't TRUE HD. The 360 is just upconverting the games to either 720p or 1080i, since it still uses DVDs for their games. But at the same time, I am not even sure how good the PS3 will look. Maybe it is just the Samsung player or it might be the codec they are using for the software, but the BR PQ looks like shit right now. Sony is also having trouble getting the laser to read the dual layer discs right now, so the BR discs are only at 25GB for the moment. I don't even trust the PS3 right now. Yes, the PS3 and 360 will look better than Wii. But how often to companies worry about the graphics than the gameplay? A lot. Nintendo is concentrating on the gameplay which I am looking forward to. I am pumped about this new controller and can't wait to get my hands on it. I'll be there day one for a Wii but will wait on a PS3 for a little while.

Here's your cookie.

Ahhhh, that might help a lot.

Basically. One draw back: saving. You can only save in the Security room which is so far away after doing a few missions.

20 years or so.

Ahh, I am fucking loving this game.

My predictions: AFC East: Pats AFC North: Bengals AFC South: Colts AFC West: Chargers WC: Dolphins, Chiefs NFC East: G-Men NFC North: Bears NFC South: Panthers NFC West: Seahawks WC: Redskins, Rams AFC FR: Bengals over the Dolphins Chargers over the Chiefs AFC SR: Pats over the Bengals Chargers over the Colts AFC TR: Pats over the Chargers NFC FR: G-Men over the Rams Redskins over the Bears NFC SR: Panthers over the Redskins G-Men over the Seahawks NFC TR: G-Men over the Panthers SB: Pats over the G-Men. Yeah yeah, dumb picks. But I might as well go out on a limb since I am never right anway.

Ahh that is right. Ehh, I don't know about that. Whenever you do a bunch of converting it does bring down the PQ somewhat.

Who is the best, Marvin? I'll be in the market for one within the next 4-5 months and as far as images go, i've liked the Sony LCD projections more than the assorted DLPs. My dad's got the 70" inch Sony WEGA, which is gratuitous and possibly one of mankind's greatest inventions all at the same time. I'm open to other considerations, though, and probably looking for something in the 42"-46" range since I'm in a modest apartment. Well how much are you willing to spend? For one thing, don't get a plasma. The biggest CRTs get are 36" and they would be heavy has fuck, so you probably don't want that. You're not going to find any DLPs that are under 48". So your best bet would be a LCD. This JVC is pretty good. It also had 1080p, which is a plus even though nothing is being broadcast in that yet and probably won't for a while. And this Sony isn't that bad, but it is a Sony and I'm not a big fan of them. Im a fan of Samsung.. As far as 1080p, sets that support it are expensive but..Blu Ray supports 1080p and HD-DVD doesn't. Thats probably not a huge bonus for BR given the # of 1080p sets out, but a future advantage for BR definitely. I am sure the next gen HDDVD player will output at 1080p. And I read somewhere that the BR player downconverts to 1080i then upconverts back to 1080p before it hits the screen, which would take away from it. Have you seen the difference between the HDDVD and BR Marv? HDDVD is SO much better than BR.
