Nice that it works with pre-orders. This is a better deal than a gift card on your next purchase (IMO). Ordered MW2 and Halo: ODST.

I'm in for one. BTW, with the Walmart deal on this earlier (which went OOS very quickly) are there any rumors that this might become the new normal price? Just asking.

No, in fact MCE and VMC don't support QAM on tuners out of the box. Avermedia is one of the few companies that even have beta support for QAM in VMC. The Avermedia software works fine with this tuner. Check out GB-PVR (free PVR for Windows) as I hear that it has support for QAM wtih this tuner...

Be warned that the VMC QAM stuff is annoying (in fact very), but it did eventually work and is still working. Just for the record though, the Avermedia TV software from their site worked with QAM right off the bat, I just prefer the easy scheduling with VMC. I've had zero problems with the...

Using some beta drivers and beta channel scanning app from Avermedia, I was able to get QAM support in Vista Media Center (The Green Button has some info on it). The quality of the picture is good in both analog and digital. As a previous poster mentioned a $30 Terk antenna works well (I have...

I'm hoping that the two new cards from ATI will take some of the pressure off of the 8800 GT. If ATI has the volume up and price down, then we should see the 8800 GT start coming down soon. It looks like ATI has a nice card in the 3870, but I still want the 8800GT.

Great deal if you can find it. Just a note to those that may have missed out on this deal, EA has announced a BF2 Deluxe Edition that will have regular and the special forces expansion. EB Games has it priced at $49.99, so you can expect a few more discounts on BF2 in the next month. Be on...

I got in on this deal yesterday. I expect the card to work great for mp3s and wmas on my ipaq 4155. I'm using a 128mb Sandisk (plain jane) and it works great (except the lack of space). On most pdas, there are other limitations (USB controller and cpu) that will keep you from taking advantage of...

I'm not talking about the brand. It's the transfer specs on the card. Lexar has a high speed (32x) version of thier 1Gb Secure Digital card. Kingmax has a 60x card. The bottom line is the faster cards will transfer around 10 mb/sec and the slower cards like this will transfer around .5 to 1...

I picked it up at $79.99 before rebate as well. Also, there is a 5% off Buy.com coupon out there as well. I got my coupon in an email. I'm sure it is around. Keep in mind that this isn't the fast stuff. At this price, that is okay with me. My ipaq 4155 has a slow usb connection anyway. This...
