    It's back - MS XBOX HD-DVD w/ 2 HD-DVDs $199.99

    The xbox unit comes with a fully functional remote control. The only downside I see with this is that it's sort of like a tv with a built in dvd player. If the tv dies, the DVD player goes with it.

    It's back - MS XBOX HD-DVD w/ 2 HD-DVDs $199.99

    Keep in mind BPB that at CC you can choose any two dvd's TOTALLING $60, meaning you can do like I did and get one $25 movie (batman) and one $35 movie (Departed). Now to just bite my tongue and wait for Planet Earth to go on a super sale!

    It's back - MS XBOX HD-DVD w/ 2 HD-DVDs $199.99

    Both are offering a basically the same deal this week. Paying the normal $199.99, you can buy it from Best buy (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...duct&id=1158321865239) and get 2 HD-DVD's 29.99 or less (each) free. Offer valid online but you're bound to "Breach" and "Bourne Supremacy"...

    HDMI Cable 8.99 Shipped after instant discount

    Monoprice has great prices, and great shipping. I have done business with them before and will continue for those two reasons. I did however buy an hdmi cable from them, a "premium" one I believe, for <10$. About 3 months later, it was broken under minimal use and proper conditions (cord not in...

    Logitech MX Revolution

    Any word if you can use the $30 at all? The fine print says explicitly can't be combined with any other instant savings, discount, or coupon. I Just bit though, using the 12% coupon (arrest me!), so all in all $45 AR as OP said. Nice!

    Applying tint to car windows

    Yes, wrong forum.. To answer your question, I was a professional tinter for over a year and still do it on the side. Long story short, if you plan to do it yourself - don't, have a professional do it. But if you're question is simply if you should wait to take it to a tinter until summer...

    Transformers Optimus Prime 20th Anniversary Figure, one big heavy mother! The non-molested 1980's version of Prime!

    This 20th anniversary edition isn't totally metal, but it's got a good bit in it. They seemed to have made the areas which could cause injury more likely (points) plastic, while keeping the windshield/etc. metal. Definately a nice figurine, and the shocks are an awesome touch.

    Westinghouse 32" LCD $539 pre tax/delivery @ BB

    However says it can't watch 4:3 is silly. That's right, silly. I picked one up on BF and it's a great screen. And you can adjust aspect ratio to not stretch 4:3, of course.

    (Dead) Best Buy 7 hour sale

    Ya know, it would not have been such an unejoyable experience for myself if Best buy had a more organized system. Getting there at 6 pm the day before, being 20th in line, didn't have too much matter since skipping was rampant. Mobs literally formed threatening the skippers and calling them out...

    One question about These HDTV deal going on BF

    You're probably in the wrong forum. However, to answer, you will in fact need a digital hdtv receiver. Most digital cable companies offer you rent one from them (with tivo functionality) for 5-10 bucks a month plus cable costs. Well worth it.
