I went to a local FYE to get a rebate form since another store I found a Classic NES SP at had ran out, and the sales rep was kind enough to print me one out, since they didn't have any on hand. Turned out this form did not require a game, and also did not expire until June 30th. So I scanned...

Well, I called every FYE in travelling distance and none had received any Classic NES SPs yet. I also called my coconuts, and they did say the sale was until saturday (But also that a game purchase was required). I'm hoping someone with the longer rebate will get in some Classic NES ones this...

Just as a disclaimer, you've got to purchase a game of $14.99 or more to get the rebate. And only tomorrow's left apparently (Or rather today, Wednesday).

It'd be a really good deal if ebgames didn't have such expensive shipping, and if you could find Blue Shift for $5 somewhere. Otherwise, if you want Blue Shift, dealdealeal.com has the best price I've found on Platinum Collection 2, $21 + 6.50 s/h, only good with multiple items in the order though.

Well I ran memtest for about an hour (Not long, I know) and not one error. Turns out my rebooting problem was the game, and so memory works fine at 2.5 3 3 6. Maybe upping the voltage would let it run at 2 3 3 6, but for now I'll let it slide. Runs at spec, so good for the money :). Too bad...

Well I ordered some from BB.com last monday and it finally came yesterday, Spectek unfortunately. Won't run at 2 3 3 6 (Reboots when WinXP starts to load), but will load at speed (2.5 3 3 6). Thought it would be problem free after that, but just now when playing Nascar 2003 it rebooted, and a...

Yes, those are the main differences between the HTS-760 and the HTS-650, component switching (Also available now in the HTS-660) and 6.1 formats are new for the 760. Myself I have no need for component switching, as the only component source I have is a dvd player, and if I was to get an HDTV in...

Well, I pulled the trigger on the HTS-650 refurb. For $320, I figure I can't lose. I just hope it comes as nice as all the others reportedly have :). Right, if crossover isn't adjusted correctly, you'll have a gap between what the subwoofer spits out and where your other speakers stop. The 501...

I'm sure that's the case. The specs are exactly the same, as far as frequency response, sensitivity, ect. Though they are different speakers. I noticed that too, but there was at least one person who claimed to have upgraded to the 760 from the 650, and his results were favorable. Grain of salt...

The 510 receiver only comes with the HTS760. If you'll notice the 501 receiver only offers 65 watts per channel, while the 510 in this set offers 100 watts per channel. The same was true for the TXSR500 and the receiver that came with the HTS650. I'm trying to figure out how it's so much...

I might hold off since the HTS-660 is due to come out soon, which includes component switching, and it seems it's retailing with a lower list price then the HTS-650, OneCall has it for $400 so it's safe to assume you could get it for less in the future. Maybe it has a lower quality receiver, but...

For those who need Component Video switching the replacement for the HTS-650, the HTS-660 has them. I'm sure it will be awhile before those turn up as refurb units though :). Also Onkyo's TX-SR-501 now has DD EX and DTS ES decoding, but isn't as powerful as the receiver with the HTS-650/660.

Of course there's going to be a price drop, don't be so skeptical. There're always price-drops, it's only a matter of when, and this one has been a long time coming. Except that Nintendo did their price drop months ago when they started the free game offer, and Microsoft did theirs when they...

That's pretty odd, but the NEC site reports that the 1560NX has lower contrast (350:1) but quicker response, and the 1560V has higher contrast and slower response. I know the 1760V and 1760NX are reportedly identical except for height adjustment and DVI interface though. (Myself, I ordered the...

Oh yeah! Plus Alternate Angles for the Japanese track :D. But personally, I'm hoping they have Miramax release a proper 2-disc release with some extras for Mononoke Hime.
