Awesome.

Hey, ticketmaster wants in on stubhub like sales. People think Apple's missing the boat by not capitalizing on unlocked iphones going for $700 around the world. What bestbuy is doing is cutting out the middleman's middleman by offering a device for an ebay-like price *with* warranty. Seems pretty smart to me.
Microsoft scouting exclusive video content for Zune {Engadget}
Aug 13th 2008 10:43AM What's wrong with the Zune software? For me, it's much snappier than iTunes, and less 'spreadsheet' fugly. But I cannot say enough about how slow iTunes is. 3.5 Gigs of ram with no other apps running should make any app feel spry. iTunes doesn't.
Of course, I use my Zune software much more than iTunes, so I may be missing something. Just my opinion people, not flame war bait. I honestly want to know what people dislike about the software.

Jul 21st 2008 10:49AM I wouldn't mind a free media center extender for my bedroom. Only engadget can turn a free 360 into a complaint.
Sony's $400 BDP-S350 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player now shipping {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 8:17PM I remember people telling me the same thing 10 years ago when I said mp3s @ 128 sounds better than 96kbps. Some people could hear a difference, some couldn't. And of the one's who could, only some cared. To each his own. ;)

Jul 16th 2008 7:48PM ignatius: It's also obvious that a minor difference in sound quality probably isn't worth the sacrifice of playing games.
It can't be obvious, and probably not worth the sacrifice at the same time. The audio difference is like 160kbps vs lossless. TrueHD has much greater resolution than standard DVDs, and TrueHD downgraded to dolby digital or dts. There is a difference mostly during dialog and the movie scores. Huge explosions, not so much (like deep bass in 160kbps & lossless). Games on the PS3 don't sell me. If this had TrueHD analog out I'd get it over the PS3. To each his own.
@David Ron. Screw overpriced Monster cable, especially with digital connects. For the most part, digital is digital is digital and generally stays bit for bit. Terrible cables can muck it up a little though.

Jul 16th 2008 6:51PM No TrueHD analog output = no sale.
I'm an audio junkie. I have a great system that handles everything but HDMI. Sony, give me some high quality dacs and analog output and I will give you money.

Jun 27th 2008 10:33PM Encarta helped out a ton with my middle school and high school homework. But yeah, windows being available on lots of hardware allowed prices to go down, productivity to go up, and games for a little somethin somethin on the side.

Jun 27th 2008 12:27PM Ahem, failed to mention Zune can sync Media Center shows (at least they can now).
