Is right now the best time to buy a new HDTV? {Engadget HD}
Mar 31st 2009 10:03PM I got my 46" Z series for $50 (fifty) dollars as a going away present from Circuit City. I guess working there had its perks.
Besides being jobless, I'm totally LOVING LIFE with this TV mounted in my house.

Geek Squad home theater setup horror story {Engadget HD}
Mar 7th 2009 9:24AM Ok, a few things here....
I worked fro Firedog as a District Lead installer. Yes, some techs were bad and I did alot of cleanup for them. But, for the most part I know that what people were paying they were getting a decent job that mostly everyone was happy with.
Since I trained the new techs coming in, I was able to teach them the right way to get things done. The funny part is, I'm doing this work for myself now starting my own company, instead of making $20/hr. $330+ is absurd for what he did. This is great news for people like myself, just confirms what I've been saying about the boys in blue for long time.
To be fair, not all of their installers are garbage. For the most part, I can't tell you how many problems I've fixed that they have created. I'm sure some of their techs can say that about Firedog's as well. Get it done professionally if you don't know how to do it, but do some research on the company who is doing the work.
Sony's PlayStation 3 tops another "Best Blu-ray player" list {Engadget HD}
Nov 25th 2008 1:50PM IMHO its the BDP-S350.... Stable as hell, cheap as hell, around $250, got mine for $120 through vendor..quick load times, its only profile 1.1 out of box, but has ethernet for updating to 2.0 when released.
I was debating getting a PS3, but the 360 is killing it with netflix, media center, and gaming. I don't need to drop an extra $300 to have something that suits me fine.
the samsung 1500 is a great player.....just has to be tweaked a lil...anynet is a stupid idea, get a harmony remote, and the load times are retarded. the 2500 isn't much better... 2cents
2Wire-built MediaPoint Blockbuster movie set-top-box now on sale {Engadget HD}
Nov 25th 2008 1:44PM yes sir..netflix and xbox 360 all the way...plus they are probably going to expand quicker into the digital DLs because the hardware is already into the homes of millions of customers...all netflixs has to do is spread the word..
