Sky Player on Xbox 360 receives first eyes-on analysis {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 8:22AM Color me jealous. Netflix is great, but it doesn't have live TV.
Toshiba's BDX2000 Blu-ray deck hits Best Buy for $199, sour grapes also on sale {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 1:17AM Are we going to get a review of this unit any time soon?
And if we do, are we going to have to sit through a bunch of snarky Toshiba-aimed remarks as we read it?
Ask Engadget HD: How do you evaluate HDTVs in-store? {Engadget HD}
Oct 21st 2009 1:17PM I will also add that J&R in NYC (on Park Row opposite City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan) has a really great TV showroom with low lighting (except, bizarrely, the Panasonic section--yes, they have a dedicated Panasonic flat-panel section--has halogen spotlights pointed right at the TVs), so you can do a really good black-level evaluation there. I would recommend looking for a similar home-theater store in your area where you can evaluate PQ.
Ask Engadget HD: How do you evaluate HDTVs in-store? {Engadget HD}
Oct 21st 2009 1:12PM THe main thing I do in-store is change the TV to movie mode instead of "vivid" or "dynamic". I don't evaluate black levels in store (that's practically impossible with their lighting setups) but instead I evaluate color accuracy and the ability to discern detail in dark areas of the picture.

Poll: What part of your home theater is getting upgraded this holiday season? {Engadget HD}
Oct 11th 2009 3:49PM Definitely the display (I'm angling for a Panasonic TC-P42G10) and maybe also my receiver (haven't decided on one yet.)

Ninja Gaiden crosses over into ZEN Pinball {Joystiq Playstation}
Oct 5th 2009 9:31PM Any chance of a Pinball FX port for this table? I already own Pinball FX; don't want to spend more money on Zen Pinball.
Toshiba Cell Regza 55X1 and Regza Next concepts hands-on (video) {Engadget}
Oct 5th 2009 8:03AM It's still an LCD set, which means it's still crap, in my view.
Pair this cell-powered tech with a non-backlit display technology such as OLED or Plasma, and I would bite (assuming I could afford it anyways.)
