Re: 8800 gt akimbo vs. 8800 gts KO

A gts (g92) will average 5-10% (max 14%) higher performance over a gt (g92) .

Re: Netflix to Offer High-Definition DVDs Only in Blu-Ray Format

Yeh , Iam debating on returning my A3 to CC ($100.04) . As as upcovert player its great though , as I have 400+ SD movies atm . Its just hard to give Sony any $$$ (imo) , and who knows what the future price(s) of BR will be . Most think it will go down sooner then later , but this is Sony we are tal...

Re: Netflix to Offer High-Definition DVDs Only in Blu-Ray Format

Oh the pain of having Sony win out . Personaly I think down the road the consumer is really going to get hurt by Blu-Ray winning the format war ; as the Sony will have free reign to do as they please (DRM , Copy-protection , etc) .
