    Pioneer Builds Blu-ray Disc at 400 GB

    Ditto, I was thinking the very same thing, making these types of discs (if they can be done in mass) virtually "un-rentable". Following the money...eghhh not gonna happen.

    Monster Cable Sues Baby Clothing Store MonsterRepublic.com

    Making mention of a company who is doing bad things isn't going to help them in some twisted publicity campaign. If it were helping then would the open letter have been necessary and found its way to Audioholics? They looked bad then and now even worse after doing the very types of things Noel...

    Games Prove Content is King

    New artists have little incentive, with distribution not being the obstacle it once was, to have to deal with all the b.s. So independent labels seem the way of the future and maybe just maybe these are the kinds of labels that will become more innovative and start changing the paradigms we've...

    Beware Amazon Sellers!!! Spread the word.

    more to add I was just discussing this with a friend, and found it quite amusing the hypocrisy of Amazon's policy. Amazon virtually assumes buyers will send via USPS 1st class/Priority or Media Mail based on the shipping credit they provide you. (USPS is the least expensive method for small...

    Beware Amazon Sellers!!! Spread the word.

    typo Thanks for your responses. Just for clarification that last sentence should read "simply not enough protection for sellers."

    Beware Amazon Sellers!!! Spread the word.

    I've used Amazon to sell books, movies and cds without incident for several years. As matter of fact I've always enjoyed great success with their 3rd party selling system. No more. I have turned 180 degrees on them in a heartbeat. Let me explain why. After mailing out an order for a SACD I...

    GTA IV - The Game Behind the Hype

    Not a 10 I keep seeing these 10 ratings for this game, and just don't see it. There's way too many obvious things wrong with the game for it to receive that type of rating. Whenever you have control issues, it's ever present. So it's not like you can some how avoid the problems and still enjoy...

    Understanding Monster

    The response to the Monster & Blue Jeans legal dispute has been tremendous here at Audioholics, and that's all very cool, but it has made me stop for pause when thinking about Monster from a broader perspective. Just what is going on within the walls at Brisbane? Well we know from Clint's...

    Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Explosive Hit For Ubisoft

    The short of it. I've played through the game a couple of times already. RSV2 is very much like the original. In fact I'd say it feels like an expansion pack with slightly better graphics. The visual improvements are primarily in areas of sharpness and saturation, but detail is still crude and...

    Getting Irked about Release Dates!!!

    bugs me too I'm no expert on the subject, but here are some things I've witnessed first hand when buying for my 360: 1. Big titles expecting lots of sales volume arrive on specific dates and often have 12:01 AM sales events at store locations that would otherwise be closed. 2. Gamestop...

    Army of Two Game Review

    I played through this game in co-op and single player. It has excellent graphics, better than almost any game I've played. I agree the sound is a little skewed at times based on your position relative to certain terrain and opponents, but not so much so that I was confused or anything, just sort...

    Axiom Audio W3 Speakers Installation Video

    Gene, Interesting, sort of like a large mud plate, yet for speakers. Just curious what you did to cover up the small holes you had the speaker cable coming through initially. Noticed they were covered with something just above the speaker, but couldn't tell what you did there.

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    I feel its actually more useful to allow the speakers to stand on their own for a number of reasons. Also how can you remain objective if you supplement a bookshelf with a sub? Then you won't know precisely where the bass is coming from. Having them stand alone helps you better discern design...

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    Maybe you should reread the review, I'm sure I remember this being discussed repeatedly, for each speaker, and with qualifications if you were using a sub.

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    EDIT: Tried Posting this yesterday and it ended up in an entirely different thread, weird. In my opinion this is, to date, the penultimate review written by Audioholics staffers. To me it reaffirmed what I've always felt to be true: Their is no best, only different. It also confirms that at...

    Speaker selection Help (NEWBIE)

    In my opinion this is, to date, the penultimate review written by Audioholics staffers. To me it reaffirmed what I've always felt to be true: Their is no best, only different. It also confirms that at $1800/pr for speakers you still haven't reached a minuscule difference in quality over less...

    HALO 3 4player CO OP

    My 2 pennies It is cool that they decided to do a four player campaign, that will be the main reason I buy it. Though, I've played the Halo 3 beta and its just way too much like 2 for me to get excited about it. One of those games I'd rather play with friends only as there is way too many...

    RBH Sound TK-5CT Floorstanding Speaker Review

    Nice Review Tom Hey, nice review Tom. I had a question on the aesthetics. You say in the summary they have average aesthetics, but from the photos they really look pretty nice (particularly with speakers of a like cost). Just wondering what you would improve on, along those lines. Thanks, hopjohn
