plasma is the only way to go. Burn in is an issue with craptastic plasmas from Samsung. I use my Pioneer plasma for gaming and it's been almost a year of use without any hint of burn-in whatsoever. LCD is great for static images and if you sit right smack in the middle. Once you introduce...

I bought an M3 DS Simply with fw 1.03 installed back in 2007. However, it no longer plays newer games. Can anybody please point me out to the newest firmware and post how to isntall the FW without losing any of my game saves? Thank you beforehand.

This is absolutely true. My friend's wife had a C-section at Scarborough Grace Hospital but due to some complications she couldn't get the health card yet (approved, but not in posession yet) and she was given $6,000 bill for the C section and $2,000 for the 2 nights at the hospital. This...

if you use UPS EXPRESS (which sometimes cheaper than USPS, plus the fact that it's superfast) you WILL NOT have to pay brokerage fee. USPS have brokerage fee but it's charged ONLY IF you have to pay the taxes. The brokerage fee for USPS/Canada Post is $6.95 plus taxes.

amazon.com is still the absolute cheapest place. No PST/GST/import tax too since the ship locally from Mississauga. (yes, .COM ships from Mississauga; don't go to .CA because their pricing is crazy high)

I second Cobster's recommendation of Pioneer receiver. I exclusively use Pioneer receivers and amps (only the MOSFET kind) for my entire house and studios.

Windows already snuck in the WGA program several months ago and now it wants to install the WGA again. What's the difference between this WGA and the previous WGA?

I just did, they told me "it can't be done, you'll have to repurchase everything". I'm sure there is a way, but they just want to squeeze more of my money. I've repurchased shit from Rogers when I upgraded from V600 to V635 to V3 (total expenditure almost $400). I'm not spending another $100+...

That's what I thought too. In the end, however, it only backs up phone numbers, ringtones, wallpapers, settings, and games that were NOT purchased from Rogers. :mad:

I currently own a V3 with shitloads of purchased games, ringtones and wallpapers (all purchased from Rogers). Now I want to upgrade my phone to V3t. Is there any way I can transfer the purchased stuff to the new phone? I can't even backup the purchased ringtones and wallpapers (using MPT 4)...

DVDFabDecrypter to exctract ANY movie (freeware) DVD Shrink 3.2 to extract most movies AND to re-compress any movie for SL DVD-R. (also a freeware) I suggest, try getting rid of all the unneeded special features (just back up the movie only) so you don't have to compress as much.

laptop burner works due to burner being positioned horizontally. Try this experiment. Burn movie DVD on your laptop while holding and jarring the laptop in a vertical position, you'll easily get about 20% failure rate on the outer part of the DVD. At any rate, you don't want to have ANY...

DVD camcorder that uses 5" discs: doesn't exist. Reasons: Too much wobble produced when burning in the outer portion of the disc. To make the camcorder fits in (most) people's palm.

PS: VidiEdit know what he's talking about. Either that or both VidiEdit and myself are in the wrong business for years.

Ummm, how's MPEG at max 9 Mbps (for DVD standard) can be better than DV (at a constant 25 Mbps)? MPEG is NOT better than DV. MPEG is IN FACT worse than DV. If you can't see the difference in picture quality, then good for you.
