Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
I've always been a Nintendo fan and think that the Wii could be the first game console since the SNES that I would regularly play, but nowadays I am much more of an HD fan. 90% of what I watch is in HD, and I love watching HD movies and TV. I haven't made the jump on HD-DVD or Blu-ray despites being clicks away several times on amazon for the HD-DVD player. Then I began to do the math of the upcoming electronics I wanted:
Apple TV: $299
Nintendo Wii: $250
HD-DVD Player: $380 (That was the price when I was about to buy it)
That's $929!!!! I don't understand why people complain about the PS3, it is a great deal for the price and now I really want to get the PS3, even if I'll mainly use it for Blu-Ray and the media center. Sony has really missed the marketing boat on this one. I will probably get a Wii and if Apple comes out w/ a Blu-Ray equipped AppleTV I'll be all over it, but for now the best deal going is really the PS3! Who would have thunk it.. Does anyone have any experience w/ the PS3 interface, like how easy is it to make playlists? What about moving an iTunes organized music collection over?
