Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Old movies that I already have DVDs for that I watch over and over, I will buy Blu-Ray versions as soon as they come out. There is enough of a difference between upscaling DVDs and Blu-Ray, for me to go ahead with Blu-Ray. I won't go over board with Blu-Ray though, probably rent new movies on Blu-Ray before actually buying my own copy.
