I still have my 360 HD DVD drive in the closest somewhere.]]>Jun 25th 2009 4:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/Jun 25th 2009 4:23PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/AAC file size: 50.4 MB

Also one of the best selling video games this generation is Mario Cart for the Wii with a steering wheel. No force feed back there. You just hold a fake wheel in the air. So I think that Natal has a good chance of being a popular control scheme with racing games. Maybe not accurate but popular.

See guys Big Sam is backing me up on the long battery life of the PS3 bluetooth remote.]]>Jun 25th 2009 5:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/

No offense to Ben, but I wonder if his perspective on Moxi is a little bit unforgiving in comparison to the average person who is comparing it to a cable/satellite DVR.

And you guys are way to sensitive about this Harrass poll. I mean three stories about one poll makes it look like it struck a nerve.

Your Rent-Rip-Return(R^3) scenario is all fine and dandy until you stop to ask if the studios are really going to be happy with the $10 price point you bandied about during the podcast. Let's see, the discs are going for an average street of $25-$28 and in your model those sales of discs are converted to a $10 sale of a digital copy of the disc. Even if the studios decided to discount all of the savings of making an actual disc and getting it to you, I doubt they would look at a price point below $20. We have seen in the past the studios are not capable of looking past their current revenue stream.

I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for mainstream adoption of these technologies, like movie jukeboxes. But given their history that light is most likely a train.

I will stick to AnyDVDHD for my fair use needs, I have no problem populating my movie jukebox right now. Or if I wanted to executing your R^3 scenario. This whole escapade shows that the movie studios have not learned a thing from the music industry's failures. Why will history not repeat itself again?]]>Jun 26th 2009 12:37PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/Jun 27th 2009 11:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/
I just got LG BD390 and figured I would give you a few thoughts for the collective wisdom "databank".

1. I was concerned that I would not get enough "bang for my buck" since I have 32" LCD and do not have surround of any kind. I got the BD390 anyway for the Netflix and media streaming, but was very surprised that the HD quality of the BluRay was very, very noticeable even on a smaller screen compared to upscaled DVD. So, if it comes up, let folks know that a smaller screen DOES still benefit from BluRay.

2. I have a wireless N router, but the quality meter showing on the BD390 was only about 3/4 full. Still, the YouTube and Netflix streaming was solid, even the HD. I have not tried a huge MKV over the media server yet, but I would just imagine a bit longer buffer time to start.

3. The HD choices in Netflix watch instantly SUCKS!!!! :0) Let us all pray to Netflix Gods that they make some better deals for HD streaming.]]>Jun 29th 2009 12:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/25/engadget-hd-podcast-143-06-25-2009/
When you guys change topics to a new Engadget post or news story, can you summarize the content or idea of the story before giving your thoughts. I don't always see every post, so often have no idea what you are giving you opinion on. I think it would make the presentation a bit more fluid and clear.

Thanks!]]>Jun 29th 2009 2:21PM
