I am winning these speakers!!!
I am winning this one!
If your problem is that the Xbox is too noisy...
Just download the Xbox 360's games to the hard drive and play them from there. I will be virtually noiseless and save you time and money.

I bought the Moxi HD DVR two months ago and I absolutely LOVE it! I have had 2 DVRs provided by Comcast for around 5 years and there is no comparison at all. In the review by Engadget it clearly shows they have not spent a lot of time learning the controls to figure out the buttons and the menus. Actually the picture is better than the old DVR Scientific Atlanta that Comcast provided. The proof of this is Transformers, I get way less pixel problems.
The reason why the menus do not provide a sort option is because it groups the shows by name; therefore a date sort option does not apply.
If you do not record a lot of shows, do not buy it. If you do record a lot of shows, do yourslef a favor and get the Moxi. I got tired of paying my Cable provider $200 per year in dvr rental for something they refuse to improve. Many people complain of the old school grid style view. I like Moxi because you can see way more channels at the same time instead of the 5 if I remember correctly. As I said, I use it a lot and there are TONS of advantages and a Great user experience. So far no problems, no boots. Nothing but a great experience
Plasma?
Why not LED?I have a Sony 55XBR8 and I can tell you that it surpasses plasma big time.
I can see this TV being bought by rich people who do not have any clue about technology and who will only buy it because of the price and will barely use it

I got a MOXI two days ago:

PROS:
WAY better interface and experience. No comparison. The review from Engadget is off in some points. For example, YES there is an INFO buttom. If you press INFO twice.

CONS
The free software you get so you can play NETFLIX in it works only in PC. I own a MAC,
and since Paul Allen is behind MOXI, I really doubt there will be the necessary support for MAC or IPHONE management.
This means that the chances that I will be still using the xbox 360 to play Netflix are still high.

You will love the Moxi. Many complain about the price tag. I have been paying pay $15.97 per month for a horrible SA HD DVR box for the last three years. This is $575 already.
They are replacing it with something newer, since they started in some markets already. and guess what the new box, that still looks like a VCR, horrible interface with slight disc capacity increase.

Absolutely, in some years DVR will be obsoletes for the people that want complete integration and their PC in the living room, but until then I will have saved some hundreds of dollars from my rental fees.
Cool, I love South Park!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
