Elisabeth, in respect to the fox staff not letting you in late, does it really matter if the theater was full or not? Should I have to deal with someone interrupting a special event with a late entrance only if the theater is not near capacity? I don't understand your reasoning. I understand that we all have days where everything is piling up against us, but in a time when people have less and less courtesy at a an event that costs more and more to attend, I really wish they would enforce a no late entry rule for the movies. I guess I would sympathize if you had paid for the ticket, but this was a free event with no special concern for press. Regardless of your opinion, this was a "special event" and you did not keep up your end of the deal for admittance. The room being full or not should not play into your complaint.

I personally could not get past the server crashes that day and could not get into any of the Orange County screenings. I was disappointed but I half expected that.

woo-hoo!

cool!

awesome!

woo-hoo!

me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

my nokia n82 is aching for this!

I'm looking to upgrade in this price range as well and I think i'm going to go for the Onkyo 706 or 806. They have 4 or 5 hdmi ins, offer DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD decoding, and both are THX (select for 706 and ultra2 for 806) certified. I know it's kind of a laughable stamp these days but I really do like the THX Cinema Re-EQ which tames some of that high end treble on movie soundtracks. I haven't experienced it myself but I'm also looking forward to Audessy Dynamic EQ to fill out the sound at lower volumes. You can get the 806 for just over $600 and the 706 is a little under if you shop around online.
