This is the one I was looking for: http://www.schmartstuff.com/

Here's another: http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=113

 

Just thought some of you might want to check this out. Harmony 880 for $93.

They actually just got that one in at Best Buy, and I thought about buying it, but nobody there could confirm that it'd work with the Harmony remotes or not. Today I checked it out in Logitech's setup utility, and they do specifically mention that their remotes work to control the PS3 when used with the Nyko Blu-Wave.

It's only $20 at Best Buy.

 

My motherboard has a two pin s/pdif header whose specific purpose is to feed an HDMI video card digital audio. Does your video card have an s/pdif input?

Watched Cloverfield and Ratatouille(sp?) tonight. I had seen neither of the films beforehand. Cloverfield was a terrible movie, but had an occasional burst of sonic goodness. Ratatouille was incredible in both sight and sound.

 

Skip,

Sorry to hear you didn't like Cloverfield. I was pleasently surprised by it. If you can get beyond the characters you want the monster to kill immediately (be patient, he gets them all) the first person perspective shooting actually works, it pulled me into the story and I actually had a couple of nightmares after seeing it. I'd give it 4 stars (out of 5).

 

Yea, personally I thought Cloverfield was incredible for story telling. I bet you didn't like Blair Witch Project either (first one)

 

I certainly didn't like the first Blair Witch. Those kids were idiots. Anyone who has ever done any hiking or orienteering could have found their way right out of those woods. There was even a river/creek they could have followed, but they were too busy running in circles and getting snot on the camera.

 

So this weekend we watched Die Hard With a Vengance and also the new Rambo movie. Both looked pretty darn good in 1080/24p.

 

I wasn't expecting much from the actual movie as I purchased it because it was said to be "reference quality" audio. I actually liked the first BW movie. Loved how it was so different at the time.

Cloverfield's intro was so shockingly slow that it really tainted my perception for the rest of the movie. I kept listening for incredible audio, but while good, it never floored me. As it turns out, the 3808 may not have had db levels adjusted properly. I ran the Audyssey calibration at all 5 listening locations, but never went back to adjust output levels. That may be why I was not feeling the entire effect of the tracks. Once I have it worked out, I'll revisit the movie.

Btw, how the hell does a monster that destroys massive skyscrapers have the ability to pick up a human singularly by using his mandible and then throw the body to the ground in such a way that the two remaining people actually question if said individual is still alive? And face unscathed?!

Did anyone else think the "offspring" of the creature reminded them of those spider-crickets that are completely harmless, but freaky looking?
