Blu-ray player recommendations? I'd like one that I could view streaming movies through with the most flexibility. (Amazon, etc) -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 11:05 12
- I am going to need one too. One thing I know to look out for is boot and startup times. -- nm - GregW Jun 2, 12:50
- Give me 60-90 minutes. -- nm - David, Treachery Specialist Jun 2, 11:18 7
  - Do we like this one? -- (link) - Dano Jun 2, 11:28 6
    - No, that model is rather famously flawed. I would avoid it. What is your price range? -- nm - David Jun 2, 11:38 5
      - I was trying to cap it at $100 but from what I'm seeing it looks like if I want built in WiFi I may have to up that to $150 cap. -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 11:41 3
        
        The one I linked is $129. WiFi plus smart adds is hard to find for much less than $100. Let me look for a minute. -- nm - David Jun 2, 11:42 2
        
        I think that will work. I was looking at the BDT320 which I think is just the 3D (which I don't need) version of that. -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 11:44 1
        
        And I actually can pick this up today from Best Buy for the same price. -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 11:47
      - If it's within your budget, this is the unit I recommend. -- (link) - David Jun 2, 11:40
- Get a black one. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 11:13 2
  - They're not all blue? That's false marketing! -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 11:16 1
    - Only the rays are blue. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 11:19
Nubby! Got the 1st King! I think I actually stand a decent chance at the double run & chessmaster! -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 09:09 5
- cheesemaster: what I read -- nm - peglegpete Jun 2, 10:16
- Aaaarrrrrrgh - it BOUNCED ME! How do I stay after the king? Disarm checkmate until 2nd one is caught then re-arm it? -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 09:15 3
  - NVM CT msgd me the answer - back to try again (sigh) -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 09:53 2
    - Why am I talking to myself? - Jenbro si Jun 2, 10:11 1
      - LOL - MH lyc obvie :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 11:27

    - Poor TFox if thats why he comes here for is your witty humor :) -- nm - eag Jun 2, 10:19
  - WE WERE ON A BREAK!!! -- nm - Ross Jun 2, 10:06
I have never come closer to crying (tears of joy) because of a sporting event than last night - musubi Jun 2, 08:49 7
- Mets fans weep too much. -- nm - David Jun 2, 08:58 3
  - perhaps, but those are usually a different kind of tears (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 10:29 2
    - Meh, it wasn't a no-hitter anyway. MLB desperately needs instant replay. - David, Treachery Specialist Jun 2, 11:04 1
      - We'll get it over Selig's dead body. Any takers? -- nm - Krusty Jun 2, 11:43
- But you didn't? - Spawn Jun 2, 08:50 2

      - Yes and no. That is my biggest complaint of the the DC Bond movies. Before his, the Bond movies stuck with me. - Spawn Jun 2, 08:57 1
        
        I never cared for Bond movies, but I like this new batch. Probably cause they're more Bourne than Bond. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 10:46
Heh, someone's holding a yard sale on the grass in front of my unit - something I've been afraid to do 'cause it might piss off the neighbors :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 2, 08:38 4
- Now that they've broken it in, go for it! I love holding yard sales. Not so much going to them. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 08:44 2
  - Seriously? My fav is Estate sales - love seeing what others acumulate during the course of their lives. :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 09:01 1
    - I guess what I end up finding I'm not as interested in as getting rid of my own crap. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 09:05
