this is usb, for a pc, right?

Some of the DVDs in my collection (store-bought TV series, a few movies, etc) are scratched and have marks on them. Most are hardly noticeable (except for when I hold them under a light and look waaaay more closely than a normal person would) but some are more deep. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good way to fix them? I have the gamestop disc scrach filling gel and the cloths, but the cloth scratches the disc, the gel doesnt work that great. Also, since most of the damages i see are minor, I know they probably won't play any less than perfect- but just so i can sleep better at night- is there a program of some sort that can read the whole disc and report back any errors? Like, since I'm able to run the disc through DVD Decrypter and it copies without errors- is that good indication that the disc will play 100%? anyone that can offer any help would be appreciated. thanks

perfect segue into my telling the famous 'karate monkey' joke... if it werent older than time itself...

i find this hysterical... now the neighboring hotels' prices are going to drop!

any midgets in it?

Anyone know why I get this? I burned a number of DVD-DL's using Nero 6 and a couple different drives and speeds, and every few discs randomly, not from the same hardware, gave me an error copying the information to my hdd. These discs are still pricey;( Any help? thanks!

i saw it on yahoo or msn today at lunch;) not till 2008 tho hehe...

cool...

1000 american?

i love the idea, but i dont know how appropriate it is for here, this being a mag site... I saw gamemanuals.net i think, but i didnt know the stuff there was so low-res. I have hundreds of games, and i might actually get rid of some, but id defintely be up for making an online collection of hi-res boxes, manuals, extras, posters, etc. when i get time.. something that'll preserve stuff as close to original quality as possible.

HAHAHAHA

item not found....lol

the Zelda cartoons were released a while back, also... its sitting on my shelf now;)

doesn't even look like the nintendo gear's the reason....

Does anyone else have problems with the casino? Twice i played a poker game that was working fine, and now it wont cash out- I lost more than 1000 between the two nights... Once I clicked 'back' by mistake, and the casino knew i didnt clear out, offered to do so, but doesnt count my score.. just zeros it out... anyone know how to fix either of these? the second thing i know they warn you to cash out, but still, if it knows you didnt, why not store what you had also? and if the cash out button does nothing, or freezes a game... well wtf wit that? any ideas?

cool... id like to hear that old cd myself;) forgot all about it...

i remember that one! ahh the good ol' days...

err on the side of caution/safety... get the rack just my opinion, id do that if you could afford it

i'm still happy to see the originals released- but that SUCKS.. I think I'll stick to my laserdisc transfers too, if these arent better quality- one day I"ll miss it when i get a good TV and such. I'm almost willing to bet that in a few years (maybe once a HD-DVD standard is made) they'll be released again... you can't swear to never release something again when new technologies pop up every five minutes. It's like 10% of dvds released are even worth the money to buy them... but im not gonna rant about syndicated TV shows, censored episodes, etc, here and now... I'll save it for a more relevant post;)

i can't view the page... gives me the digg heading, but the a blank page. Is anyone else having problems with it now?

awesome thanks.. im gonna check 'em out this afternoon when i get some time. you mentioned in the tv section looking at the combo tv/monitors at officemax etc. Since I'm using a PC for a media center, are there any benefits to get a combo tv/monitor?

budget- I'd like to keep it under $1200 if i could...of course, the less i spend, the better;) for what i want out of it, im sure thats a high budget.. what i want out of it- well, i'd love a 56" plasma, but i don't wanna get crazy, bc after 6 or 12 months, its my plan to move back into my parents house... and a shoebox of a room... and a 56" plasma wouldnt fit in unless half of it hung out the window;) im lookin for around 30-40 inches, and something not too deep/heavy. I think a 16:9 would be good. If its not an HDTV, i can live- at the new place I won't even have HD..not planning on an HD-DVD till they work out thier compatibility etc and come down in price... i'd rather go for quality than just size. I was in bestbuy for a minute today, and noticed 2 TVs- the DLP one was smaller, but more $, and the picture looked brigher and better than the tv next to it. Even if anyone can just suggest what type to look for, i can figure out size once i move in and see what space i have empty.. just dont wanna buy some old technology or shitty technology, and i have to admit, i havent kept up with tv technology at all;(

Well, im gonna need something to connect to my new tv... so if anyone can suggest where to get a chasis and parts that'll fit it, or any ideas on what to do? I was hoping to get a vcr- shaped/sized box, but I saw some pretty cool HP really-small tower PCs that look good too... anyone have any ideas? thanks -Jason

I'm moving into an apartment for a new job out of town, and I think i wanna get a really cool TV for the living room! Can anyone give me any opinions, ideas, advice on what type to buy, where to get a good deal, etc etc? thanks!

cool... so where these games on a commercial system, or just never realeased? i skimmed the article, but didnt really ever know much about cd-i....
