I was at Walmart last night, and I saw a Sanyo VPC-X1400BL digital camera that said it makes 720p movie clips. I was wondering if anyone has this camera and could tell me if the movie clips are good quality. How many minutes of HD movie will fit on a 8 GIG HD card.

If no one has this camera, what is a good camera that makes good 720p movies for under $200?

Everytime I get into the elevator to leave the Mines area and start to head to the surface, the game just closes itself. Then, I get a message that says, "Fatal Application Closing: unrecognized compression format". Any thoughts or ideas?

Just on a side note, I can't believe my PC runs this game. I have a dual core 2.66GHz with a GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card, and I can run the game at 1440x900 with no problem at all. I guess it must be good programming or something, because Red Faction Guerrilla runs like a slide show at 800x600 with every setting on low or off. The same thing is true with Velvet Assassin. Yet, I can run Prototype at maximum settings at 1024x768. I don't know why they didn't include resolutions higher than that. I also don't know why my piece of junk card with run some games and not others.

I'm having problems with my Elite that's only 1 year old. Every game I put in freezes up after a few minutes. When I turn the console back on, it either freezes up on the dashboard, or I get a black screen, or I get a hardware failure message. Luckily, I bought a 3 year warranty, so I'll be calling them tomorrow. It's just a hassle having to go through this once a year. I hope they replace mine with the newer chips and the quieter disk drive.

So you basically HAVE to use the backup utility? You can't just recover your profile, account, and settings by logging in after you put in the new hard drive? I can't use the backup thing because my external drive won't format to FAT32. Plus, I have 100 Gigs of stuff backed up from my PC to my external, and I don't want to have to erase all that and re-copy everything. I already have all my saves copied to my PC.

No, you don't have to use it. It's just (in a lot of cases) more convenient and less headache. As I said, some games either prohibit copying the save file or key their saves specifically to the user (not just PSN ID) that created it. Say you just create a new profile with the new hard drive in place, but the profile's name differs from what you had before, then those certain saves will not work as the game will only let the original user play them. It's not cool to lose a gamesave that you spent 100+ hours on. You can do just fine w/o using the utility; you just have to remember to name profiles exactly the same as it was before, and concede to the fact that you'll lose whichever saves are copy locked.

I hate to be a bother again, but why do you have to create a whole new account? Isn't there a option to recover or re-activate a existing profile/account?

My Elite that I've only had for a year is messing up bad now. This is my second one to have hardware failure. The console will usually turn on, but everytime I put a game in and start playing, the whole thing freezes up. When I turn the console off and back on again, I either get a hardware failure message, or the dashboard freezes up, or I get a red light on #4. I know it's just a matter of time before it dies completely.

I don't know if I'm even going to bother having it fixed. It makes me mad knowing that I'm going to have to send it in to be fixed once a year. I think I'm going to put a 500 Gig hard drive in my PS3 and stick with that. My PS3 has worked perfectly for 4 years without even a single freeze up.

So you basically HAVE to use the backup utility? You can't just recover your profile, account, and settings by logging in after you put in the new hard drive? I can't use the backup thing because my external drive won't format to FAT32.

I had the RROD on mine a year ago. They sent me a new one, and I traded it in for a Elite. 2 days ago, I got the RROD on my Elite that's only a year old. When it happened, I unpluged it, took the hard drive out, and blew the dust off of everything. When I put the hard drive back in and plugged up the 360, it worked again somehow. However, all my games freeze up after about 10 minutes of play. I think it's about to die for good. If it dies, I'm going to be done with the 360. I don't want to have to get it replaced once a year. I'll just put a 500 Gig hard drive in my PS3 and stick with that.

M'kay, the only thing I really care about transferring over is my gamesaves, which I already have copied to a SD card. So, when you put the new hard drive in the PS3, can you recover your profile, account, and system settings, or do you have to back up all that and the OS too? In other words, am I going to have to go back and reset all those video, audio, system, etc. settings to where I want them? Also, will the PS3 automatically format the drive to FAT32, or do I have to do that myself somehow? I've heard about some people putting in new hard drives and the PS3 not recognizing it. I want the Seagate 500 Gig, but I can only find one at 7200 RPM. Will that overheat or damage the PS3?

That's the main thing I don't like about my XBox 360. We have to use their special made, rediculously overpriced first party hard drives, and it doesn't look like they will be making anything above 120 Gigs. They won't even make a memory card over 512MB. I also hate not being able to transfer saves, music, pics, and movies back and forth from my PC with a SD card, and not being able to download other people's saves.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried it, and if it will mess up the Wii. I want to order the newer Action Replay that doesn't use the memory card. Also, does the Wavebird controller work on the Wii?

OK, I finished the game on Easy. Then, I went to Chapter Select, started with Chapter 1, and chose Hard as the difficulty. I just read somewhere that if you finish a game that already has trophies and treasures, you won't get the trophy for finishing on a higher difficulty. Is this true? I'm already to the Mountaineering level on Hard. Have I done all that for nothing?

Are you supposed to create a new save file for each difficulty with it's own set of treasures, medals, and trophies? That doesn't make sense though because there is not enough money to buy everything in the store unless you have all 3 gold trophies and the platinum trophy.
