STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM 9300K, you will want to use the 6500K setting, as it should bemore accurate than 9300K (9300k may appear brighter, but everything looks overly saturated and detail lacks depth to it. Use 6500k, although it appaers less bright, you will appreaciate the more accurate picture the more you watch. Also if you can, findsome test patterns and use a color filter (you may need to use the custom settings) and adjust the brightness (with a PLUGE pattern) and contrast (Grayscale chart with a fixel pixel display or PLUGE with a CRT), and color control (SMPTE).

I wouldn't put it over Warhawk, Socom or Call of Duty, but it is one of the Better Online PS3 games and has some interesting ideas. I did wish I didn't had to sign up for a bloody Konami account just to play it. I also wished there was a true Counter Strike-esque game mode, that would give a reason for the stealth element in the gameplay.

I'm disappointed about that. But quick question, do you need the 360 Version of GTA4 to download Lost and Damned?

I doubt Valve will develop it if it is ported. Valve never was involved with the Playstation 3 port of The Orange Box, it was a EA developer company did that. Also valve did not like the PS3 development kit, with Half Life creator Gabe Newell, called the PS3 a Waste of developer's time and many anti-Playstation 3 rants. I hope that they don't cancel the possible downloadable content for Half Life: Epidsode 3.

Also I did wish they put 7.1 LPCM audio in The Orange Box.

You should go for the most accurate picture you can have. For starters, try to use a movie mode for the picture settings (or an accurate mode for that matter) and avoid modes such as sports, game, day time or dynamic, as these tend to give a picture a "punchy" look, but they look atrocious in your living room (or bed room). To make it better is to buy a calibration disc such as Digital Video Essentials (There is an Blu ray option "HD Basics") and follow the instructions for your set up, you may learn a few things about your television. If you can afford it, you can hire a proffessional calibrator to set up your tv, but for most people, it is not worth it, unless if you paid a whole lot of money on your home theater.

Counter Strike: Source, with 1080p video, 7.1 LPCM audio, and Mouse and Keyboard support (Blutooth or USB).

Plus the Myst series, such as from the first Myst, to Myst 5 : End of ages, all in 1080p and 7.1 audio.

I did liked it very much even despite some of it's problems, as it is a fine game on it's own, but it's Home Theater Heaven if you have the right equipment.

JVC DLA-RS750 1080p projector with the deepest blacks and best contrast you could buy for a consumer projector. Well, it can shoot a large screen at a size you choose. Or the Samsung SP-A900B 1080p projector, Joe Kane Approved. Too bad I don't have the money to buy these projectors (Samsung last model cost $10000, as JVC cost $8000) but I want to see these projectors in action. And yes, it shoots... very nice picture quality.
