Consumer Electronics - 11 December 2006

I was looking at a new HDTV with 1080p. My initial idea was to get the sony 60" SXRD Rear Projection HDTV with max 1080p resolution, however the sales person at Best Buy told me that an LCD with a 720p res will be much better quality than the SXRD rear projection HDTV with 1080p. IS that true, if not do i sacrifice alot of quality by going with a 1080p rear projection vs 720p or even 1080p LCD. The guy sold me a 1080p 52" LCD from Samsung for 5113$ after taxes, while i could get a 60 inch Sony SXRD with 1080p for 3k$ after taxes. That's bigger and alot cheaper. I don't care too much about mounting. However if my picture quality will be the same of a 720p lcd, i'd rather keep the LCD i bought, if not, i'd like to save the 2k and get the SXRD. Thank you.

I am very frustrated with Nintendo and what appears to be their intentional unavailability of the wii game system. Does anyone know if the game console willl become more available before Christmas? Stores are only receiving 6 - 7 systems per shipment. Several months ago I read where the wii game system would be plentiful.

Will a Xbox from the UK work here (United States)? I bought one without thinking that it actually mattered. It's suppose to be for my son for Christmas. A friend of mine told me that if it's from the UK it won't work in the US. With Christmas coming soon & it being shipped soon I need to know if I can make this work. Please help!

I have a Verizon wireless cell phone from LG and I have almost a full text message mailbox. I need to save these messages to my Mac computer for legal reasons. It can't be just the message part but it has to include who sent it and everything. Please someone help me.

When looking at applications on Get it Now on your phone if it says for example: "$9.99 subscription" does that mean it is a monthly charge or a one time fee to download the application?? Thanks!

I'm on my high school's yearbook staff, so I take a lot of pictures of different things.
What kind of camera is good for sports and candid shots (short delay), and also close-up, good quality stuff?
Additionally, what would be the best choice for durability? I always have my camera with me; I use it for more than just yearbook.
Various brand and model examples would help me out a ton. Thanks in advance!

Aren't you just purchasing a stand alone unit? Is there an extra signal being sent that requires a service charge? Am I misunderstanding something about this? Why pay monthly? I'm not paying monthly for my dvd player or vcr, so why these items? Can someone explain this to me? Can I purchase a DVR off of ebay and get away without paying monthly charges?
