Consumer Electronics - 30 November 2007

I've noticed that when playing an Xbox 360 game graphics will blur for a few seconds after loading.
For example after a cut-scene on Gears of War or Mass Effect the graphics blur for about 10 seconds, then turn normal after.
Whats up with that??? And is there any way to prevent it???

I have a GE 27 inch tv model GE 27GT616 it suddenly lost power last night and won't turn on. I tried turning it on with the button on the tv and nothing and it won't turn on with the remote. It had this color flickering in the middle of the screen for a while it was about an inch tall,then nothing. If I press the remote the tv clicks and clicks. Thanks in advance for your help.

My wife had her handbag stolen last night in Birmingham city centre. Fortunately there was not much cash in the bag, but the main concern she has is her mobile phone, which she says "had her whole life inside".

Forgive me if this obvious but I need to know, once the phone has been replaced by the insurance company, will she be able to recover her stored phone numbers which had been saved to the SIM card?

Weight is not an issue, but I can't bring a tripod. The concern is blurry pictures if I use the DSLR because both the person and the background would have to be in focus (aka large aperture number leading to a slow shutter speed) for family pics. Any tips will be appreciated =)

I am getting a Playstation 3 for Christmas but i can't decide if I want a 40GB or a 60GB. I have a Playstation 2 and PS2 games and if I get the 60GB PS3 then I will give my uncle the PS2 because it makes no sense to buy the 60GB PS3 thats plays PS2 games and have a PS2. Does the 40GB and 60GB PS3 include an Ethernet Cord with it? How much does the 60GB PS3 cost (in the United States)? And one more question can you explain to me what Wifi is on the PS3. Thanks alot.

ok, I have 1 kid asking for a PSP..another asking for an mp3 player.
Does PSP play mp3 files easily?....can I just hook up to the desktop (via USB port..?) and transfer mp3 files to the PSP?
I have over 4000 mp3 files on the computer, so I really have no need for ipod with the itunes thing.
Would the child be getting the best of all worlds by getting to play games AND play the music?
Also, PSP plays movies too..?...if so, can you download movies to memory cards and play them, or do you need to buy the movie disk?
Can you transfer info from one PSP to another?
Sorry for all the questions on this..but I am new to the tech world for my kids.
any advice on this would be great.
Looking to get a combo deal on ebay, but dont want to waste my money.
thanks

My question to u is, do you know if these two lenses are any good? will they work and autofocus with my D40???, and whats the main difference between them:

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras
Price:$99.95

and

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras
Price: $170

Whats the APO??? lol and why is it priced higher because of it???
- Do i need it?

Thank you.

this morning, it was working just fine. but when i got home, pressed the "power" button on the remote, all it's got on its screen is the channel display.
i tried pressing the "menu" button, it and the rest of the buttons on the remote won't work!
also, it's hard to turn off. if i don't shut off the power COMPLETELY from the electric cord, the LCD itself turns on and off , continuously!!!!!! HELP HELP please!!!

I would like to buy a home theater system but it cost a lot compared to my budget. My option are to assemble it buying a 5.1 channel amplifier and 5 separate speakers and a sub woofer. I'm in doubt, will it produce the same quality sound as the pre-made home theater system?
