Does anyone know the difference between the retail US and the Asian version of Burnout Paradise?

On Play-Asia, the US and Japanese versions are both US$64.90 (INR Rs. 2,580), while the Asian version is a cool US$49.90 (INR Rs. 1,984). While that may not seem like too big a difference, it wouldn't make sense to pay more for the US version if the Asian one is gonna have the same content.

Do you guys have any info on this?

I'm gonna pre-order this, but I just need to know if there's any difference. It would be nice if someone would shed some light on this...

How are PS2 and 1 games on the PS3?

I've watched a vid before of a PS2 game being played on the PS3 with the other half of the screen being played on PS2 itself. Comparing it shows that it's washed out and crappier on the PS3.

Then I've read it's been fixed in the newer releases of the console. Can someone please confirm this? I want to know if we can play PS2 games on PS3 at least as good as the PS2 does. And also, how about the PS1 games?

I'm interested to play the following PS2/1 games on it: Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Xenosaga games, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, etc.

Need help from someone who knows Denons and Onkyo Receivers?

I have a Denon AVR 3803 and I just inherited a Onkyo TX-DS696. I know the Denon has more power and is 7.1 instead of 5.1. I'm wondering which to use to as my main receiver for my plasma, dvd, and time warner cable box. My cable and plasma support HDTV. Which unit would be best for HDTV and for the best quality sound?

I only have 5 speakers currently so the 7.1 of the denon doesn't make too much difference.

Which Home Theatre reciever should I get?

I know these aren't the best out there(far from it) I just want to buy my son a basic Home Theatre reciever.

The Sony:
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665061593

The Yamaha: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=552126&CTID=5000400&ATRID=1000&DETYP=ATTRIBUTE

He told me he's gonna mostly listen to music on it, he wants clean sound, and low frequencies for his subwoofer.

Thanks.

Do you think the store will accept my Zune if I try returning it? READ THE FULL QUESTION BEFORE U ANSWER!!!!?

Ok, here goes. It's my birthday today. I got money, and I decided to buy a Zune. I got home, got it out, and downloaded the software. It doesn't work. All theparts are still together and it looks brand new. It has some finger print marks on it and you can sort of tell that it's been opened. Do you think the store will take it back, as long as I don't tell them that I opened it? I hate to lie, but I say that if they sell me a crappy product and I spend 6 hours trying to get it work, then they owe me!

Help with TV Hookup?

I just got a 34 inch HDTV Toshiba from a friend (it does NOT have the hdmi hookups in the back, just so you know). The problem is, I have so many other electronics that have to hook up to my tv that I dont know how to connect my s-video wire from my digital box to my tv. I will not be getting HDTV until next year so I was advised by a store rep to get an s video cable to make my picture a little better for watching my tv shows. I currently have connected to my tv: a vcr, wii, a ps2, a surround sound dvd player (not hd) and my digital box. When I tried connecting the s video cable from my digital box to my tv, the image came out worse. what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
