Consumer Electronics - 13 December 2007

My dvd player just gave in and I am thinking of replacing it with a dvd home theater system. I would really appreciate some suggestions.
I don't want to blow my roof off, I just want better sound than what my tv provides at the moment. I don't care for extra frills and dials. In my quick research I read that a reciever is important and for it to be surround 5.1 at least with dolby digital and/or DTS (whatever that means-not exactly elecktro smart)
I have a $400-$500 budget.
Are these things compatable with most tvs? mine is almost 3 years old but not a flat screen plasma type.

I know there's gotta be some sort of small, compact, and easy to use device to make notes to myself. I want it to be digital, no little tape recorders like in my college days. I'd like to get one fairly cheap, not over $50. Does anybody out there have any ideas? I need help for this one badly. I'm on the go and that seems to be when I remember things I need to do! And if I'm without one of my kids/secretaries I need some sort of back up! Thanks

I have just bought an 80GB PS3 and am wondering if I should hook it up to my HDTV with HDMI or component cables. I own a 37" Vizio, LCD HDTV (1080i) and I can't decide which ones to buy and I don't want to spend $100 on anything that could be nearly as good for $40...some help?

I've heard rumors that it will be Jan. 1. Is that when they're shipping out and you can't get them until Jan. 2. Or can you walk in the store and get one.

My ps3 gets highly warm after about 90 mins of play. It is usually at the back top corner of the console, when I touch it's not usually very hot but hot. I don't have a warranty, so is this normal.
PS: sometimes( once in a while)the games get stuck and I have to restart it (mostly demos) is that normal too.

I have a new Pioneer DVD player, but I also still have a Pioneer Laserdisc player, because some of the stuff I have on LD is not available on DVD. But whenever I use my remote control for my DVD player, it also tries to work on the LD player. So when I'm watching a movie on DVD, anything I do (power, play, skip, etc) also affects LD player, which I want to leave off at that time. Is there a way to make it NOT recognize the remote?

Why is there a bid for a new LG Voyager over $700 when you can get one brand new for around $300 through Verizon.... Are people really that insane to spend that much?

I love Socom but after I got my PS3 I dont know what else is similar in terms of control and shooter type. I dont even know what a 1st, 2nd and 3rd person shooter like, but I like how Socom is..
I got the 80G by the way if that matters.

Im getting a PS3 80gb for Christmas. I'll admit I have not looked into this system at all. Is it a lot of upkeep as far as software and viruses? Whats this "backwards" you all are mentioning? Also I was told I need to purchase a wireless router for my home computer internet?

Thanks for your responses.
