1. We bought this xbox 360 in Christmas 2005. It was left broken for a while and my brother sent it back once then it broke again. (this is the old firmware). We called Microsoft so that we can get another one but they said since we bought the warranty with toys r us that we can only send it back with toys r us and i STILL dont get it because i thought we automatically get a warranty with microsoft. Then they boosted it another 2 years so i should be good through 2008, right?

2. I sent it in when I called toys r us and they sent it back...BROKEN! The same exact way we sent it in. Yea, it had me thinkin WTF too. Now i dont know whether to call Microsoft again or Toys R Us.

I was thinking one of the following. Preferable under $400. Canon lens only (no third party), I don't need IS, and I'm shooting landscapes, people, etc. Nothing too specialized.

Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM
Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM
Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

Are there any other lenses that might be good??

I have connected my PS3 using the A/V out (component video) and there is feedback coming from the TV speakers. I didn't like this so I unhooked the audio cables and just left in the video cables and I am still able to hear the feedback coming through the television speakers. The feedback only happens when the TV is on the PS3 input, if I switch to Cable TV then the noise goes away. I have turned off the PS3 from the main switch in the back, and I still have the same noise. I have unplugged the PS3 and then plugged it up again using a different electrical outlet, and I still hear the noise. In simplest terms all I have connected to the PS3 is the Video cable, when I plug the power cable to the PS3 the noise is audible even though the main power switch is off.

Can anyone help?

Also when playing the PS3 there are surges of color the width of the TV screen that scroll up the TV, and distort the images on the TV.

I have an HDTV and a PS3 connected to it via HDMI. Thinking about getting a Home Theater system. I wanted to be able to watch Blu-Ray on the PS3 with surround sound. I was wondering how I would be able to connect it all using HDMI. How many inputs/outputs would the theater system need? Can anybody help? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm buying a TV this evening. I'm torn between a 32 inch JVC and a 32 inch Panasonic (about $100 difference in cost). My question is about the service contract. 4 year contract is $100. I usually get contracts on portable stuff, but am wondering if it is worth getting it on an LCD? Are they fairly reliable? Am I wasting the money or is it a waste not to get it? Thanks!

I just got a PS3 and I cant find any games that look like fun. I like games that are kinda like brain-teasers, or 'spyro/mario' like.

I recently bought a house and it has a satellite dish already installed. I dont have a subscription to satellite nor do I intend on getting one, as I don't watch much TV.
I was told that I can get a FTA box and hook it up to the dish that is already in place, and pick up satellite signals that way, without paying a subscription charge.
Will this work? Is there a certain type of box that I need to get (I live in Canada)? Do I need one for each TV in the house, or can I run cable from one box to multiple TVs? And will I have to reset something in it once in a while (get a new card or something) or will it just... work? I have a custom media-center type computer, so is it possible to hook up the signal to my PC?

I really don't know anything about satellite TV, so any help I can get is much appreciated.
