Thanks for the rec.
For Steam games, do you get and pay for it online? Are there some demos
around? I've sort of fallen out of gaming mode over the last few years.
One game i used to really enjoy was Tanarus - a tank game. Team based.
Too much fun. That was way, way back in the day...that would be too
cool now with all this bandwidth, CPU/GPU power we have today.

I'm playing Mass Effect 2 right now and it is amazing. It's more of an
action-drama movie than anything else. There is some FPS content but it's
not much. Highly recommended.
I would also suggest you check out Plants vs Zombies on Steam. Great Popcap
tower defense game, lots of replay value.

I know my Sony BD player is dog slow...gawd...it got so bad that I ordered
an OPPO 83...and I just got it a few minutes ago...didn't really want to
drop dough on that...but now I can play my SACD and DVD-Audio discs as well.
The Sony will move upstairs.
Speaking of games...anyone know of a good non-FPS that runs on 64-bit
Windows 7? FPS games make me ill. I just want something to kill time that
doens't take an huge investment of time to learn. Some simulations seem so
serious in terms of learning curve. They then sit in the box.

Optical drives are dog slow and that includes the speed of the door
opening and closing. Plus some games require that you have the disk in the
drive and did I mention that the door is slow. Swapping disks is such a
pain...

I want to ask this for information purposes only...why bother ripping DVD
and Blu-rays? I've done this...and frankly, I've lost interest in doing it.
But I get the impression that some here are ripping multitudes of movies to
magnetic media...I have a large collection of Blus and DVDs, but I don't
watch anything frequently enough to need it online (like in my house). For
new content, it does make some sense, though, if you don't want to own the
content you an download it...but if I want to watch upstaris rather than
down, then I just go get the disc...I'm not too lazy YET to do that...and
it's way better than having an HD farm that sucking down juice 24/7 (it
occurs to me that cheap HDs make this all too tempting to do, though, so I
can get that). At least to me it is....

That would be cool for BD when I decide to take the plunge and buy a
BD-ROM. For DVD's I just have AnyDVD rip it to hardrive as an ISO.

Maybe one of the coolest tools I've used in forever. Instant, no
compression conversion of BD and DVD. If your running mce and your used to
archiving your content to use the movie library (or I use Mediabrowser and
MyTv) then this comes as one of the best tools I've seen in years.
It just works.
