AMD Live! to support HD DVD / Blu-ray in Q3 2007

Dec 29th 2006 4:16PM on Engadget HD

Q3 07? ouch

Is it just me or does it not already work with any fast processor, hd-dvd or blu-ray drive and special version of powerdvd?

Mossberg harshes on Comcast's DVR (and says something or other about TiVo Series3)

Dec 29th 2006 4:02PM on Engadget

The sony is a single tuner unit, and it doesn't have the additional features of the TiVo, so I guess what you meant to say was that the HDD-250 does everthing the cable company box does but record two shows at once.

Fyi, the S3 gets OTA HD as well. Hope you are happy you got it early, because that and the monthly fee is the only thing it has over the TiVo S3.

btw, I picked mine up on ebay for $600

Ken Kutaragi sez: I "promise" an AV-centric PS3

Dec 20th 2006 9:30AM on Engadget

Anyone else out there think that they already bought an A/V centric PS3?

They were promising a digital media center for your living room, and that is what made it worth the $600, because it sure as hell wasn't the launch titles.

So does that mean the March update won't make my PS3 work as well with media as an original xbox?

Dear lord, please buy this man a tripod for xmas.

I am assuming he has no friends or at least no friends with a video camera.

I could actually believe that the cameraman had developmental issues.

How-To: Upgrade your Series3 drive

Nov 16th 2006 6:47PM on Engadget HD

The whole drive thing is related to a special connector (the Secure Connect) that WD includes with some of their drives.

The difference in the TiVo's cable and the secure connect is the tabs that slide into holes in the drive, the TiVo doesn't have them.

Here is a link to some more info on SecureConnect, which the Tivo does not use.

How-To: Upgrade your Series3 drive

Nov 16th 2006 6:41PM on Engadget HD

I upgraded to the seagate 750 today using your instructions, worked like a charm.

Thank you from a very satisfied user.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
