You can email discrete IR codes to Logitech support and they will add it to your account w/o problem. Yes, it has many limitations but still is the best solution out there for majority of the ppl primarilty due to the fact the IR code database are maintained on line and by the time you purchased your new equipment, the hard to find discrete codes are typically already there. I've used two Harmoney remotes for couple years now. The only time I need to get my own discrete code in is with Toshiba A3 HD-DVD player.

Aug 11th 2009 3:44PM Your theory is partly correct. It's the coating on the plasma screen. Typically, Panasonic plasma (most common in Costco) TVs have less effective coating to combat against bright light.
Xbox 360 officially the only console to stream Netflix -- sorry, PS3 and Wii {Engadget HD}
Aug 11th 2009 11:22AM PCs are limited to SD streaming only. HD streaming is reserved for non-PC devices only. I have to agree with you on content availability as well as the lack of surround sound.
Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3: ODST are both not-quite HD games {Engadget HD}

You're the one that is un-informed. PC games are always rendered at whatever resolution you pick, not scaled up. Don't confuse game resolution with texture map resolution. Two different things.
360 games are usually always scaled. And PS3 depends. Some are scaled and some are not.

Try again. Your 512MB 4850 can only run most games at or below 30fps when played in 1080p resolution.
Xbox 360 has total of 512MB of memory shared between processor and GPU.
