Hansang, If you decide to get into multiplayer (co-op or versus) let me know.
My PSN tag is Terzaghi83 Sounds good! But I need some time to play/get used to it! I get shellacked in COD4 and that gets tiring!

The good thing about Uncharted2 is that there are various co-op modes that you can play online as well.

How do you go about getting world series tickets? Are they expensive?

Just out of curiosity, what time did you get home? I actually stayed awake the entire 13 despite the fact that we had a dinner party at our house earlier in the evening. I was at game one which was a nine inning affair! But I was up for game two...what a game!!!! I have tickets for game 2 for WS and can't wait!! The tension in these games is killing me! Augh!

As far as getting tickets goes, if you aren't a season ticket holder and didn't win the lottery, you are stuck with stubhub. Starting at about $600 for the cheap seats.

Proud season ticket holder. Actually, post season tickets are *cheaper* than regular season tickets (for the same seats). As for the Phillies repeating....HAHAHAHAHA!  Looking forward to it.

Reviving this thread as I've had it with my cable company provided DVR's.
I like the idea of the lifetime subscription, but you sure pay for it...
I'm not sure if I should go with the Tivo Premiere or the Moxi. The Moxi has three tuners and if I go through the headache of adding more devices to my wired home network, I can buy two Moxi "Mates" that talk to the main Moxi unit. This would allow me to set up my three TV's and only have to get one cable card. This package costs $1000. That's painful. The cost for one Moxi is $600. http://www.moxi.com/us/offer.html?_cr=ppc|google|MOX:%20Moxi:%20USA|moxi&gclid=CPS_pZXNkaMCFQVvbAod_355ng
The Tivo Premier, with lifetime subscription is $700 for the basic machine or $900 for the XL. Then of course, I still need to do something for the other two TVs.
Does anyone have either of these machines, or done some research to determine the Pros/Cons?

Is Moxi a Tivo interface or something else?
Because if you're willing to try "something else", I'm still pretty darn happy with the service DirecTV has given me over the years. Are you too far north for satellite?

The Moxi is supposedly similar to Tivo. I have not seen either first hand.
I used to have Dishnet. Then HD rolled out and I would have had to put up a second dish, one 40" and one 60". I checked into DirectTV but their satellite could not be seen from my home do to my home town being surrounded by 3000' mountains. They may have service now, I should probably check into that.
Normally, cable has better signal quality than sat, but things have changed and that might not be the case anymore.
