Grindhouse. It's an excellent movie. If you're a fan of 70's era exploitation, B-grade scifi/horror, and car flicks you'll definitely get a kick out this double bill feature. Warning do not buy drinks for the movie it lasts over 3hrs with no real break in between.
• Antec's Solo. The new case I bought over the weekend to accommodate my quest for a quiet PC. The same model as the P150 the Solo is black instead of white and does not include a power supply. A great choice for anyone interested in building a new yet quiet PC.

The ghosting should no longer be an issue with today's HDTVs but plasma offers the best speed while LCD offers simple and roboust panel. As for latency that's a function of processing done by the TV which could add as much as a second from the time you move the controller to something happening on the screen. Most newer HDTVs should offer some sort of game mode that turns off most but not all the processing. Robert also forgot to mention that his favorite DVD-based calibration tool includes a TV latency check -GetGray
