Shimshuta :	(08 September 2010 - 10:25 PM) Anyone watch Rubicon on AMC? Very sublime, slow burn show.
Todd :	(08 September 2010 - 10:29 PM) it's in my queue
Brandino :	(08 September 2010 - 10:31 PM) The Other Guys - Was much better then I expected and definitely had lots of laughs. Worth watching IMO
Ray :	(08 September 2010 - 11:34 PM) I thought we all agreed not to get Move.
Todd :	(08 September 2010 - 11:38 PM) yeah I believe it's in the membership registration isn't it?
Shimshuta :	(09 September 2010 - 12:33 AM) I am not touching it for the same reasons I wont play Kinect, or the Wii. I hate Motion controls, and I have no place to play them with my setup.
d2_s :	(09 September 2010 - 12:40 AM) Who are we? I said I'd be getting Move even though I think USB ports on the front of the PS3 suck for the cam. Kinect I'm not keen on.
Shimshuta :	(09 September 2010 - 12:41 AM) And the whole fingerprint taking, and retinal checking at the cash register at purchase really bugs me.

fabio sir :	(09 September 2010 - 12:44 AM) I thought a major component of this site was that we all do whatever we want...
Goldenheart :	(09 September 2010 - 02:17 AM) Found a glitch in Case Zero. Don't dl anything while playing. When it finishes the DL, the game boots you to the menu WITHOUT SAVING!!! (I'll post this in the thread too.)
Goldenheart :	(09 September 2010 - 02:19 AM) I had just finished a part & was 30 seconds away from saving too!
d2_s :	(09 September 2010 - 02:26 AM) That's the same glitch I encountered when I first played it. I already posted it in the threadif you have a look at my initial impressions.
Goldenheart :	(09 September 2010 - 02:34 AM) Doh!
d2_s :	(09 September 2010 - 02:36 AM) I ended up saving every few minutes I was so paranoid. Lucky for me though it happened on my 1st/2nd play so I didn't lose much.
Goldenheart :	(09 September 2010 - 02:36 AM) You said it restarted for no reason. Mine happened right after I was notified a dl was completed. Were you dl'ing something too?
d2_s :	(09 September 2010 - 02:37 AM) hasn't happened since knocks on wood
d2_s :	(09 September 2010 - 02:37 AM) you know what It's possible I may have been DL'ing something. Good catch!
Goldenheart :	(09 September 2010 - 02:42 AM) I know, I know: Crazy to suggest you might've DL'd something. I mean, I know you hate buying XBLA games just as much as I do.

I finally bought a Digital Optical cable for my PS2 and everything seemed to work fine at first but now I get hicups all the time when using the cable for games and movies. I have a Onkyo receiver and a 7.1 speaker setup. I know that PS2 games support Pro Logic 2 and my receiver says that while playing games. The only way I can get the sound to work without any hicups or cutoffs is when I use RCA AV cables for sound. I also noticed that with the digital optical cable plugged up the Onkyo receiver says PCM and Pro Logic 2 while when I just use RCA cables the receiver says Pro Logic 2. I used the same PS2 optical cable for my XBOX and it works fine so I dont think the problem is the cable. I kinda leaning toward that the Digital Optical out in the PS2 might be broken or dirty? I do have Digital Optical ON in the PS2 config menu. Any help would be great.

Well, I opened up my PS2, used a can of air, and blew away all the dust that was collecting on the components. The fan was really dirty. I also used a cue tip and some rubbing alchohol to clean the optical out on the back of the PS2. I plugged everything back up and fired away. The audio still kept cutting out on and off. I played around with the receiver's settings some more and for some reason the sound works now. My receiver says PCM and Dolby Pro Logic EX while playing games. I dont know what the heck was the problem but its all fixed now.
