Just saw FULL TRAILER of EPISODE 3!!

I`m a projectionist in Dublin and I recieved a delivery of the trailer this evening. Ran it as soon as I could...the first thing that jumps out are the many allusions to all the chapters, touches of EMPIRE, JEDI and a NEW HOPE in many of the battle scenes and dramtic confrontations..It really does look like the dogs bolloxs out of the first three chapters. It`s hard to believe that this is the end. Tonight was the last buzz of a Star Wars trailer. The circle is almost complete...

RE: Need a player that outputs PAL 60 and NTSC. Any recommendations?

Thanks for clearing that up! How then when I switch my X-box to a PAL 60 output and play an NTSC dvd I can recorded the resulting signal without a problem? (This is why I assumed that PAL 60 was the recordable version and not PAL 50)

RE: Need a player that outputs PAL 60 and NTSC. Any recommendations?

My older DVD player outputs PAL 50, when I play an NTSC DVD and output it to PAL for recording it wont record properly. With the Cyberhome this was not a problem as it ouputed PAL 60.

RE: Need a player that outputs PAL 60 and NTSC. Any recommendations?

I`m in Dublin. Richer Sounds used to sell Cyberhome, but they shut down in Ireland due to owing the Irish government a huge VAT bill. So I was wondering if there is another brand that has similar outputs, PAL 60 & NTSC.

Need a player that outputs PAL 60 and NTSC. Any recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a DVD player that outputs both PAL 60 and an optional NTSC signal. My Cyberhome has gone bust and local dealers dont stock it anymore. Cheers.

RE: Jet Li missing following tsunami in Maldives

As human beings we all empathise with the many who are suffering right now, and also as human beings to have a face and a personality to one of those does not lesson our sympathy for the rest.

Jet Li missing following tsunami in Maldives

He was on holidays with his family in the Maldives islands when the tidal wave struck. His manger has been unable to contact him or located him since. Lets hope him, his family and the many others that are missing turn up in good health.
