I'll start off by saying that I haven't seen the trailer.

That said, I don't have a problem with a female terminator that some people do, provided they stick to the design/purpose of the female...

No problem here, even on new releases. I've had bad timing where I didn't have any movies to return at the time that new releases I wanted were coming out, but still got them about a week later. My...

If and when you're laughing last, I'll be sad, but only because I'll be at the end of hundreds (thousands?) of happy rentals. Who's the winner there? Noone. This isn't a competition, and...

As a matter of fact, if you call them and ask them about it, that's what they tell you to do, since they charge list.

I'll second the Onkyo 595, provided you're not interested in 6.1 or multi-room/multi-source (it will do multi-room, but only single source, as near as I can tell).
