Hey everyone,

I've had the Samsung LE26E87 for just over a year now, and I'm starting to get fed up of the inbuilt speakers as they buzz and become distorted in high bass situations. Can anyone recommend a set of good quality, reasonably-priced speakers to solve this problem for me?

I'm not looking to get a home cinema system with five speakers or anything, just two decent speakers, that must be possible in this day and age, surely?

I've just got a new HD component cable for my Wii, but it's only showing red and green, no blue. I have checked that I've got the cable inserted correctly, I've tried fiddling with the TV settings and the Wii display settings, all to no avail. I contacted Nintendo and they told me to try my original Red/Yellow/White component cable, which works fine without any issues.

Does this mean the cable is to blame? (Bearing in mind that it's only a GAMEware cable, not an official Nintendo one)

I'm considering trading-in my Wii and getting myself a PS3, I understand that Wii's are seemingly always in demand by retailers, if this is the case then how much do they offer you on a trade in for a Wii console, boxed with all the cables, Wii Sports etc?

You can get 1080p through a VGA connection too, which is what I used before I bought a new 360. HDMI input does NOT determine 1080p support. List the TV model # and we can tell you if it does or does not.Staryoshi87
Really? I actually had no idea, VGA is something I've never thought of using.

If your TV has HDMI sockets, it is compatible with anything up to 1080p. If it doesn't and it's still a HDTV, then check that it has a component HD socket (green, red and blue, not the red, yellow and white sockets). If it has a component HD socket, it is only compatible up to 1080i.

The maximum for component cables is 1080i, this is the best I can get because I don't have a second generation xbox with a HDMI port.

If you want to display your Xbox in 1080p you will need to check that your Xbox has a HDMI port, and you will then need a HDMI cable.

For that price you can't lose, you get maps with the game if it's the legacy edition, and even if the online community has died down you can still play locally with your friends and go on a terrorist hunt. The only reason I didn't like this game is because I found it too little an evolution from GRAW1, but if you're new to the series you can't go wrong with GRAW2 for a tenner.

That haven't got their fair share of publicity? Um... You could try something like the XBLA title, Braid? You might have to be more specific with the genre you're looking at if possible

I'd say get Fable 2, it's such a pleasing game to play, I love the humour of the game, the art style, it really is a joy to play. Fallout 3, while being really good, and stealing my time away from me at the moment, I can't overcome the fact that to me it's just like Oblivion but with a destroyed city and guns.

My question though, Prince Of Persia, Saint's Row 2 or Far Cry 2? All are reduced to £24.99 in GAME at the moment
