What is the policy of sharing Xbox, PLaysation and Wii gaming identities. Is it legal to do on lddb as far as lddb’s terms are concerned? How about as far as the Xbox, PLaystation and Nintendo services are concerned. Nintendo has strict "stranger danger" policies. I know xbox gamertag publications on outside web sources are legal, because my offline friend got his gamertag published, and he was proud to pick up fans following the show. As matter of fact, one of the comments that Jamal supposedly said about one of the opponents in Life to the Power of X was actually in reference to a response to a fan who waned to challenge (since it’s already public knowledge for fans of the show) Jamal "Zophar321" Nickens at the fans choice of game. The fan won. Then Jamal asked other games they owned in common because the fan beat him at the fan selected game, but Jamal played 3 or 4 other games the fan had and Jamal beat him bad each time, and the fan gave up when Jamal made his point. A game you practice for 8 hours a day for 5 days a week you might beat my friend who is first stumbling on it, but put in quite a few games either he knows or neither of you know and he’ll come out on top more than half the time. The producers of the show kind of twisted that comment to make it sound like he was referring an opponent, not a random fan. So LDDB Mods: What’s the policy of sharing gamertags? Publicly publish if you want? Private message only? Or no non-web contact? I know the lddb website primarily a specific home format of movie site, so gaming is a tangential topic. And to think, I was just curious whether Laser Disc owners think CRT TVs are a) absolutely better than modern TVs and worth going out of your way for, b) better if they have one for classic video games anyway, but wouldn’t buy one specifically for just laser discs, or c) not worth it, even if you have a CRT TV for classic games. Just curious, are most people a) b) or c) type people? I’m a B kind of person. |

While I have no idea if you are allowed to share I have no way to do anything with it. I have no x-box or any systems now, not even an upright. Showyucan You know I forgot about all the Jamma stuff I had. I remember having a Hyper Neo Geo 3D, had to search it up as I forgot what it was really called. That was a cool system, nice graphics and sweet gameplay. |

A question for you all: Would you get rid of a 14" CRT TV that you don't use? It is rather small and be kept in the closest unless I bring out for old stuff but also I could use the space for something else in the closest. Even though games (I suppose there retro now but hell I grew up with them so they don't seem retro to me at all) will look bad other than my PS3. |

14'' unless it's a pro monitor (doesn't sound like it) I would get rid of it. You basically have to be right up next to it at that size. Not really a fan. |

I least it was only $3.00 so I will have to figure out to rid of it then. |

You could use it in the kitchen or work room if you have. Our last place I had a 13" in the kitchen, one in each work room and was planning on putting one in the bathroom but the bathroom was too small. I was able to get them for a few bucks like you or free. Was even planning on running an extension cord into the back yard when doing grilling, so if you have a yard you may want to think of that too

For me it depends on my stock level. If it were my last CRT I’d keep it around but if you have redundancy already, put it up on Freecycle, it that still exists. I have a really mediocre 19” one I keep in the garage. In case I want to watch something when working on the car or whatever but it’s below my standards for real games or movies but if it were my last CRT it still may be the best way to play the old stuff. |

thanks I will think about it more since it is my last one and am not planning to get an others since this is the easiest one to move around for me. |

I've decided to keep it. So I can use it when I setup my video editing station which I hope would be before the end of the year. I so miss my LDS2 CLD79 Mac Pro and everything else. Also some important family items like a table with a metal top that sat in my Grandmother's kitchen. |

A side note on how CRT screens were used to generate extra colors on old CGA video cards. Didn't know about that! Julien |

I took my player with me to the folks over holidays since they still have an old widescreen CRT telly in the living room to see how it measures up. One thing I can definitely say is an improvement is the complete absence of frame tearing; all the panning and slow zooming shots are as smooth as butter. |

Yep. At first it was color that made CRT better than flat panels but now the one true advantage left, games or movies, is in the motion. It’s hard to duplicate with digital stuff because it wasn’t even really built into CRT, it’s inherent. |

I'm probably repeating myself but yeah I wouldn't trade my CRTs for anything when it comes to old game and video content. I've tried and compared many things, I don't even want to play PS2 on anything else. |

I never ever ever want to see a CRT again. Most awful way to watch anything ( my opinion so don’t get your nickers in a twist ) |

I have no experience with them and games as I don't have any game systems anymore and the only old tech we have around the house are vinyl, CDs, LDs and DVDs and all runs fine for us on newer equipment. The only stuff I really like but they too fit into these above categories are large rear projection TVs, always wanted one but we don't own a truck or van and its not worth it to get a rental for a cheap junky old tech TV. The only one that I would like that are cool would be that really early Pioneer projection TV, would be cool but would take too much to keep it running as its over 35 years old now and its just too old to deal with. |
