The Sirius was gift - so Davina and I each have one in our cars. I like it for a bunch of different reasons and Stern is not any of them... The NFL on Sirius has been nice for me because I can catch the games while I'm driving back from church on Sunday, or if I am at work late on Monday evenings, I can stream online from my account and listen. But with this one I agree with you - it is a toss up. <em>The Trousered Ape's last blog post..</em><a href='http://blog.thetrouseredape.com/?p=88' rel="nofollow">What Hope Does He Bring?</a> I hear ya.

I know that Sirius has Stern (who I don't care for anymore) and the NBA/NFL package, but I really never seem to be in a car where I am looking to listen to an NBA game, and I have NFL ticket for Sundays and we never leave the house :) I had a hard time choosing between the two, but there were two things I liked about XM:

We bought that on SD already since its an HD exclusive. Same with Star Dust. Wow - we are continually at opposite ends of the spectrum.

I'm not as much into the DVD library as you are, considering we just sold about 20 DVDs, but that DVDSpot is interesting. I may have to check that out. I got Bourne Ultimatum for Christmas on HD-DVD, so I'm off to watch Supremacy! Ape,

Nice list man…I hit up Best Buy today as well, and along with an XM radio install, I also got on HD-DVD:

Children of Men

I already own it on SD and I am not really sure if I want to replace it or not, although the High-Def versions (both of them) are getting good reviews for the transfer. For gifts yesterday I ended up receiving on Blu-ray the following titles: 1. March of the Penguins (pretty good, but I wasn't totally blown away by it - I might need to watch it again when I'm not so sleepy after eating a big Christmas meal) 2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind: 30th Anniversary Edition (I popped it in and jumped around on it a little - all I can say is WOW) 3. Elvis Costello & the Imposters: Club Date - Live in Memphis (yeah...I think I have watched this 3 times already - simply brilliant and definitely a must-have if you are an Elvis Costello fan) 4. Harry Potter Years 1-5 Limited Edition Gift Set (Sorcerers Stone/ Chamber of Secrets/ Prisoner of Azkaban/ Goblet of Fire/ Order of the Phoenix) (I bought this for Davina as a gift - we haven't checked it out yet, but we are soooo looking forward to it) Then today, with a Best Buy gift certificate I received yesterday, I picked up the following two Blu-ray titles: 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (oh yeah....the transfer looks fantastic, but I didn't watch the entire thing - just bounced around) 2. Ratatouille (again, I haven't watched this nor have we even seen this movie period. Definitely looking forward to sitting down and checking it out - perhaps tomorrow evening). Hey Mike - I know that you are always looking for new little odds and ends when it comes to technology. I stumbled across this site Christmas Eve evening. It is called DVDSpot.com and it is a free, online service where you can catalog all of our DVD's, what you own, what you've watched, what you've loaned out, a wishlist, etc. I went through and loaded all my movies into their database. It was super easy - just punch in the UPC code and the movie should pop up, then you save it.
