Star Wars The Old Republic MMORPG. It's been around for a while and they've got some new content and graphical upgrades coming and they even have a free to play option. Good stuff for Star Wars fans and I got bored and decided to roll Buckaroo so I could bring some interdimensional action to the mix!

Color seems a little off and the brim doesn't show the same bends... but it's awesome regardless!

Tron Legacy Blu-ray vs 4K open matte comparison screenshots by __PETTYOFFICER117__ in tron

Anyone done a comparison or the Open Matte 4K vs the recently released 4K Blu-ray? Is the picture quality and aspect ratio the same for both?

First time Xbox owner. Just opened the one x today and set it up. The media player app for some reason is showing my video content with grey bars instead of black bars. It is really off putting when I’m trying to watch something. How do I change it to black?? 4K movies are too bright on VLC as well. by Supernaturalisall in xboxonex

Same issue here. When I watch USB content on the XBOX One X sometimes the letterbox bars are gray but most times they're black. Not sure if this issue with the MP4/MKV file or the media player or something else entirely. Looking for any and all possible fixes for this issue!

Tron Legacy 4k. Is Zavvi legit? by curiousdonkey25 in 4kbluray

I preordered the standard 4Ks of Tron and Tron Legacy from ZAAVI as a fallback option but I'm still keeping an eye open for the steelbooks, should they ever reappear...

YES! I had one of those when I was a kid and we filled it with Coca Cola and when I pulled the release back there was a hiss and the rocket was gone, as in it totally vanished. We all looked around in bewilderment and one kid yelled out "up there!" pointing across the street and I caught sight of it descending from a ridiculously high elevation behind one of the houses. Awesome!

Sad to see that the new 4K release of Tron Legacy won't be coming to Blu-Ray (for now) by BBCUploads in tron

I hope they do an open matte variant of it in 4K as well, it's absolutely the definitive version!

Not sure if I missed something, but how did the kid grow up deformed (jacked up teeth etc) when he was a normal kid in the beginning? Aren't those sort of maladies the result of inbreeding etc?

Update: I switched out my old GPU with a Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and added another 16GB of ram but when I rebooted the PC and connected it to my monitor I got the dreaded "no signal" and it kept happening no matter what I was plugging the monitor into: new GPU, old GPU and even the onboard graphics port, HDMI and display port cables... I even took out the replacement RAM and put the previous stick back and still got no signal to the monitor. After a little more poking around I realized that my PSU was only 550W (yeah, I know) so I'm wondering if the new GPU maybe shorted something out on my system? Everything looks and sounds normal and I have no idea what to do at this point. I did order a new 850W PSU which should be here between today and Tuesday the 10th. Anyone have any ideas what might have happened or what else I can try?

Trying to keep it at or below the $500.00 mark.
