But the XRGB-3 uses the one audio port that my TV has.

Is it a single audio port that either is sound for HDMI1/DVI or the PC connection? That's what I had on my first TV (before I got my XRGB) so my solution for using my Dreamcast's VGA out was to use a basic splitter cable to funnel them both to one input. But yeah, in that instance full on HDMI out seems better.

Actually, wait. It was the single DVI port that was a problem. I ran my PC DVI cable through the XRGB-3 and used an audio splitter with it. It worked but it wasn't ideal. I think the XRGB-3 was limiting the PC resolution, plus it didn't always work right.

Anyway, now that my PC and XRGB-3 use completely different cables and ports, it's no longer an issue.

Sony indirectly blaming Anon. They were apparently too busy fighting the DDOS to notice that someone was stealing information out the other door. Oh wait, if the other door hadn't been propped open in the first place it wouldn't have been an issue. Hooray for trying to shift all the blame.

Well... DDoS aside, Sony does claim to have found files named "Anonymous" and "We are Legion" on the servers. Whether put there by Anon during the whole ordeal or not, it is going to attract some interest. Expect the indirect blame to continue.

Here is a summary of the letter Kaz sent: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/ ... entatives/

Here is the letter itself: http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstatio ... 521862165/

Draw whatever conclusions you want from that. Not some media spin story. Sites like Kotaku have gotten out of hand with this thing. LOL

If Anon said they didn't do it, I believe them. Judging from their track record, they seem like honest upstanding guys to me. I'm being completely serious by the way.

You are giving persona to a group that has no head or direct motive other than the select few who decide to participate in an event of their choosing.

Well, I have seen Anon protest Scientology, Christianity and Sony. Sounds like these guys have their head on straight.

Was there a time that they attacked a good person or organization that I'm not aware of?

Anonymous isn't really an organization, it's an adjective. The attackers are anonymous, until we find out who they are. Then they are no longer anonymous.
