Nope, only HDMI in and out. Might be possible to buy an HDMI to component converter but I'll defer to the technophiles on this board.

Played a couple of hours again last night. The first hour I had a lot of trouble connecting to a server and when I did it crashed 3 separate times on me. Then my luck changed for about 2 hours and didn't have a single issue. When this game is stable it's a hell of a lot of fun (watching a...

I like the controller overall (not that the 360 needed to be fixed). The D-Pad is better but I don't like the bumpers as much, but it's not that big of a deal. I don't think BF4 is using the trigger feedback or at least I can't tell much of a difference. I do like the feel of the guns though...

So I’ve had my Xbox One for about a week and have put a good 10-15 hours into it over that time. High level summary: it has the potential to be an amazing gaming/multimedia system but still needs some tweaks and more games. What I love most so far is to instantly switch between TV, gaming and...

I knew something didn't seem right when I read "...and pray too seldom" which didn't sound anything like something Carlin would say, so I looked up on Snopes and sure enough, Carlin didn't write this and even referred to this essay as "a sappy load of shit" (which sounds exactly like something...

I have a different approach when it comes to traveling to Europe. Years ago I agreed with your thought of spending no less than two weeks there and seeing as much as we could. However it soon became obvious that there was no way I could take a 2+ weeks off from work at a time and wouldn't get...

I think the idea is that the HDMI output from your receiver to your TV will instead be plugged in to Xbox One. That way TV signals will flow through Xbox and you can control which output goes to your TV and potentially have the ability to overlay interactive displays on your TV signal...

Personally I don't see a $100 price difference between the two systems as being material. Assuming that you'll have a console for about 5 years that comes out to around $20/yr price difference. Hell, $100 is my typical bar tab for a long night of drinking. If it don't think twice about...

I think that was the original intent of M$ - to go completely digital/downloads on the Xbox One and do away with game discs (like iOS, Android and Steam) but thought that was too radical of a change for console gamers. I would bet in a few years most console gamers will be downloading all of...

It's been comfirmed for release on PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

I can't comment specifically on what others believe until they state exactly what they believe and why. But just about every theist I've encountered has admitted that their belief system comes down to "faith" which is essentially belief without evidence which is irrational.

I think the bigger picture is: should one seek to know what is true in the universe and if so, how do we best determine what is true? I would bet that we both use the same methodology (logic, reason, evidence, observation, personal experience, etc.) to determine what we believe to be true about...

I agree to a certain extent but religion has been given a free pass for too long. It seems that every other controversial topic is open to discussion - politics, sex, war, money, etc. - but as soon as religion is brought up there is a sense that it is off limits because we don't want to offend...

That would probably be covered under a city ordinance vs. HOA.

The HOA can certainly file a lien based on alleged amounts due from the previous owners after the home has been sold which is why a buyer (and their lender and title company) typically require a letter from the HOA stating that all HOA fees have been paid current. I doubt the title company...
