[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Just ran across this 2 as an option since I canceled Netflix. Anyone have any experience with this? -----signature----- (none)

	I've used vudu on my ps3 this past month. No issues, and video quality has been really good. It's spendy for Hi-Def titles though - 5.99 or more. I like it, but it's easy to rack up quite a charge as it's per movie. Boxee is it's own delivery service - like roku from what I understand. You still need some other service to watch - hulu, vudu, etc. Unless you mean you're using boxee to watch vudu? It should work just fine, but you don't need boxee if you have a ps3. -----signature----- "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack.

Good point. Either way, it's Sunday cheaper than a theater. -----signature----- "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

While I really wont argue the price but on a matinee price of $6.00 or $7.00 it's really the popcorn, candy and soda that make the theater prices explode. -----signature----- Oh, the DAoC memories It was my first Dont they say you never forget your first one?

For a soda! Not to mention the other crap there. I can remember waaaay back getting kicked out of a theater for sneaking in with a pizza.

	Redbox is only $1 for a DVD. $2.50 for a blu-ray. And there's a redbox within a 5 to 10 minute bike ride of my house. -----signature----- Thanks to iTunes, now you can get free TV shows for just 99 cents
