Man Cave Must Haves

It’s time folks!! We all have a TV in our Man Cave but how many of us have a nice wall projector for that great Cave Theater experience? Well it’s time to review a few of the beasts and see what all the outside world has to offer. I like to call it our own little slice of Man Cave Heaven.

A common misconception when it comes to projectors is they cannot get the resolution that a normal TV can get. This is not true at all. You can easily find quite a few projectors that get just as high of resolution as your favorite Big Screen TV (Full 1080p) at half the cost. Plus with the right environment you can get a picture that is twice the size of the biggest TV’s! One thing you do have to keep in mind when buying a projector is what kind of lighting do I have in my Man Cave? The reason you need to ask yourself this question, is how much light you have in the room WILL reflect on a projectors picture quality! Luckily most of us like our Man Caves nice and dark so it shouldn’t be to big of a problem. Next up are our reviews of some of the best projectors out there for your buck!

The Xbox 360 beat all other systems to the next gen punch. That head start really shows. They have some great games and the Halo franchise is one of my favorites. The system also has some great innovations on the horizon in Project Natal. Project Natal could change the way we play games all together, but we have heard that before. It would allow the user to play with no controller and all motions are controlled by your body. I also feel that while beating all other competition to the market, they may have skipped out on the quality of the system. The dreaded red ring of death has claimed my first xbox.

Every time I turn my new one on I still wonder if this is the time it happens again. I have been a subscriber of live since week one over six years ago. The $50 price for a year subscription is a small price. It allows me to play online with my friends, voice and video chat, download tv show, movies and even stream Netflix®. The system is starting to show it age and the ps3 is starting to get some momentum and might even over take the 360. But with the Xbox 360’s new price drop the battle is on. In closing the Xbox 360 is a sure bet for any Man Cave.

     Believe it or not I am still asked this question. Since its release my answer has always been “yes”. With the new price drop , new restyling and some great games as of late there is no reason not to have one.  For any guy or gal that’s into sports games, this is without a doubt the right system for you. MLB The Show is the best baseball game I have played in the past few years. The PS3 also offers other awesome exclusive titles along with a vast selection of movies to rent or buy.

      The Blu-Ray player is outstanding; the PlayStation store has really come on as of late and with constant updates it keeps the system fresh and enjoyable.  The system has come along way since it was released and it keeps getting better. Who cares if you have a xbox…you can enjoy both. For a quick comparison of the new PS3 slim AKA “PS3 120 GB” hit the read link…

Amazon is my favorite place to buy electronics and other random things. Usually when I am shopping for, well, almost anything, I start out by going to Best Buy, HH Gregg or even Wal-Mart, and  then I come home and buy that item from Amazon at a much lower price most of the time. One of my other favorite web sites is htmarket.com. This website has given me some great ideas. They can be a bit pricey but often have great deals and great coupons sent to your email.

These two companies have everything that you can think of when making a Man Cave. HTmarket has great bundle deals that meet any budget.  An item to check out is the Buttkicker. It mounts inside your sofa or chair and gives you a different movie or gaming experience every time it hits. The Buttkicker starts out at about $430.  Still, I recommend searching for anything you consider buying on Amazon’s site first to find the best deal, but between these two web sites you can get plenty of ideas and in most cases save some money.

     So I got to thinking about all he TV’s on the market and I thought, “WOW there’s a lot of TV’s out there!”. So what are your friends here at MCMH.com gonna do? You guessed it, we’re gonna run a four part series on each different type of TV! So grab your favorite gaming chair and popcorn and let’s get down to what you need to enjoy the best Man Cave Media experience for your own budget (We’ll talk about what’s not in your budget too, but that’s what dreams and second mortgages are for!).

Part one of the series is going to be all about LCD so get stoked and hit the read link for the whole story!!

Before the release of this game many said it was just a $60 downloadable content add-on to Halo 3. I have been to both midnight releases of Halo 2and Halo 3. I guess I bought into what I was hearing about game before it release and i did not attend any functions for Halo 3: ODST’s release. I stopped by Wal-Mart the day of release to see if they had any copies. I was fortunate that they did have three copies left but I still had a hard time deciding to buy one. Against my wife’s voice in the back of my head telling me we don’t have any money I went ahead and bought a copy. I got home that night, still not excited to play it I messed around for about an hour and then retired to my HD Plasma screen in man cave to check it out. Click the read link for the whole story
