D-Link Reveals new MovieNite Streaming Media Player[teaser]You'll get 1080p resolution video from common sources at $59. [/teaser] D-Link has announced the release of their new MovieNite DSM-310 streaming media player, which gives you a 1080p resolution and the ability to stream from Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Pandora and Picasa. It's currently available at Walmart for $59. When it comes to inexpensive streaming players, the benchmark is always Roku. The MovieNite comes in at the same price as the Roku 2 HD, which only offers a 720p resolution. If you're content with the limited apps of the D-Link player, it's a pretty decent buy at the price. Of course, the Roku 2 XD gives you 1080p and a vast selection of apps at $20 more. Source: eCousticsPosted Tue Apr 10, 2012 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -

[/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox is preparing 'Missing in Action,' 'Missing in Action 2,' and 'The Delta Force' for Blu-ray on June 5. 'Missing in Action' - American servicemen are still being held captive in Vietnam - and it's up to one man to bring them home in this blistering, fast-paced action/adventure starring martial arts superstar Chuck Norris. Following a daring escape from a Vietnamese POW camp, Special Forces Colonel James Braddock (Norris) is on a mission to locate and save remaining MIAs. Aided by a beautiful State Department official (Lenore Kasdorf) and a former Army buddy (M. Emmet Walsh), Braddock amasses top secret information and state-of-the-art weaponry. Now this one-man army is prepared to blast his way into Vietnam... but will he be able to blast his way back out? 'Missing In Action 2: The Beginning' - During a rescue mission in Vietnam, Colonel Braddock (Chuck Norris) and five of his men are captured and placed in a torturous work camp ruled by a ruthless, maniacal warden. But like a cunning tiger waiting for the right time to pounce on his prey, Braddock seizes an opportunity to spring into action... and becomes a one-man fighting machine deadset on freeing his men at any cost.

Against all odds, the men blast into the compound and - taking no prisoners - rescue the hostages. But the mission is not yet over. A few remaining passengers are being "escorted" to Teheran, initiating a desperate race against time as Alexander and McCoy try to save them - and avenge America's honor - before it's too late.
