what are the dfferences among 720p,1080p and 1080i?
Simply put 720p, 1080i, and 1080p refer to the resolution of a TV and how the images are displayed on the TV. The numbers refer to the number of lines of pixels on the vertical side of the screen, and the higher the number the better the resolution of the TV's screen.
The letters after the numbers refer to the how the TV displays video. The P stands for progressive, and the I stands for interlaced. A progressive TV will draw all the vertical lines of a specific frame at the same time, while an interlaced TV draws the odd numbered lines of a frame and then the even numbered lines.
1080p will give you a better viewing experience on large TV's that are viewed at a short distance, but keep in mind that a TV can only display up to the quality of the signal that is being put into it. Most HD TV signals are 720p or 1080i so a 1080p TV will only display the signal at the level of what is being inputted. The most common 1080p signals right now are Blu-ray discs or DVD players that upconvert a DVD to a 1080p signal. I hope this helps!

Will a PSP purchased in the USA work overseas
A Sony PSP purchased in the U.S. will work anywhere, but will not play movies that are region coded to a different region than region 1 (which is Canada, U.S., and U.S. Territories). Sony has said it is up to the software manufacturers to determine if they region code a specific game or not, but as of now very few PSP games have been region coded. My suggestion would be if you live outside of region 1 to purchase the Sony PSP gaming system in the country you live in. I hope this helps!

Would the Geek Squad do a dual-boot for me between xp and vista?
Yes, as long as your computer meets the necessary system requirements the Geek Squad® precinct in your local Best Buy® store should be able to set up your laptop to boot to either your Vista operating system or your XP operating system.

Do sony HDTVs offer netflix streaming now?
What sony models offer netflix streaming right now. KDL-46W5100 or KDL-46Z5100. If netflix streaming is not available right now, can we do a firmware update once it is available or need to buy separate hardware module for it. Is there a list available with all the bravia internet video providers?.
As of right now no Sony TV's are capable of streaming Netflix, but Sony has announced that as of this fall all online-enabled Sony TV's will be able to stream Netflix videos once the TV has been enabled to do this via a software upgrade. The current series of Sony TV's that will be able to do this are the XBR9 series, the Z5100 series, and the W5100. Both of the models you listed should be able to do this once the software upgrade is made available from Sony. I hope this helps!

Will the i-phone soon be on verizon?
Being a Verizon customer myself I wish the iPhone was available for their service, but as of right now AT&T has an exclusive contract with Apple to be the only service provider that is allowed to offer iPhone service. This contract is valid through 2010 right now, and it is completely possible that they might extend this contract beyond that point. As in any competitive contract agreement the general public is not notified of any changes or extensions until the new contract has been signed by all parties involved. I hope this helps!

how much will it cost to get a PS3 fixed?
Unfortunately Best Buy® does not repair Sony PS3 gaming systems, and I would suggest contacting Sony in order to get your system repaired.
