my new tv
 

yup, came across this thing for a really good price and we scooped her up. boys get your napkins out. 72 inch dlp. hd. 1080 all that bullshit. gotta get an hd dvd player now, or maybe a ps3 and watch blue rays. ill tell you this, playing the xbox 360 on high def mode has never been more exciting :D

first shot at the door way to my rec room, roughly 1000 sq ft of open area to give you an idea

hahaha i ahve that same scarface poster

man, nice tv. Wheres my hook ups :confused:

thanks. ill post a pic of my mustang poster later on if i dont forget.

rick come down this way im sure i can get you a much better deal than what youll pay up your way for a tv.

as for price, a friend of my dads own a tv shop and i believe this was the alst one of these he had so he just wanted to get rid of it. so the final cost for this bad boy was 2500 taxes included with a satelite reciever :D

nice pickup!:smilie_da

You will enjoy watching movies in HD. I go to my cousins house all the time to watch a movie now hahaha

thanks, im looking into an hd dvd player right now with some surround sound. and then i have to start buying dvd's in hd, lol. got well over 300 non hd, shoulda started my collection in hd years ago

Wow that's big. Very nice

72"!!!! Wow, please hook me up with your friend haha... i may get one very soon, but cannot afford 72" I think...

shes defiantly a treast to watch. i think in the next week or so im gonna get the xbox 360 hd dvd drive. been torn between hd and blueray and i sjut dont wanna spend the money on bklue ray. plus with the hd drive you get a movie and then a mail in thing for 5 more so you cant beat that.even watching regular dvds through the 360 with a non hd drive looks fantastic

yes you can. ps3 comes with 5 bluerays free

thats if you buy a ps3 between now and feb 28th.

and whats a ps3 worth? and xbox 360 player has the same features

yeah well i guess, they all do the same stuff.

but i thought we were talking blue ray vs HDdvd.

we are, ps3 plays blu rays though but is still 200 bucks more expensive than the hd dvd add on for the 360 i already own. if i didnt own a 360 id probably go ps3 because the overall cost would be cheaper. heres whats weird, ps3 40 gig, 400 bucks, 80 gig, 500 bucks. whats the deal with that? why do you need such a big hd on these things?

so anyone else hear that blu ray is now pretty much cornering the market and that the big move makers are only supposedly releasing their movies in blu ray format and not in hd? thats the rumor i heard. i doubt ill buy a blu ray player anytime soon as i really dont like the price of it and the movies are still a bit more expensive

well the diff. between 40 and 80 gig is the size, but also reverse playback of ps1 and 2 games, usb ports for controllers to charge and keyboard and mouse use. also the photo camera card ports and such. on top of all that a polished front piece on the 80 gig.

the size difference comes in handy if you like downloading expansion packs for games and add ons. some of them are pretty cool. guitar hero and rock band have a whole bunch of songs to download.

and yeah i heard something along the same lines in the morning on the radio about the whole no HD thing. Communism i tell yah. lol

haha man i know it is, but if sony has proven us anything its that their lack of compitance screws up any new technology they try to bring out, so just give it some time, lol.

lots of differences huh. i think for now ill go hd and once its completely ruled out ill go blu ray, by then the players should be reasonably priced
