yeah, thats seems like a good idea. like u mentioned before, sony screws everything up the first time.

Warner bros just switched over to BLU RAY only. They were releasing movies in both HD-DVD and Bluray and made an announcement that they are going Bluray exclusively. So far Blu ray has 5 out of 7 of the MAJOR movie companies...

If you don't feel the need to buy one right away... then just wait it out. People are saying that the PS3 price will drop again soon due to the high sales of blu ray disc movies and games.

I own both ps3 and 360 and it doesn't matter for me haha...

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


That is a CRAZY deal still

judgez24 01-12-2008 02:14 PM

150"? wtf? man that is ginormous.

i dont have a house big enough to put that in. i'd have to watch it in my back yard.

judgez24 01-20-2008 02:02 PM

Congratulations on your purchase, looks sweet, enjoy the Super Bowl.

judgez24 01-20-2008 03:44 PM

thanks man, i dont watch football but the ufc was fantastic to watch last nite on it :D

My new tv is coming Tuesday Judge, i still got nothing though on that one you got.

I bought a new 50" plasma with full wall mount / swivel setup.

Now, im not a big console fan, but everyone here is saying to get a wii. I only have a ps2 which i rarely play, but i've been thinking maybe a ps3 ?

Anyhow, i will fire some pictures up of the tv once i get it, home reno going on right now and this was the "light at the end of the tunnel" gift. LOL

judgez24 01-20-2008 08:29 PM

nice, we have a 46 inch in the living room and its hd aswell and the pciture doesnt comapre to the 72 inch. the 46 is 3 years old now.

i had some people over last nite for the ufc and one of my buddies said i should wall mount the 72. i looked at him adn almost slapped him in the mouth. the tv isnt heavy but wtf, ive got tall ceilings and all but why would i wall mount it, lol.

i think i might go ps3 next jsut for blu ray. im gonna wait for them to come down in price though and then ill make my choice.

everyone rants about the wii, i havent had a chance to play one yet but it seems like too much excercise. which is actually nice cause kids these days sit around and do nothing but play ont he computer, kinda like us but were all old fukers lol

judgez24 01-31-2008 11:27 AM

so my hd dvd player add on for my 360 came in yesterday. i hook it up, pop in a movie and think wow, this doesnt look all that great. cant figure out why but the picture is only slightly better than regular dvd through the 360. so i get to playing with the remote and find out my tv is only displaying a 720x480 signal from the xbox. so i play around a bit and try to figure out wtf is going on, then i dip into the xbox settings and find it, 1080i hd mode. put that on, and holy moly sweet crap, 100 times cleaner, brighter, sharper. its like ive upgraded to an hd tv all over again. the movies look amazing through this bitch and cod4, well lets just say its life like now, much more than it was before :D

DDM 02-01-2008 03:14 AM

yeah HD makes a huge diff in movies...

Does your xbox support HDMI?

If it does buy one off www.monoprice.com and hook it up through that... makes a world of difference over the cables that come in the box with it...:smilie_da
