Inspired by Randy's recent purchase and my obsessive searching for the perfect TV, I am curious with what other people are thinking about treating themselves with.

I have basically narrowed down weeks of research into HDTV with a choice of the Samsung 40'' LCD 1080p HDTV with the addition of the Oppo DV-981HD 1080p upscaling DVD player. I don't feel comfortable purchasing an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player just yet as who knows when this war will end so this upscaler is the best on the market and should hold me over. Shame I won't have it before tomorrow afternoon but it's exciting! biggrin.gif

No, I'm talking audio receiver - with book shelf and surround sound speakers. It doesn't have the ability to decode HD sound.

For $35 you'll get a piece of garbage. It's more expensive for something that will hold a plasma.

OH!!

You have an Old AUDIO RECEIVER; your head to your surround system.... Okay... rolleyes.gif I'm retarted; excuse me~

How do you 'have a feeling' about if it'll work or not? Does it have the optical in port?

I was thinkin you were refering to your cable box because i see alot of people running coaxial or old' a/v rca wires and wondering why their picture/audio looks and sounds the same even though spend mad money on these highdef things.

And i just clicked back and double checked... I did say $35... When i MENT $350 rolleyes.gif

Hahahaha- $35 dollars won't even buy you a table to put a 12inch 'Sponge-Bob' tv on. lol laugh.gif I'm talking about Glass shelfs with built in plasma brackets. lol. Me and the Mrs. was wanting a real stand for our tv (instead of the coffee table with a nice table cloth over it) and we've been seeing alot of the plasma "Stations" as i've been calling em.

What games are you going to looking for on PS3?
