Good choice. I have the 52" and it's one of the best TVs for a PS3. Tweak with the video settings when you get it and make sure the RGB setting is set to full. It will look fantastic. Oh, hope you have a HDMI/Component cable.

Well the Manager of Rent-A-Center put the order in for me..but he did say that possibly it could be in their shipment this coming Monday.That's because these TV's just arrived to the company and their shipping to various Rent-A-Center.So I hope the store I go to gets it on Monday.

God didn't you make a thread about this very same thing ealier?

Like I said B4 just don't play it and Wait for your HDTV.

On the topic of R-A-C how much is it costing you to rent that tv?

Well I'm going to buy it.If you buy and pay it all within 90 days of purchase they don't charge you that much.That TV retails for 2,000 dollars,so through financing it'll probaly cost me about 3,000 dollars.

That TV costs about $1600. If you end up paying $3k for it I see why you have bad credit. And paying $700 for a PS3 when they are readily available in the store for $400? Are you sane?

I know what your saying,but I am very impatient have always been even as a kid when I want something it has to be now.Plus I don't regret it because I don't spend my money on anything else.I don't buy clothes,not into having car payments,not into bars and clubs,I don't have a girl..so this is my major hobby so I really don't mind.

I'm still confused... Do you live in the US? If you do I have no idea why you would pay $700 for a $400 PS3 that could be had just down the street. And if you're impatient and willing to pay nearly twice as much as you should for a PS3, why aren't you willing to just buy a new HDTV instead of ripping yourself off through a hick trap like Rent-a-Center?

No, it's more like: RAC is good for people who like getting ripped off and don't understand how to budget properly

If you have bad credit why not save for a few months instead of wasting it on RAC.

Well, like someone already said, I guess we all know why you have bad credit.

I hope you have fun with your PS3... You'd better if you paid $700 for it.

After 5 threads of yours reached 3+ pages full of people telling you just how dumb this was...you go ahead and do it anyway.

I understand why you are 35, divorced, and living with your parents. I understand why you have absolutely terrible credit. What I DON'T understand is why you think a $10.00 an hour pizza shop manager's job at a no-name pizza store is going to support this. You do realize that with mom and pop franchises business can go south in a matter of weeks. To the point where your boss has to close down.

There comes a time when brutal honesty is the only way to explain something...so here, maybe it will change you in some way? I doubt it...but maybe...

You are paying $1700 more for what you are buying than what they are worth. With that $1700 you could easily set yourself up to getting your credit back on the right track. With $1700 you could invest in a company and double your money within 2-3 years. If you would just be smart, instead of blowing your earnings on horribly overpriced rental schemes you might not have to live with your parents. Why don't you want to live by yourself? To be independent?

And no, I don't care what you say, your parents do not want you to live with them. You are 35 years old and everything you do reflects on how they raised you. It hurts them to see you living at home at your age. What are you going to do when they die? Have you thought of that? Will your $10.00 an hour, 0 credit, and atrocious spending habits keep you from living in a box? Only time will tell...but I think anybody who has read your threads knows with 95% certainty what will happen if you keep living your life like a child.
