There's a reliable mathetmatical formula for answering this question.

x = ( y - z )

where

y = the current year

z = the year of your birth

if

x is less than 12 you get a Wii

x is greater than 12 you get a 360

Well at least she let you get a 56" HDTV and FiOS TV, so she can't be all bad. ;)

Ya, she's really cool about it and we have similiar viewing tastes.  Except for her crap like Grey's Anatomy and America's Next Top Model the TV has been really good for us.

I laugh at all those who cave into consumerism and pay through the nose for a television that gives minimal improvements to picture quality, the difference is neither here no there plus few channels actually broadcast in HD anyway.

The picture improvements are extremely noticeable, especially on a 56" HDTV. Further, we have Verizon FiOS TV and a great deal of highdef programming. In fact, we never even bother shows that aren't broadcast in HD.

Is this some sort of sales pitch? Who is we? A company? Your family? Your imaginary pet goose?

"We" is me and Satan Incarnate, who is also known as my wife.

No, she refers to this board as "The Nerdery".  :(

720p HDTVs aren't overrated, just overpriced. 1080p is highly overrated and overpriced.Michael85

I got a new 56" 1080p for $1,700 shipped to my door and I considered it very reasonable.

I agree, this one is about a compulsive liar who also happens to be emotionally invested in a corporation (Microsoft).

yes..ANYONE who says something you don't know about is a "compulsive liar"...:lol:

i don't normally report idiots just ask dire weasel, but in your case i'll make an exception...;)

it's nice you agreed with me tho..:roll:

Isn't saying you'll report someone a direct violation of the TOS?  I'm also amused that a 40 year old man makes such liberal use of emoticons.   

[QUOTE="ramey70"][QUOTE="tango90101"]

um...no...i'm talking about the EU studios...

they're not backing bluray...

i don't know how many studios there are, but it's not looking good to have both NA and EU against bluray...

maybe japan will save it... ooops... never mind...:D

tango90101

So you don't know how many studios are in the EU, just that they're backing HD-DVD. Compelling evidence.

how many EU studios are putting out bluray movies? hint: NONE.

there's your evidence...

wtf...:lol:

What do you consider an "EU Studio"?  One that only releases movies in europe or that also releases NA movies in Europe?
