I couldn't believe this when I saw it. There is something about big TVs that want me to sell all my worldly possessions just to buy one. Here's a perfect example.

Samsung LN-T4065F 40" 1080p LCD HDTV + Free Samsung Wall Mount ($799.99 value!)



Crutchfield.com price $1699.99, free shipping + Samsung Wall Mount.

Please, god. Let me win exactly $1699.99 in the lottery. No? Why, I swear I've been good. Oh, well. I hate all you HDTV whores anyways. So, there!

My First Post: R.I.P. HD-DVD

1:24 PM / Posted by Nico Atienza / comments (0)

As many of you have already heard, the final nail in HD-DVD's coffin was when Toshiba backed the PS3. As with the VHS and Beta Max battle, one had to come out on top. Industry players flip flopped a bunch of times, but a winner had to come out eventually. Hooray for Sony. As for me, I'm still years away from HD. As soon as I can afford to buy a HDTV, and then sell my soul to buy a Blu-Ray device, then I will be up to High Def-fed. Till then, it's living like a poor college student with (gulp) analog, non-HDMI viewing for me.


Microsoft's loss is actually no one's gain. You can get the HD-DVD external player for the XBox 360 for $50 almost everywhere. Retailers around the web are slashing the price to get rid of what is now an unsupported, legacy format. If you want to snag a piece of Microsoft history, then it's your time to pounce. I found a $50 HD-DVD extension on Amazon.
Are you mourning HD-DVD? Or screaming for victory like the Spartans in '300' for Blu-Ray? Let me know.

!!Update!! Amazon is also throwing in 5 HD-DVDs with a rebate.
