Thanks for the encouragement!!! The last TV I bought was my 20 incher... in 1995, ROFL.
Anyhoo, I'll let y'all know when it is all set up for some loverly TV watching. And I am getting Mr. Cheese to figure out how much more expensive it is to get the HD cable from Time Warner than whatever we're getting right now (our landlord doesnt allow satellite TV, or a roof antenna). I know you can get HD thru bunny ears but.... that's just SO low tech.
So in a few months maybe I'll have enough to get the rear speakers, but in the meantime, the Wii should be extra fun in widescreen. I'm totally re-playing Zelda.
Wierd thing tho that I should have looked out for -- apparently Circuit City (which I thought had OK customer service) has really terrible customer service, according to some online reviews. anyone here ever have an issue with them?
Also I did not buy the extended warranty option, since I've always been of the ilk that if something is catastrophically wrong with a new piece of electronics, it'll break in the first month anyway. Is getting the extended warranty a huge waste of money like I think it sounds like? (it does NOT protect against things like spills or throwing the Wiimote against the TV)
