I too have developed an attachment to material goods, that are not cars nor phones.

We just bought this un (http://au.lge.com/products/model/enlarge/tv_lcdtv_fullhdtv_52lg70yd.jhtml), 47 inches. I got some HD cables and finally my xbrick is looking right. The characters in Street Fighter IV are Vern Troyer size.

It's a friend for this one, (http://au.lge.com/products/model/detail/tv_lcdtv_integratedhdtv_37lg30d.jhtml) which we've had for about 2 years (42 inch).

Since we moved into the house that loans built, you could assume we've become accustomed to a certain standard of living, but we wouldn't have either one if Wifegirl wasn't able to get us invites to the Rick Hart V.I.P sale (both times we bought a new TV). We got about 30% off retail on each.

I know people like Plasma, but for gaming I much prefer LCD.I guess. Who really knows? When we bought the second one I joked "Man, there's people in the world who can't afford to eat!" and bought everyone's mood right down for about 3 seconds.

idk anyone who likes plasma. they are like 6% of the market.

LG's are real nice though, good buy.

one a living room and the other a bedroom tv? or the duel video game/tv tv setup from the college days?

Nah, we got 2 living rooms. One's mine, one's hers. Works a treat.

All I hear people here say is plasma this plasma that, I've been made to feel like I'm making a bad choice with LCD but the shit is fine with me.

When Rudd's 900 comes in there is going to be a price RISE for big fuck off TVs and shit, because poor people will be too excited at the prospect of having a chance at a wide screen TV they wont care what they pay for it. I bet.

Anyone ever think about selling all their shit and living a life of not so much crap?

Seriously, I do. I move once a year or so and each year I have at least one extra car full of stuff. And about 50% of that is just storage of things. Like books and toys, computer parts, guitars, tools, bikes - I horde things!

And I'm going traveling later this year, I have to pay for storage and also find somewhere secure for my motorbike and car. Its just like man, I really need to stop buying crap - but I still will.

I just bought a new TV today. I already have a massive LCD TV back in Germany, but I wanted a new one for my room at home. Only a 32" but it's big enough for the room and is an LG Full HD one.

How can it be a failure to have the will to not have to find happiness in possessions?

I can afford a new t.v., I just would rather not get one when I like the one I have. I honestly don't like HD all that much, it makes me dizzy. I watch t.v. shows on my stupid old laptop most of the time anyway.

I'm gonna buy and LCD too mostly for Street Fighter 4 ( I could barely see the fonts). I enjoy playing on the projector but I prefer to play in my room.

Yeah it's pretty slick. I never even realised how sick GTA IV looked until I plaed it in 1080i. Hahaha I don't even know what that is, but it looks orright.

I know what you mean, ever since I went to the SF4 Party Launch the LCD screen they had over there made me LOVE (y)

unfortunately I dont work so I have to scavenge for money. This week alone I made 120 bucks. If I manage to get 200 by the second week I will get the LCD during this month.

nah I do get money from family members but I mostly find money in places where maybe some people would lose like in libraries or markets or gas stations ( fuck, I sound like a hobo). Sometimes I pick up simple jobs people are just handing. You guys know some people in real estates would hire almost anyone to go clean house for about $50 to $500 dollars. Thats how I got my PS3 by just cleaning 2 houses and it was split money.
