3D HDTV? Hmm that is going to be sweet! Anyways, I bet you are really pleased about the HD DVD add on for the 360..... When are you going to upgrade the PS2 to a PS3?

As far as me I've got 42" HD Plasma, Yamaha Digital receiver (7.1 DTS), Yamaha Fronts with 12" side firing subs in each, Yamaha center, Sony tower speakers as surrounds with 2x8 subs in each, and a random rear center channel, PlayStation3 handles the BluRays beautifully through HDMI of course. And yeah MGS4 is amazing MUCH better than GTA4, beat both of them in a week or so, and I like Grid better than GT5 Prologue.

Saw the 3D TVs at CES this last year... Insane... Infact it's creepy...

Some of them you have to be standing in a fixed position for them to work, others do require polarized glasses. A few DLP TVs can support dual projection for 3D right now.

But IMO the Next big thing will be UHD OLED TVs... the UHD TVs are insane as well, I thought I was looking out a window even though I was in the middle of the Las Vegas Convention Center. And OLED Blacks are TRUE black, which is crazy, they look photorealistic, and they're paper thin (ok more like 1" thin). Combine UHD and OLED and I bet dogs and cats start jumping through the TV.

I bet dogs and cats start jumping through the TV.

I don't know but I read that and couldn't stop laughing.

"I don't know but I read that and couldn't stop laughing."

It does conjure up quite a mental image...especially if they're jumping OUT of the screen.
You would have to be REALLY careful what you were watching...& keep a gun full of tranquilizer darts by the La-Z-Boy...

No time soon. I work with the PS3 and find it to be a huge hunk of junk, for now. It needs a couple of gens before it is capable of doing what it is advertised to do. I do thank MS and Sony for turning their whiney !@#$% fighting into a waste of consumer time and money. Sony and MS should reimburse me.

I didn't laugh - I flashed back to the scene from the 'Ring' where the little ghoul climbed out of the TV to kill the guy. Don't know why but that always bothered me.

Gary, how can your drink those green bottles of urine?!?!?!?

Anyway, nice systems guys. Once I get my room totally set, I'll post a photo.

James, your audio system is totally sick. It kinda ruined mine for me.

Maybe next summer I will drop a nice bank roll on a new audio system.

Bart, thanks for the kudos!
It was a pleasure to have you all over and see the reactions!
You would be surprised how much a great receiver can make a difference in even a mediocre audio system. I would suggest upgrading the receiver and a big sub first. I can get you killer deals on similar equipment when you are ready...
Best,

My system is all fairly old. It includes a Pioneer 47" HDTV, Sony STR-D 1011S Reciever, Nackamichi cassette deck (I'm sure 1or2 of you remember cassettes), Design Acoustics satallite speakers with 12" downward firing sub, and a Toshiba SD3980 DVD player.
I picked up the speakers and cassette deck over 20 years ago while in Japan and they still sound very good. I actually wanted to get a pair of Klipsh horn's while over there but the shipping would have been outragous due to their 4ft x 4ft x 4ft size and weight....but man did they sound sweet and were super efficient (of course another downfall to them was placing them in a room...they were BIG).
If you are ever in Japan you need to check out the sound and video floors of a store called Dieechi's (sp?). It is amazing!

And you know what is truly gonna be awesome on a great home system (one day within the next.... year, I hope)....

If you are as big an old school fan as I am, you are probably as giddy as me. :bwgr: GOD I can't wait!

[snowtrooper1966]

Saw the trailer for the Watchmen @ the Dark Knight IMAX show. I do remember reading the trade paperback, but it has been a long time. I need to reread it. Trailer looked good.
I personally can't wait for the Dark Knight on Blu, that should be reference material!
Best,
