[quote=barnaby33]FLU I had the exact same thought. The advert was front and center on the website. I thought, wow, my cheap ass might buy one! Now that’s deflation, pre-xmas deflation!

Yes, I was looking at the combo deal…52″ and 36″… Here’s my dilema…While I think the idea of one for the family and one for the bedroom is nice….Unfortunately, I was one of the early adopters that has a 42″ plasma in the bedroom and 25″ trintron old tube in the family.
(don’t ask, but among other reasons,
*keeps the guests away when you have a sh1tty tv in the main area
*gives me an excuse to my daughter why she can’t watch too much tv.
*The cabinet I have right now was some junk I bought from sears/kmart for $100 12 years ago that is made out of particle board. I’d like to get an custom cabinet put in, but until recently carpenters/etc have wanted an arm and leg for custom work.)
The old tube has a door falling off, the remote doesn’t quite work anymore, and I keep saying, I’ll wait until the ole Trinitron breaks before I replace it with a flat screen. Well, it is a trinitron, and short of pouring water in it, I doubt it will break. for awhile..And I don’t like the idea of donating it, or throwing it away..Anyway, with these prices, it’s really tempting, though it’s probably gonna fall considerably lower…..
Anyway, I wouldn’t know what to do with the 32″.., I just thought the price for the two 52″ and 32″ were about how much I paid for the plasma, which is just nuts. I wish they sold just the 52″ less $500 from the combo…Oh well, i guess I’ll wait until 52″ are below $1k.
Side note: I just wonder if some of the stucco boxes these days can take 52″ tv. I’m looking at my family room, and it seems like 52″ might be overkill. There’s about a 15-18ft distance from the seating area to where the tv is. I’m just wondering if the screen size is a bit big. They just don’t make family rooms like they use to… 🙁
Anyway, the deals at costco is tempting…You think they’d take foodstamps? Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
