That's awesome :D

I like that wooden vessel on top of your DVD lazy susan there. What is it? It looks like some kind of wooden apple. Was it handmade?

It looks like it was turned on a lathe. In fact the finish kind of looks like Watco, which is a popular finish among woodturners.

How many movies do you have? :D

Yup, just now! :D Nah, lol, just kiddin. For some stupid reason, I keep a list of my DVDs on my computer. Lame obsession I guess. Though it has one good use; if I'm in a store and looking for a new DVD or two, I check my list on my PDA and to see if I have already bought it. I bought one or two DVDs twice forgetting that I already had them. :eek: Also, I keep a "to buy list" that I have thought of beforehand, that way I don't just "impulse buy" DVD's. I try to stick to my list only buying DVDs that I really want and will watch over again.

Haha, that sounds like it can be a problem when you have so many movies. :D

Are you planning on getting Blu-Ray anytime soon?

We checked one out when we bought our new LCD, it looked freaking awesome!! Really clear, great color and great sound! Alas, they are about $1000 clams! Sooooo, that will be something for next year when the prices drop a bit. Also, there is a battle going on between the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formates and I want to see who wins before buyning either one. It looks like Blu-Ray has the lead at this point. Time will tell who prevails! :D

Same here. They're crazy expensive. I think HD DVD will win though, because Blu-Ray is proprietary to Sony, and we all know what happened to Betamax. :D

Good point on the Blu-Ray proprietary point, that is one of my reasons for letting the dust settle before blowing a wad of cash on either one. http://forum.bullshit.com/images/icons/icon3.gif Both look great. And, yup, the BetaMax problem will haunt Sony for some time to come.

On the other hand, you never know. Sony may have seen the Betamax disaster as a challenge. If they're determined enough, they might be able to push Blu-Ray to the top. I'm like you, though. I usually wait until a technology is firmly established (usually because I can't afford it, but still :D) before I buy it.

On the other hand, you never know. Sony may have seen the Betamax disaster as a challenge. If they're determined enough, they might be able to push Blu-Ray to the top. I'm like you, though. I usually wait until a technology is firmly established (usually because I can't afford it, but still :D) before I buy it.
I would be pissed if I went with HD-DVD, bought a ton of movies, and they fadded away. http://forum.bullshit.com/images/icons/icon13.gif But, I think you are right, Blu-Ray looks like it has a firm lead. http://forum.bullshit.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Thanks, man...Yeah, the TV/Sound System rocks. I've been pigging out on movies lately. Freaking sickening! All weekend eating pizza and drinking Coke with my eyes glued to the "tube." Just watched The da Vinci Code. It sucked, even with a decent entertainment system. I don't recommend it. Really boring.
