I was gonna get that TV too, but I decided it was just too much to spend on a television. Those panasonic plasmas are sweet.

Dunno about directTV but time warner lets you rent a HD DVR for 7 bucks a month... I think its a pretty good deal, especially considering you can attach an external HD so you can keep stuff you record long after you return it. Plus, anytime you want you can trade it in to get the latest and greatest model.

i'm here in communist canada so i have to play with who the government lets me.

tivo ain't here yet, but should be soon.

i might just have to figure out how to hack into it tho, having a copy of the entire season in HD would be sweet.

I, unfotunately have to agree, it wasn't until berlin was in at the end did the game seem to move a little...now I wished we'd had a scrimage before the PS game started..they help you look better in the ps...go figure.

don't think the dvds would be high def or the right aspect ratio

PaulB, in the final analysis, do you think it's worth the money for HD?

they wouldn't, but you could fit the entire season in HD on one hard drive. Well worth a $50 investment.

IMO, HD is worth it if you have watch enough tv to justify the money.

I get time warner, but I might switch to dish network soon. The pure-hd channel selection is limited, but they're expanding, and discovery channel and tnt are good. If you're a fan of popular shows you'll find a lot of them are in HD (CSI, Leno/Letterman, Sportscenter, Desperate Hoochiemama's etc.) Watching sportscenter gives you a great idea of just how much better HD looks. The show and some game clips are recorded in HD, but a lot of the game film isn't. When they transition scenes, you can tell the difference immediately.

Very nice HD CRT's can be had for 600+. I needed a flat panel for space consideration, so my choices were LCD or Plasma. Panasonic's newer plasmas advertise 60,000 hours life and low burn in, and I wanted the 42" HD model but it was too much money. The ED model was $1300ish, but I wanted true HD. I bought a 27" HD LCD for $850, and I'm very happy with it. When prices come down in a couple of years, I can move it to my computer desk and get a bigger panel (and a kick-ass gaming monitor.)
