Seriously, what exactly is the point of spending THOUSANDS OF POUNDS on something that has virtually no content available at the moment?
Unless you have a high disposable income & can afford to just throw money away (& AFAIK, you do not), then it seems to me that this is a rather foolish waste of money (especially given the need to save for a wedding, if an earlier poster was correct?). Still, your money I guess...
I don't get why you even bothered to create this thread... you obviously weren't really after any actual advice, as it seems your mind was made up all along. And if it was actually a thinly veiled attempt at bragging, well, I don't think that has worked tbh... |
My main aim for getting this was to use the TV as an upgrade to the 50 inch plasma i already have, i think the future is with 3D and mostly 3D gaming.
Yes, i'm sceptical of buying it because of the price but i also feel its going to last a fair few years with it being already 3D ready, and already HD Ready.
I'm not bragging Matt, I was looking for opinions, and I got them, my mind was 70-30 for getting the TV mainly because of the launch of Playstation move, Gran Tourismo 5, and 3D, all at the same time.
The movies are a bonus, and it seems theres more and more becoming available each month, i dont expect to sit and watch 3D movies 24 hours a day for weeks on end, but i feel 3dtv is a bonus in itself, so when a 3d movie is released on blu ray, we can enjoy it at home, in the meantime we can enjoy what the PS3 has to offer in terms of 3D gaming and also, motion gaming. Combine that with 5.1 surround sound and you're immersed in what technology has to offer.
I feel personally that this TV will last 5 years without thinking of upgrading, in which time i've already enjoyed what the 3D has to offer, even if i choose to upgrade again before that, i havent lost anything, ive still got a HD tv.
I'm certainly not kicking myself over the decision, i thought most of you would be going out and buying one already before me.
