Your media set-up (no pictures).
I love seeing peoples pictures of their theatre set-ups but I often wonder about if they also use DirectTV/Cable type hook-ups as part of their media centers. With the price of HDTVs going down and I can't believe I saw a $27 DVD player in purple at Walmart the other day, remember when you couldn't get one for under $400.00 in 97-98. Now HD and BR have dropped $100 and by X-mas I expect to see HD for 300 and BR for under 600, even less when used as an internal drive in computers. I also do watch DVD on my computer and have saved up for a Mac Pro that I hope to link to my TV and have a Blu-ray drive, maybe also a HD drive.
1) Do you have sat or cable? I have Comcast Trinity - phone/TV/Internet
2) Do you have a HDTV? 32inch Sony Mavica
3) Do you have a HD or BR player? Nope, not yet. Still waiting for them to be reasonable in price.
4) Do you rent or buy HD/BR video at this time. Nope, not yet.
5) Do you have a game console. Yes, old X-Box. You can get games real cheap now, same for PS2. Too bad PSP games are still too expensive.
