After Turkey Day dinner drove by Best Buy that is on my way home at around 11 PM just to see how many crazy shoppers there were. There was a line wrapped around the building! There were tents, sleeping bags, etc everywhere. I saw this couple drive up in a fat Mercedes at 11 to line up and I was like WTF why do they need to spend 7 hours in line?!?! Anyways I am not that hard core so I went home and slept. Woke up at around 8am and went to Best Buy & Circuit City with my sister. Only got the 300 dvd for like 6 bucks. Was unable to find a tv.

Later that night I went back to Circuit City because I saw a Sony online for sale for 1299.99. I went in the store, agonized about the decision, and when the salesman told me it was actually 1199.99 I was sold instantly. I was debating the decision to buy a slightly better spec Samsung online, but when I saw that very Samsung with a dead pixel at the store, I took that as a sign that I shouldn’t risk having to ship a TV back because of a defect. So in the end I purchased 1080P 40 inch LCD screen, Model KDL-40v2500. Now to purchase a Xbox 360 soon.

Here are some quick shots of the TV setup.
