The only thing you need money for is to buy weapons. I reccomend the colt .45.

In all honesty HD is amazing at first, but after the wow factor goes away there just isn't enough programming yet. I recently canceled my HD service when VOOM busted out and really haven't missed it. It will be a lot better in a few years.

Depends on where you live (for sports) and what interests you. I hate watching regular tv now.

Also Directv sucks, they rape you on the equipment, see how your local cable provider is (Comcast in my area is an A+). Directv can go to hell!

Also straight rear projection is not that good. You stand up or watch it to an angle it is pitiful.

You just need to shop smarter. I have a 30" LCD HDTV, it cost me $800 and it rules.

Indeed. Take half the cash you were planning on spending and buy a slightly lesser tv. Ebay ebay ebay. There are many decent used HDTV's out there that are still perfectly good. You be surprised the deals you will find. Just find a quality one for local pickup. Also check craigslist.com.

I'll agree that $800 < $2,000, but you must also concede that 30" < 42".
