Thanks to a larger-than-expected bonus check, TSG finally entered the modern age of Digital Television last week. Of course, once you get a TV that accepts 1080, the old "regular" DVD player has to go. You need a network-enabled Blu Ray player to go along with it! No 5.1 upgrade on the sound system, though; we decided to stick with our primitive but effective 3-system "wall of sound". (TruSurrond HD/Klipsch 2.1 THX/Pioneer-Bose)
This new set up raises the question: why are there so many, many CRAP movies out on Blu Ray? Where's Lawrence of Arabia, people? I mean, come on, you can get Sharktopus on Blu Ray, fer chissake! Hmm...now wait a minute...what if the Sharktopus had frigging lazer beams mounted on it's head? Now that would be worth seeing in HD!
