I have picked my new hdtv, now help me renovate my room
« on: April 14, 2007, 06:00:10 PM »
I went to Best Buy and had them test stuff on the tv I'm looking at. I thought it looked pretty good, and then the guy suggested we test out this other Samsung that costs about 200 dollars more. The difference was staggering. 1100 is the price and it's going to be my pick.

No interest for 12 months. I applied for Best Buy's credit card and got approved.

I have to get prepared for the hdtv by moving my room around. I'm going to take my desk out, as well as my bookshelves. I'm also going to to need a new entertainment center cabinet or whatever. If anyone has any suggestions it would really help. Since my desk is where all of my electronic hardware goes it needs to have ample amount of space. I like having quite a few consoles + satelite hooked up at the same time, so I'm going to have to ample room for my ps2, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Xbox along with my Xbox 360 Elite I'm getting with the set. There may be no reason at all to hook up my Xbox after all of this when I get the 360, and it could go in the closet along with my psx, snes, and Genesis.

Another issue I have is my collection. My collection is already taking too much space on my bookshelf. What's a good tower that holds dvds and games and doesn't take that much room? I have cd wallets for all of my games, but I like to have their cases out in display.

Lemme tell you what, this set is so...sexy. Unf.

Oh god. Wait, no interest on the payments for 12 months? You better pay that shit off fast. I remember when my dad did this (practically the same thing. 65" widescreen HDTV on a BestBuy card) it was 21%.

Nice TV though. The Wal-Mart near me has an abundance of CD/DVD tower racks that sound similar to what you're looking for, and they're cheap. Target would work too.

You think?

Yeah, I plan on paying it off fast. I figure it should take me only 4-6 months to pay it all.

don't fuck up on those payments.  If you're late on one payment by one minute, you negate the 12 months interest free and the interest also becomes retroactive.  ENJOY

But the payment is like 34 dollars a month. At minimum. I just don't see how it's possible to fuck up if you save.

Thanks for the heads up.

Phht. I'm going to get the Elite likely at launch and I want to have an hd tv when I get it. It would be torture paying for the 360 and then not having an hdtv to play it on.

Get that second one for the tv. They do make a white version of that samsung as well. If you want to color cordinate. And yeah they prey on peoples forgetfulness with those cards. Its pretty ridiculous what those credit card companys get away with.

Good luck with the room.

If you can, take the contract home and scan it.

I'm bored.  I want to see the fine print.

Yes, a scan of the best buy contract.  I'm pretty sure there's some fee somewhere there.
