My poor dad bought a Samsung DLP 61 720p inch five years ago for about $7K. Now that same TV is 1080p and probaly around $2K.
I like that philosophy. It reminds me of when I bought my PS2, the cashier at Best Buy seemed like he was trying to stop me from spending money. He was going on and on about how I should just wait until the PS3 came out because as soon as it did I'd want that instead (basically telling me that I was an idiot for buying the PS2 at the time). Well, that was back in 2002, so I'm glad I didn't take his advice because I got a good 6 years out of that PS2. I am mad that I didn't decide to spend my money at Circuit City though just to spite the D-bag cashier.

Nice!

In regards to consoles (PS2, xbox, Wii, etc...) the only reason to upgrade them is for better graphics. But as the Wii has provided gameplay is the real X-factor when it comes to games. I don't care how awesome the graphics are if the gamepaly sucks why paly it. I bet a million bucks there are more fun games on PS2 right now then there are on PS3.
