BestBuy pulls the plug...

BestBuy announced today that it will be pulling the plug and taking analog TV's off life support as of October 1st. They've instructed all stores to pull analog TV's off the shelves and will no longer sell the soon to be dinosaur televisions. They will be dealing in only digital TV's now - plasmas, LCD's and the like.

It's becoming much more attractive everyday it seems to be the proud new owner of an HDTV. The prices are coming down and I've heard that Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday shopping season will be one of the best times to buy if you're thinking about taking the plunge into the crystal clear waters of high definition TV before the end of the year...

tv: sopranos

It's almost October and according to what I've seen, the final episodes of The Sopranos will be out on DVD so I can finally see what happened to Tony and the gang - or rather, what didn't happen. I've been trying to steer clear of anything spoiler related to the finale which was especially difficult just after it aired. In the mean time, I can reminisce by watching clips from the past...

Remember when Christopher went through drug rehabilitation after his intervention?

i-Caught

Have you watched i-Caught yet? It's on ABC Tuesday nights at 9 PM. It's an hour-long show that I'm an episode behind on my TiVo, but it's an interesting show especially for a blogger like me who likes to stay informed on trends and the latest Internet gossip. The show details videos we see in the mainstream media and things experienced on the Internet and gives you insight into the behind the scenes aspects of the videos. If you haven't caught (no pun intended) an episode, you should check it out...

Truckload of Plasmas for $9999

WHAT? 50 Plasma TV's for under $10 grand? There has to be a catch. The deal is that there's a semi truck loaded with over 50 TV's that were damaged during shipment with the insurance claim on most of them being "broken screens". Now, I don't have a clue how much someone could salvage from all those broken TV's, but I do know that a Pioneer 50" Plasma costs around $2,000 and there are 10 of them (including a 60") and a Panasonic 42" Plasma retails for about $1500 and up and there are 29 of these on the truck ranging from 42" to 58" models. Wow - if only 5 or 6 of these 50+ TV's worked and just had minor cosmetic damage, you could recoup the cost. What's more is that the seller has 100% positive feedback rating which is outstanding for a wholesale distributor - or, anyone else for that matter.

Can anyone out there loan me 10 grand?
