Well… DR’s birthday is getting more and more expensive every year that goes by.
First I think it was a couple of t-shirts, the second year was a PSP unit, then last year was the Wii and the supermagical iPhone that he still kisses when I’m not looking. This year, I wanted to continue in the “electronic” vain and after months and months of shopping, we have finally chosen the flat screen TV we wanted:

We debated a long time, ever since Christmas really, should we go for 42″, 52″, no the 46″ is perfect. Do we need 720dpi or max it at 1080dpi? For our video game playing, we cannot accept anything less than the 120mgh processor, for sure we need that. Now just how many HDMI connectors do we need? 3 minimum at least, maybe 4?. Samsung? Sony? Toshiba? Panasonic? Samsung please, that cool one with the blue neon light underneath the logo… yes, that’s the one.

Well, all that research went out the door this week when I saw the ultra cool 50″ Samsung (with the blue neon light under the logo) Plasma screen at an ultra low price. We realized that since HD tv is Canada will only broadcast at 720dpi for the next 3 yrs, we didn’t really 1080dpi. We also realized that plasma is best for fast action, so we won’t be needing the 120mgh processor the LCD units come with. Plus, after looking up the rave reviews online AND talking to people at work who have one too, we were sold.

The new baby will be coming home on Saturday, one day after DR’s birthday, but I’ll have a little something wrapped for him to open on his birthday morning.

Oh yeah, and we went to play video games after. Check it out at DR’s site:


This is me in the last position… but I managed to get to first in the race and then finished at 4th… not bad for an old timer.
