I'm selling my 60" Sony SXRD tv and ordered a 55" Sony 3D tv. goggles coming in the mail as well. I'm interested in seeing how GT5 looks, since there's a 3D mode built into it... I ordered a new HT receiver as well, since you need one with 3d pass through. Nothing special, but it'll work.

Kim Kardashians [Oops] are going to look MASSIVE

:rimshot:

Nice pickup, is that going in the bar or somewhere else? I haven't experienced 3D in a HT setting, looking forward to your impressions.

Didn't realize you had GT5. Up for some racing late night tonight?

[NY_Pete]

replacing the 60" Sony projection set. I did replace the old 50" Toshiba projection set in the basement bar with a Sony 52" LCD last fall. So now I'm switched over to all LCD tvs finally.

I underestimated how long it would take to download all the updates to that game yesterday, so I was only on to actually play for about a half hour at 11:30 last night. Hopefully I'll get more time on there in the next week. For my first car I picked up a '86 MR2 with a factory supercharger option. lol!

[Keef]

That drove me nuts... you get the game, open it up, pop it in, and then 2 hours later you get to play.

I'll send you a gift car tonight... What would you like Golf IV? e46 M3?

[NY_Pete]

[Keef]

Yellow GTI IV on BBS REs it is! I've built a decent collection so far. We should really get a lounge event going. So far that's me, you & Pua that have GT5.

Cek did you and the boys get it yet? You need it!

[Keef]

Wish they had the Kia C apostrophe D :p

Maybe a Fiat Punto in honor of Paul? Paul do you and/or Scott have it yet? Forgot you guys have PS3s too.

[Paul]

Up tomorrow if I get chance.
townsenduk is my ps3 id thing.

Nypete is on mine and Scotts friends list.

that is a killer system. care to share tips on getting something like that by the sergeant major?

i thought the Valentine 1 was a good move.

[NY_Pete]

This is going to be like top gear. Watch for me to spin out in the tyres like the celebs. :D

My current system is finding a end-of-year tv at half the original price. This way, the wife can see it's a deal, the tv is nicer than what we have, and she reaps the benefits since she watches it a bit more than I. I always make sure I have a buyer in waiting for my existing set... if you turn them over on a 2 year or so basis, you can always get a couple hundred bucks out of the old set, while keeping up with technology. The single best thing I explained to the wife in this regard was the fact that we pay $1800+ a year in cable/internet. So we might as well have tools that allow us to take advantage of that, right?

[Keef]

totally drunk and exhausted... too exausted to play GT5 but I remembered that i had promised you a car!

So I scooped up a Golf IV... but no Imola yellow option. Resprayed it in yellow, not quite a match but pretty close.

Threw on some BBS RS.... but the car looked... off. Needed a drop.

Long story short ~$120k later you've got a stage 2 modified, lightweight GTI, with fully adjustable suspension, transmission, upgraded drivetrain, racing tires etc blah blah =)

Enjoy!

[Keef]

might be a little too performance oriented, we need something like the C'D or the Suzuki Liana or chevy Lacetti...

Maybe one of the Daihatsus... looks annoying to drive.

Thrashed every race in the first two cups by more than 8 seconds each!
