I don't get it either.

I still have my "plain old" RCA TV from 10 years ago. Works fine.

Every time I think of how cool the new stuff is, I remind myself that it's still the same *****ty programming you'll be watching on it, and my motivation vanishes.

For sports or movies it might be kind of cool, but I can go watch the game down at the local bar on THEIR $2,000 plasma TVs for the price of a beer that I like anyway. Versus spending the $2,000 myself.

I don't really get it either. If television programming stopped sucking so badly, I'd have more motivation to watch on HDTV maybe. Until then, I guess I don't care enough to waste my money on "consumer electronics", which is almost a guaranteed waste of money.
