The TV is here!
Even though I was less than a hundred bucks from having enough to get my new TV, I caved and bought it anyway. I bought a 26″ Sanyo LCD for about five-hundred at Wal*Mart. I got home, hooked it up, and after a bit of set-up, I got it up and running.
I don’t have any HD channels, but I didn’t buy it to watch TV, really. Nope, this baby was meant for the 360. After getting that hooked up (that took a bit more trouble-shooting, but nothing difficult), I turn on the console, change my settings to Hi-Def, and load the BioShock Demo.
OH. MY. F’ING. GOD. The game looked gorgeous running on 15 year old tube, but on HD… I’m tellin’ ya, if my wife wasn’t there on the couch with me, I probably would’ve tried to make love to the TV. That just further added to my desire to get BioShock on Tuesday. Brandi even said, after she watched a bit of the gameplay, “You need to get that game”. The girl’s got taste, even if she did marry me.

Welcome to the realm of HDTV owners…and thanks for the mildly disturbing mental imagery? I don’t have an HD-capable game console yet, but we’re working on getting a Wii and I may be saving up for a PS3 if for no other reason than I want to see the next Final Fantasy game in gender-bending Hi-Def.
It’ll be awhile for the next FF game. Last I heard, FF13 won’t be ready for Japan until the third quarter of 2008, and it usually takes six months, at least, to port it to the states.
