The only reason I have a TV is for games, otherwise I'd just go to the movies once in a while and save a ton on cable which is COMPLETE CRAP. If you're not watching cable TV you're missing nothing. But it was stupid of me to say I hate movies because nobody hates movies.
Anyway check out my vintage audio set up I put together for about $130 (most expensive thing being the headphones)
80's CD player and headphones, 70's receiver and speakers
thirty year old receiver still works and it's American MADE what a surprise
Oh and here's something cool about HDTVs, you can hook vintage audio equipment to it, can you do that with an 80's TV Sekto? That's a pretty potent mix my friend. You could not get this kind of set up for ANYWHERE NEAR $130 in a store, which is bad for students and broke ass motherfuckers like myself.
