No intent to cut anyone. Just seems like I'm pointing out the obvious.

Ah... but in another category $30,650 gets you http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0311724630

A further premium for that "vintage & antique" cachet?

I'm sure that the original packaging being present for that item greatly increases the value. :wink:

Hi,

its treatable with antibiotics, but you have to catch it early - only about a day after infection.

Cheers,

It's not that bad; you just die.

Not so fast! It's either ancient demons, zombies, radioactive mutants, or a combination thereof.

Just got my brand new 50" Plasma TV (with THX picture certification) with blue-ray DVD player up and running. I may not be back to the website for some time.

ashmire13,

I think that I will get the Xbox. To be honest, I think the 50" is just a little too big. The 46" might have been a little better.

think I'd need to sit in the garden if I had anything that big anyway...

I really chose the PS3 due to inbuilt blu-ray about a year ago when it was way cheaper than buying a blu-ray player on its own... I did toy with getting the XBox360 but tbh, I'm too much of a Sony whore... :oops:

Be careful with plasmas, my brother had his 50" Plasma TV stop working after 3.5 years because it got to hot and something in the back popped (should cost him around $400-800 to get fixed) So don't buy into the half life they promote for the screen, because they don't tell you about the components that'll go a lot sooner when the thing heats up.
