Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread
Still, as a customer of a new set, if you get it home and you just don't LIKE it, won't most stores let you return it within X amount of days? Just a sort of "Wasn't what I expected" sort of thing? ...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread
Seds, I literally gave it back to my son without having finished it (Heavy Rain) because it was more like an interactive movie and never felt like a game. It was entirely linear (ugh) and, despite...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread
(sigh) My parents have two HDTVs now and keep giving us their old CRTs every time they upgrade. And their "old" TVs are fairly new and in great shape so we're using them and would feel guilty to...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread
