Default Anyone else feel Blu for spending money on Hi-Def ?

Well around a 2 months ago I decided to upgrade my system a little. I had an Akai 46'' DLP ( 4 years old and not the best picture.) So I first got my BD Player a Sony BDP-S300 ( exchanged for a Panny BD30) $499. I then sold my Akai TV for $700 and purchased a 50" Samsung Plasma $1900. I then wanted Lossles audio so I sold my old Yamaha Receiver for $150 and purchased the Yamaha RX-V663BL $499 and a new Infinity Sw-12 subwoofer $399. So I roughly spent $2,500 before taxes and with the money I got from selling the TV and receiver. Luckily I had good speakers but along with my Blu-Ray addiction why do I feel blue not Blu Man is that what a drug addict feels like .....Seriously I'm addicted to Hi-Def anyone else

Yes, I'm an addict too. Is there blu-ray anonymous? I don't even add up what I spend on blu rays anymore. I don't want to know. how much. Dang Amazon; they keep lowering the prices and having sales.

I actually avoided Amazon this weekend. An email popped up on my Blackberry from Amazon " 50% off of selected Blu-Rays." I ran home and got on my computer as I wanted Hellboy and Kingdom of Heaven. I immediately clicked them to purchase and then pulled back.... I just started paying my school loans back and I luckily have a good job but when is enough ? Seriously ! I was telling myself today " Its not too late to return the receiver and Subwoofer Aren't we suppose to be happy ? I am one that always tell people " You only live once just buy it ! " now I'm feeling guilty as hell....Maybe thats a good thing but I need a Blu-Ray fix really bad since I haven't bought a movie in like two weeks.....I'm scratchy and my stomach is churning...wait a minute is that an elephant I see in my Den I just need to hear from others that I'm not the only one who feel this way ! I'm glad I found this site ! Hey thunda lets start the "Blu Ray Annonymous ! "

189 BD ? I just started so I'm at 40 so thats close to 2 a day for me. I do have over 5,000 CD's and over 500 DVD's ! Just sold my Xbox 360 and 30 games and got a Wii and I have 5 games ( its only been a week ) I have around 35 HD-Movies but now they are cleareancing them ! I saw them at Hastings this weekend for $7.99, I had to run away I saw like 10 titles I could have gobbled up but I kept saying " your a Blu-Ray man now remember ? " Then came the email on my phone from Amazon " 50 % off on selected Blu-Ray titles, " I ran home ! I resisted but I'm still going back to Amazon just for a small taste but have not pulled the plug. And whatever you do stay away from Columbia House and their "Buy on get one Free " deals because they have them weekly Man between Amazon, Ebay, CH, BB, CC, Walmart Ughhhhhhhhhh !! I need help ! It doesn't help to have credit cards either
