kpkelley · 07-10-2008, 07:13 PM

TV.......few years later...PS3 + BD

allstar780 · 07-10-2008, 07:38 PM

PS3 and TV, about a week later some BDs... then just this month I got my 5.1

Beta Man · 07-10-2008, 07:42 PM

I had a Sharp Aquos for about 2 years before I got a Blu-Ray player, and I never ran an HD Antenna, or Cable/Sat. to it in those two years either...... it was a gift.... so I just watched my DVDs on it

I always had a 5.1 system, but then when I got one PS3, I decided I needed a whole new audio-system, then I got another PS3, and yet another Audio system....... and it all happened so fast...... 6 months, or so...... but my free T.V. is still running like a champ!

Edit.... Got 40 or so Blu Rays the first week I got my first player...... being a movie buff, I think my reluctance to go "Blu" in the first place was the fact that I knew I had no will-power !!!!!

TV, PS3, then speakers/receiver. I'm very glad I ended up getting the TV first.

richteer · 07-10-2008, 08:53 PM

TV first, followed a few months later by player and first movie(s) together.

I first got my 32" Bravia (December 2006), then I got my PS3 (October 2007). After getting my PS3 I got a couple of BDs. And then I May 2008 I got my new TV (see sig).

I have 13 blu-ray movies, and no hdtv or player. I am getting a tv very soon, and then hopefully a player sometime after that...
