My first XGA projector, Infocus LP350 cost me more than $5,000 Canadian. You can look up the specs

My last purchase, a 1080p Optoma HD80 cost me about $2,300 Canadian. And the PS3 is a fraction of the price of my first DVD player. And this is being an "Early Adopter" today? GOD I LOVE IT!

It's cumulitive. My first DVD player, a Toshiba, cost me $1000.00 from Majestic Electronics, in Toronto. It had no DTS or progressive scan. My first HDTV was a 34" Toshiba CRT, $3,800.00, at Leon's, after a negotiation session. I also had a grey market DTV Hughes E86, using my U.S. P.O. Box, with two great channels, ESPN and HBO. It was glorious! That cost me over $600.00US, when it was one U.S. Dollar costing 1.56 Canadian dollars. Wow, have times changed! It just costs more to upgrade now, since technology is changing at an ever increasing rate. It's almost time for a new Blu Ray player, once profile 2.0 arrives!
