pimp my sister's house out with Blu-ray

[buckshot]

well, not exactly as pimped as with home makeover shows. but my family and i pimped out my sister and brother in law's apartment with blu ray. they were using a 15 year old 32" sony CRT tv in their ugly entertainment center. contained therein was a Laserdisc player that didn't work, a vcr with tracking problems, hand me down dvd player (compliments of me a few years ago), a REALLY old receiver, a ps2 with ethernet cable attached and a few controllers, an xbox with ethernet and a few controllers, and a 20 disc cd player that half the slots wouldn't load correctly. on top of the monstrocity was their internet phone, wireless router, cable modem, and cable box. needless to say, behind this thing was a viper's nest with miles of cables and wiring. it was insane. i won't go into to much detail about my sis and bro in law. but they are tech freaks who could afford a better set up, but they lack proper budgeting and self control. since i got into blu ray last christmas, and got my dad into it a few months ago, we figured we'd help them out. not wanting to spend a ton of money but get them a good set up we set off for frys. my bought a 42" samsung 1080i plasma and a 40gb ps3 for them. i bought all the cables, a cleaning kit, several blu rays (ice age from frys, then cars & ratatouille from amazon) as well as a nice bbuy gift card. i will probably order them a couple others soon too. they weren't here for xmas so my dad and i went up to their place to install it all. this is where my expertise comes in. we tore apart their old system, i got a flower pot dropped on my head because their theater unit only had 3 legs but we got it done. they are now hooked up with a 5.1 surround sound (sony HTIB) a 42" plasma, and a 40gb ps3. they don't know yet. when they come home next week they'll walk into their apartment and probably have a heart attack. i'll post pics when i get them from my mom. but their living room has now been pimped blu. i feel proud.

did we do well?

i'm going to order them the pixar shorts right now.
