Havoc Stryphe Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 I have finally won the battle with my wife: This Wednesday, I will be ordering my 1. New 42" Widescreen High Definition LCD Screen Television 2. New Progressive Scan DVD player 3. New Sony Dolby Digital 650w 6 speaker (powered Subwoofer)Home Theatre System And Tonight I get the Episode 2 Widescreen DVD to be the frist movie to grace my new Home theatre system. Oh, did I mention it's Widescreen! Man, it's great to be the king! Now I can raise my boy right, with a good home theatre!
Young David Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 You won, huh ... Now little Xavier can watch X-men widescreen ... then your wife comes in. "Hey, there's a Xavier in that movie ... and a Logan ..." a: "What a coincidense" b: "DWAINNNNN!!!!!"
Surfnshannon Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 its not fair I tell you - our boy will have to settle for my 27" but by god he will have star wars episode 2!!!!
Darth Homer Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 I will have my copy....uh....later today....stupid school.....BUT I've got my Widescreen copy reserved (had it 2 days after they started reserving them) and paid off at Suncoast...all I gotta do is go get it p.s. Thanks for the funny little smilie, STTCT

Yes, my boy will learn that if you are going to watch movies at home, then you'd better do it right! And you're never too old for some toys!
Darth Homer Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 oh yeah, also I only got a 27" tv hooked up to my Xbox dvd player, but as long as I can get EpII goodness, I'll be happy
Surfnshannon Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 ya! its not the size that matters........
Havoc Stryphe Posted November 12, 2002 Author Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by STTCT ya! its not the size that matters........ You're right, but it sure is fun! I too have a 27" television currently, with a 1st generation DVD player without progressive scan or RGB outputs, and a 600w 6 speaker Theatre system taht's only Dolby Pro Logic not Dolby Digital. I was in dire need of an upgrade. And I have been desperately trying to make my wife see the light. After 3 years, it has finally paid off!
Young David Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by STTCT Smilies travel far I see. That smilie (and a whole lot of others) originate from 2 dutch forums, Tweakers.net and Fok.nl. I have an account at the first, and frequently post at the later. Funny to see those kick-ass smillies elsewhere ...
Rogue15 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 please, for the love of god, keep xwa references out of here....
Eets Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 W00t! Congratulations Havoc, you lucky bastard.. The boys and I were wondering where you've been!
Havoc Stryphe Posted November 12, 2002 Author Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by Eets The boys and I were wondering where you've been! Just on a small vacation at home, Dodging tornadoes, you know... the usual

Have i been away that long??????? 1. No not the first battle, but probably the most impressive win! And YES I will be posting a picture of my new Home theatre when it gets here and is fully assembled! 2. I have to buy her some really nice jewelry. It's a fair trade! 3. Not yet, My wife is almost 5 months pregnant with our baby boy!
Eets Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 I came up with a plan to get a nice entertainment system in my home, and I presented it to my dad. At first, I was thinking just a 30" flat screen TV, but after I gave my plan, he said we should get a big screen! I may get a kickazz system like yours someday, Havoc!
Wraith 5 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by Havoc Stryphe 3. Not yet, My wife is almost 5 months pregnant with our baby boy! Congrates man!!!!!! I knew good things happened to good people!!!!
Havoc Stryphe Posted November 12, 2002 Author Posted November 12, 2002 I wish you great success in your Home Entertainment center endeavor, Eets. It is truly an awesome sight to behold within one's own home. If proper care is given to the selection, placement, and location of one's Home Theatre, than it will serve you well as you're refuge and assylum from your woman and children! EDIT: Originally posted by Wraith 5 Congrates man!!!!!! I knew good things happened to good people!!!! Thank you Wraith, it's been a real wonderful experience, and the past only serves to make our will and our passion that much stronger this time around!
Tie Guy Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Wow, congrats! I'm still in a fateful struggle with my dad over a new computer.... Anyways, hope you enjoy! (as if you wouldn't )
Zygomaticus Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 good for you, Havoc and your son but i personally find it no different watching in a 50" or a 30" It's all the same as long as i can hear what's going on, see what's going on and feel what's going on
Admiral Odin Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Your wife probably sees it along like this. You may have won the battle but not the war. Otherwise congrats on the win.
Surfnshannon Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 hee hee if your wife is as tired as I am .... I think you won the war by default. My boyfriend could probably ask for anything right now and I'd say "yaya sure..."
