Hey thanks again for the posts earlier. I was thinking to post sooner cause I'll be spending all night with this new TV I got. After dealing with 20-32" SDTV, it's def a kick in the face when you upgrade to a 42" 1080i Plasma. This thing's great as well as the price. $890 at Best Buy.com. Ironically the only thing I can reference you to it is Circuit City's site:

And yes it works just as well as a normal plasma, it's not cheap or anything. So I played DOA4, Gears, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Samurai Warriors on this thing with the fresh HDMI cables for my PS3 and 360. Of course the Wii ain't hi Def, but the picture is so better with components. Play Zelda and see the reds and greens glow. My Wii is what getting hurt now cause there's no even level spot for the sensor bar anymore so I need to make a new stand for it. I have a makeshift, but it's too high. But I have no game I wany for Wii until Zack and Wiki, and awesome cel sheded point and click adventure designed by Capcom.
I want the new PSP now that I have the hookups for it. If you do not know, the new style PSP can do video output onto a TV. Bad news though, 1) does not take up full screen, only like a quarter. So people like me who are paranoid on leaving a ton of active black space on their displays, will have to deal with a ton of active black space on their TV. 2) only TV's with component hookups can do it, since PSP games are 480p and ONLY 480p, you need a TV that supports that. Ironically, the XMB(Cross Message Board aka, the PSP/PS3 dashboard aka main menu), as well as the UMD movies are 480i, so the regular AV cables will work for those. What's funny is that the XMB and UMD's take up the whole screen, games on the other hand don't. I'm pissed now cause I want games full screen, look at Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and see how much burn in you're gonna get if you're an active PSP user. This was handled on joystiq.com's great PSP-2000 coverage(2000 means the new model while 1000 are the older).
Wii Zapper-Nov.19th for $20 and bundled with Link's Crossbow Training, a Twilight Princess spinoff.
The box art for Smash Bros was released, and hey! Surprise surprise, no Nintendo Wi Fi Connection logo on the cover. Of course it ain't final until it's on shelves, but this strengthen the prediction I had about Brawl having no online. This image is small, but its all we have from IGN.
It's been a good weekend, been with my friends all weekend and went to the Rainforest Cafe upstate, near where Sam (ShadowFan24) lives. As well as just hanging out doing allnighters with the house to myself all that weekend and it continues this week. It's fun having 2 TV's hooked up playing random games. WarioWare on the Wii on this TV, while DOA4 is playing on the other. Today was the most ordinary for myself personally. Ironically, the actual b-day was the most generic, well I have the house to myself now so I'm gonna use it!
Oh damn.... this TV makes waiting for Halo 3 that much more painful. 2 weeks.... At least next week, Eternal Sonata will ease me for a week until Halo.
I said Ironically alot today.
