But then I have a nice home theater so it makes sense.

However, when I was making good money and a new piece of electronic gear would come out, I would have to have it. I would run to the store and buy it right away. When the first high definition player came out, I had to get it! I paid over $800 for it a few years back and could now pick up a similar machine for about $150.

It pays to wait if you can stand it…

Our home system works just fine for even the most “visually stunning” movies.

When Starcraft II came out, my BIL called DH to see what he thought. DH explained that he was waiting to buy it. BIL called the next day to see if he had it yet! That was his idea of waiting! The price didn’t drop and our friends have already moved onto another game. DH decided he just won’t buy Starcraft.
