You are clueless. NTSC is boring, HDTV is not and you dont have to watch "TV SHOWS", there are HD movie channels and sports, etc. I guess I value movies much more than you do, and part of it is propably the fact that I can actually see the beauty of what they really look like and you still cant. jco

I watch maybe 1-2 hours a week (mostly Anime Fansubs of stuff currently airing in Japan) and play 1-2 hours a week on the Xbox. I don't have cable as the only show on there I'd watch (Top Gear) isn't worth the cost of a full subscription. Why the hell would I pay several grand for a TV I'm never going to use? TV is boring. Go out and shoot. -Adam J. C. O'Connell wrote: > Isnt owning a world class HD home theater worth way more than owning a > K10D?
