^^I couldn't trust someone to ship my HDTV...lol...

Do you got Video Only in Cali? Up here that's a good spot for deals on TV related items. My boy got his 73" there, and his other 50" or 40-somethin whatever it was.

My other friend just paid like $1600 for his 50" LG.
I got both my LCD HDTV's from a website and they work perfectly. Had i bought them in the store, they would have been $100-300 more...and thats WITH the $99 to-the-door delivery.

You get a gold star for the day :)

I just don't like the idea of some fuck from UPS handling my shit cause I deal with them daily where I work. They toss shit all over. One time they actually had an HDTV too, after seeing how they handle it and how it's just place in the middle of the truck (so it could fall over) I couldn't do that shit. I'd rather pay the extra couple hundred bucks to know it's not going to come to my door all fucked up. Cause trying to return shit cause of shipping damage is usually a bitch and a half.

His LG looks nice. There's not a lot of glare (it's a plasma) and the video games look really good on it. Didn't watch TV or anything when I was there. I think he honestly paid more than he should have...all he did was hit up Best Buy and bought the shit. He didn't research or even hit up more than ONE store. Fuck all that. That's why I'm hittin up the Sony outlet store!

I went to best buy to get my ps3....the guy there kept telling me to wait and get the 80gb with mgs4....i told him i didn't give a shit about that game or the memory..he then kept telling me it'd be backwards compatable...so i said, "i got the slim ps2 and it'll fit next to the ps3. i'm not worried." i hate people that keep trying to sell you shit or change your mind after you've already made it up. i wanted to tell him to just fucking leave me alone but he got the drift after i started looking at games and gave him 1 word answers. fuck man, lemme buy the shti that i want!

so i won't go to best buy for my tv....they are fuckin odd balls there. they got the geeky 17 year old with acne that has to sell you the ps3 80gb rather than the 40gb...even tho they don't have the 80 for another month....some of them would just walk with me around the place looking for shit...i was abotu to say, "i don't need your help looking for shit, i'm not a retard." but then i felt like they were doin their jobs...lol....so fuck it, that's why i'm not goin back....

Well I hope the store manufactures the TVs there because if they don't, they have to get there some way or another...

i was waiting for someone to say that, lol....you know, maybe there's no difference in how they ship it from the manufacturer to the store versus the manu to the residence...i do'nt know...but i saw how they handled that tv and if it wasn't fucked up i'd be surprised.

sometimes though, they are put in trailers (freight) rather than fex ex or ups ground....then it's shipped differently and packaged differently.

I have seen some pretty fucked up TV packages in the storage room while I worked at Sears. I also ordered an LCD from online (Amazon) and they use special logistics companies to ship their TVs.

^^ thats LCD that you gotta view straight on.. but most good tv's you can hardly notice the difference at an Angle.. plus who really watches tv at an angle? i understand if your furniture is setup on the sides but you wanna sit face to face with that beast.

buy squaretrade warranties too.. theyre cheaper and more convenient.. they come to your house to fix the tv instead of hauling that shit to circuit city or wherever you bought it even shipping it back to the place you bought it.

best buy wanted $164.00 for 3 years i paid $108 3 years for my squaretrade warranty. Plus the company is in Frisco so its all good
