Am I the last man on earth who refuses to buy an HDTV? I'm one of those people who know that they'll come down in price after a few years, and then I'll switch over. They're already incredibly less expensive today than they were three years ago. I just wonder why getting one is such a big deal.
Sure, they make the picture look more clear, but it's still two dimensional. It's not like you're standing in the middle of the action with three dimensions spinning all around you. Likewise, a lot of the channels aren't even available in HD yet. They look crappier on an HDTV than they do on my old piece of crap traditional set.
Even more nuttier is the fact that you have to pay more for HD programming in most cases. One of my friends has an HDTV and service through a satellite programmer. I have service through the same provider. We both bought a certain sports package, but he had to pay even more for the same games so they could be HD. This all sounds like a huge scam to me.
Let me get all of this straight. First, pay more for the TV. Then you can't get what you paid for, meaning high definition, with all the channels because it is not available on all channels. Finally, pay more for the same programming so some of the channels can live up to what the TV is supposed to do in the first place (show pictures in high definition). Great! It all makes sense now. I'll wait for HD.
