After three months of saving and scraping I was finally able to get the HD TV for playing video games in my upstairs office/playroom. I'm not a graphics snob, but many games for the Xbox 360 are formatted for widescreen hi-def TV, and if you don't have one I discovered it can be REALLY hard to read in-game text. As an RPG gamer, reading text is vital, and "Dragon Age Origins" will hit shelves next month! (Along with a few other RPGs in the near future.) So getting a hi-def TV has been a goal of mine for awhile now.
I skipped buying a fair chunk of comics and DVDs this summer, along with a number of other money saving strategies. In the end, I saved close to $100. (That's ALOT for me, folks!) Add to that some leftover "fan" and "furniture" money in our budget and a big sale on a display model TV at Best Buy at their Labor Day sale, and I finally hit my goal!
Woohoo! Now back to my regularly scheduled spending...
