you should definitely try and see if you can. If not just return the TV if you can ;), then re-purchase it. [ + quote]

Darn, I was wondering the same thing. I got the 52 inch Aquos from HSN about 3 weeks ago. Guess I bought it too early. I love it though. PS3 and 360 games look awesome. I actually havent even watched a blu-ray movie yet on it. [ + quote]

that ought to teach you to ask a little more closely about just how much of a bargain a bargain really is, wouldn't you say? Just think, with that attitude (i have it too), if we were cloned and worked for a company we would quite likely be a corporation - you know those big nasty things. Funny how they as an entity behave like we can do as individuals. [ + quote]
