one other comment I would make is that as you know LCD and plasma tv’s really break easily. They arent like the old picture tubes where you could basically throw a brick at them. Even a light hit by a toy will crack the screens making them worthless. My suggestion is to pick up a screen protector for the tv before an “Accident” happens. I bought one a few weeks ago from a place called tv armor.

So far so good.. Hopefully the kids wont take it as a challenge:)

This happened to me on Sunday night: Went to a friend’s house to play Wii Bowling and ended up releasing the controller directly into the front pin displayed on his Sony LCD HDTV, cracking it and rendering it useless. Any ideas on whether this is repairable? I’m planning to cough up the 1800 bucks to buy him a new one tonight.

Too bad… I dug up an old 32″ tube TV for me 6, 4, and 2 year old to get their Wii on.

Now if I can only get them to stop hitting each other….

I’m currently deciding which console to go for, Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360… ps3 is out of the question for me in terms of price.

Just bought an LG scarlet (url in my name) and am looking to test out its capabilities with a new console

any suggestions?S

Holy crap. I think I’m going to duct tape the controller to my daughter’s arm from now on. And you just bought that Wii like two days ago.

Although, if you were really looking to upgrade the HDTV then I commend your ingenuity. Bravo sir.

We ended up going with the wii over xbox 360, and lastly Playstation 3. We already have an xbox with at least 30 games that my 5 year plays with a passion.
