So, here it is. I’m not quite used to its…presence. It’s not a 20’ plasma or anything, sure, but I’m so used to glancing left and seeing a curved black lump stare back at me. Now I look over, stare for a second, and say, “When did you get here?” It’s more imposing, more in-your-face. It also makes the cabinet sink visibly deeper into the carpet, and I worry if those marks will ever go away. Oh well.
It’s got component inputs, but that’s where the cool features end. Yeah, that’s right, no HD. You’re all screaming out in terror, I can feel it in the Force. Understand, though, this isn’t about the cutting edge, it’s about getting out of the God damn Dark Ages. It’s also about my living wage and phobia of credit debt. Sexy visuals are nice, but I’m not prepared to go into debt over a fancy glass tube, the majority of which is lead.
In other news, there’s a little something of a Gran Turismo 5 trailer out at the moment. I’m not impressed. And why are we talking about collisions? Quit dicking around and give me what I was supposed to get with GT4: Online. The Gran Turismo series is great and all, but the standard model is showing age wrinkles. Polyphony is going to have to crank the volume past 11 if they’re going to wow me this time around.
