Sorry, I desperately feel the need to brag because I've been working so hard that I haven't been able to catch up with friends and won't be able to until NYE.
That, and I hate Facecrack.
Between huge discounts (partly staff-based, w00t!), lots of hours at work, and finding awesome bargains, I've managed to put together a really good HTPC+ system and I'm really enjoying the benefits.
Sony Bravia 46" and a 160GB PS3 (why buy a larger HDD when you can swap it out yourself?) a WDTV Live, and a Sony 5.1 surround sound system and 2TB of media storage makes up my little collection.
OMG! I love it. Bluray's are so cheap so I've already amounted a decent collection of Firefly, Serenity, Fearless, Blade Runner, Starship Troopers, Unforgiven, Army of Darkness and a bunch of others, plus Sony's equivalent to the iTunes Store for HD movies on demand, and the WDTV for... err... TV shows 'on demand' D), plus some great PS3 games like Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 3 & New Vegas, and more music storage than I could ever need (played through the surround sound system), I'm in utter entertainment HEAVEN.
All of this for just over $1k AUD (not including the BR's, games & cables... wth is with not including cables with all this stuff?)!
Ok, I got it out of my system. Now you can share your awesome media setups with the rest of us too!
