I tried to spin the Blu-Ray angle, but she really doesn't care about that stuff. She still watches VCR tapes on a small TV in our bedroom when she is lying in bed some time. Oh well. It's out of the way now. It won't be a surprise. Really, she didn't give me too much grief. I was glad I didn't have to start bringing up $100 pairs of shoes that only get worn once or twice a year, of which there are at least $400 worth of in the closet.

Now this is a great thread!!!

Congrats buddy! Fortunately my brothers took care of me for x-mas and bought me a PS3. I have been dealing with my wife about the same thing for the past year and a half!! Now you just have to find time to play the thing! That is pulling more teeth than actually trying to get one!
