  1. Get it fast. I assume that Sharp has discontinued this TV as they have the LC37D90U (1080P).
  2. Sold out now. Here's the CNET.com review of the TV. Check out the user reviews though. This is one of the worst user rated products I've ever seen on CNET.com.
  3. I recommend avoiding Island of Dr. Moreau and SWAT. Two horrible movies.
  4. I started a thread on this last week, but it was apparently removed for some reason. I ordered two of them and they are worth about $7. They are a bit better than complete junk, but I wanted one for the garage. If you paid $50 for these you'd be extremely mad.
  5. I hate the wings there. The sauces are fine, but the wings are ripped off the back of tiny chicks (small). The new decor makes it feel like a NASCAR race inside, and the rest of the food is pretty bad quality as well. It's cheap, but it's reflected in food quality.
  6. It doesn't EQUATE reels to computers, but considering that both items are for sale AT THE SAME STORE (Wal-Mart), don't you think there may be a pattern in some of the products that Wal-Mart buys? As in, "Manufactured specifically for Wal-Mart" with cheaper parts. OK, assume they don't do it at all for electronics, they do it for fishing reels. Think they don't do it on any other products as well?
  7. Those aren't MY theories. Those are what people in the business have said. And I didn't say anywhere in that post that the computers were destined to fail, only that Wal-Mart often buys the electronics with the less than highest quality parts inside. Any I doubt all manufacturers by the sub-standard components anyway. Does that mean that your laptop with a processor that graded out in the 85% range is going to breakdown, no. And Wal-Mart apparently does this with other product lines as well. Another board I frequent had a post from a guy who purchased a fishing reel because it was much cheaper at Wal-Mart than other places. He buys it, opens up the box and out falls a piece of paper that reads, "Manufactured for Wal-Mart." He opens up the reel and it's got plastic gears instead of metal gears. This isn't some internet rumor, I've posted with the guy for over 5 years. If they do it with reels, what else do they skimp on? I'm not a Wal-Mart hater, I just went there today, but I am very leery about what I buy there considering what I've read. I'm glad your computers are perfect, they should be, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I don't care if you keep buying their electronics.
  8. So, it's been said many places that Wal-Mart buys the inferior lines from name brand electronics companies. For example, if Intel tests a batch of computer processors that grade out low on their scale, they'll still put them in computers, computers that they in turn sell for a cheaper price to Wal-Mart, while Best-Buy etc. get the computers with the best graded processors. Apparently chip manufacturers do the exact same thing with Wal-Mart, that's why many people won't touch electronics from Wal-Mart.
  9. Showtime MAY pick up Arrested Development when it gets axed by FOX.
  10. Great show, and this is an awesome deal as I have to buy seasons one and two as a gift for someone, thanks! And, unfortunately, this will be the last season of Arrested Development.
