What replaced it? Well, it is a new Samsung LA40N81BX...
3 year warranty. Full HiDefinition LCD TV. Cost me $1699 *sweat*. Now I'm officially broke. But it was worth every penny...err...cent I mean.
There's a HUGE difference between HD Ready and Full HD, especially on a 40". I was considering a similar sized Samsung 40" but HD Ready and I couldn't even make out the letters and words on the news ticker on ChannelnewsAsia. But with Full HD, it was really clear and pretty sharp. Worth the $500+ extra, IMO.
What else to accompany the new TV with hooking up the Nintendo Wii! That's right! After months of being in the storage box, the set was finally hooked up and running! Chloe and I were excited to play with it. We gave Wii Tennis a few minutes, before moving off to....the Wii Fit!
The latest Wii sensation worldwide! Chloe and I spent about 1+ hours on it. She loved jogging and while I jogged with her, I could feel...erm...certain sections of my body jiggling as well (read: fats). I Fit-ted around with Hula Hoop, Step Aerobics, a push-up activity, soccer heading, and some other activities. My BMI measured 25+ and it was considered Normal. I set a target to reduce my BMI to 22 and gave myself 2 months to achieve that target. We will (sounds like Wii huh?) see if I can achieve it...BTW, Wii Fit measured my Wii fitness to be of the age 33 years. My body is still in good condition I guess!
Haven't tried my old Gamecube games, the controllers and the Memory Card. After 2+ hours of frustration, I managed to configure the wireless access of the Wii. Now I can really couch potato using the Wii and surf the world and Wii Channels. Seriously, I can see the Wii changing our lifestyle at home. Let's see how many Wii Points I'm gonna get as time passes.
Next game to try out would be Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. BTW, how do I find my own personal Wii Friend Code?
