My guess... $699 MSRP

If every household went out and bought a book of stamps, it would give the USPS a quick $800 million or so, at a cost of only $8.40 each. Amazing how quickly it adds up when there are 100 million people doing something.

Uh, Peter GRIFFIN??

Don't make ridiculous requests when there are signs all over the place that clearly say ALL SALES FINAL! The liquidators have no obligation to return anything, because they have no way to return anything to the manufacturers. Circuit City did, but as a company we ceased to exist on January 16th. And don't forget the fact that you paid $50 less for that Wii than anywhere else! Nintendo will replace it for you. If we were still Circuit City (and actually had any Wiis left) we would gladly replace it for you, but the liquidators own the things we are selling now, and we all have to follow their rules.

Oh, and to "Don Reisinger of CNet's Crave blog" who got Best Buy to match Amazon, that's why they will soon be joining Circuit City on the trash heap of American retailers. You want their price, then order it from them. Don't go to a retail establishment and expect them to be able to match an online wholesaler whose only costs are for a webpage, warehouse space, and a person to wheel your TV to their door. You're doing all of us a great disservice because soon, Amazon will be our only option, and I don't think there will be an "Amazon Store" as close as the local Best Buy USED to be. I hope it was worth saving $200 on that TV, and you'd better hope it works when you get it, or you're opening a whole other can of worms to get a replacement.

My favorite example of aspect ratio affecting a movie is "The Hunt for Red October." In the original 4:3 VHS, at the end of the movie all you see is one guy holding up a wire. It's not until you watch the 16:9 DVD that you see he's about to cross it with another wire, presumably to detonate one of the nuclear warheads on board.

Sorry if I spoiled the ending for anyone, but if I did... it's been 19 years, what the hell were you waiting for??

The first time I saw that on DVD, I was like, "Wow. How can they justify leaving that out just to make it better fit the screen?" and then I thought, "What else have I missed?"

Now I understand people complaining about letterboxing on a 27" TV, it essentially makes it like a 19". But if you have a 42", 50", 60" TV... isn't it big enough? My only complaint is that for a while after watching letterboxed TV shows and movies, there are visible lines on my TV. LCDs don't suffer image retention, my a$$.

How did Barack come up with 59 states? He's probably including territories and commonwealths, so let's take a look at the count:
50 states, that's pretty obvious...
Nations under Compacts of Free Association: Marshall Islands (51), Federated States of Micronesia (52), Palau (53).
Unincorporated, organized territories: Guam (54), United States Virgin Islands (55).
Commonwealths, another form of unincorporated and organized territory: Northern Mariana Islands (56), Puerto Rico (57)
American Samoa (58) is unorganized, but has a constitution and self-government, making it functionally very similar to an organized territory.

Ok, 58.. hmm, what are we forgetting...
Oh yeah, Washington D.C. (59)
So, 59 is the total!

You are using the new logo, you just need to scratch out the "Channel" from History Channel. It's just "History" now, or in this case "History HD".

"If for instance, the store uses those familiar coaxial cables, you're not seeing the best pictures."

Yeah, in my store we have our HD feed modulated to run on 39-1, so some of our TVs have just those familiar coaxial cables, and we have an antenna we can hook up if we want! How do we get HD out of that familiar cable??

You're writing for Forbes, get your facts straight...

Um, I hope you're using the pic of the microfiber ball in irony, seeing as how it's not being used anymore...
