I've got Fios. Rented several HD movies. Takes less than a minute before it's ready to go - pretty much works flawlessly. I don't think the picture is as good as a movie on HBO high def (again, on Fios). But a little better than a...

Question - can you buy Wii Points directly from the shopping channel, or do you need to buy one of those cards from a store?

Or the extra $400 I save today will prevent me from feeling the need to buy all that other stuff tomorrow! I understand what you're saying - trust me, I'm certainly factoring in the "Home Theater Bug" hitting me eventually. To tell...
