View Full Version : Am I crazy to still be price shopping?

A local Circuit City has one remaining "in the box" 34xs955 for a clearance price of $1299.00 I'm looking for a tv for the bedroom. I figure this will be the last CRT I will ever buy. Am I going to be kicking myself if I go back in a few days and this TV is gone? I'm still conflicted as to whether I need an HDTV in the bedroom or should just settle on a 32" SDTV. Is this TV worth the extra money?

Yes. You should get this ASAP.
Of course it depends what you will be watching?
Just go get it. Don't ask any more questions, just do it.
You'll forever regret missing this opportunity if you let this pass by.
(Be sure it's "NEW in the box")

[QUOTE=cireaasirefan]Really, so Evrglades should not get the Sony KD-34XS955 from Circuit City for only $1,299.99. Many people will disagree with you. What TV do you recommend for him?
(This post is not deceptive, a lie, misprint, or false statement. It is 100% genuine and accurate.)[/QUOTE]
How about an Orioshiba HDTV manufactured in "Wally Walter World" Where lies and deception run amuck!!!
It comes with a full limited lifetime warranty of lies and deception, and opps you got to buy that 3 year extended warranty incase the tv explodes in your face due to all the "Spindoctors" mumbo jumbo schemes in practice :cool:

I cannot find any reason for all of this attention placed on one individual. No criminal act has been commited as far as I know and its best to ignore this Walter Chan. Lets get back to the reason we all frequent this forum is the love of electronics. Lets not take this too seriously. Compared to the important things in life this forum is a sidenote.

I agree with theroys. I don't know exactly what is the deal with waltchan and why you guys hate him so much, but no matter the reason, what you people are doing is simply disruptive to this forum and interfering with other users who are asking honest questions and attempting to learn things (such as myself).
I think any impartial observer, such as a lurker to this forum, will think that all you guys are the crazy ones and not waltchan. That's what it looks like from an outsider's point of view, whether you guys like it or not.
Do you guys think that Evrglades appreciates his thread being hijacked? The ones doing the hijacking is not waltchan, who doesn't even seem to have posted in this thread, but instead all you crazy people who seem to be criticizing him when he is not even here.

BACK ON TOPIC!!
As for $1,299 for the set. It is a very reasonable price, and it's a great set that is QUICKLY disappearing. I know for a fact you are not going to get better picture quality at that price. If it's in your range, buy it. In 3 months, the money won't matter... but in 5 years, you'll still have a nice set.

Because he's a constant source of FUD, misinformation, and spin and never backs up anything he says and yet tries to pass those things off as facts. The constant lying, numerous alt. handles, and the rest of the BS circus act melodrama just makes it that much more irritating, especially when you try to avoid it and simply can't.
I don't want to see people that come here looking for HONEST information be misled.
[quote=cireaasirefan]
Definitely agree. It is nearly impossible for me to post here and restore my credibility here when the same four people (Q of BanditZ, squonk, kny3twalker, and SurfingMatt27) have falsely accused me that I am writing your posts. This is absolutely disgraceful, pathetic, unmoral, unjust, childish, and immature, and I will not tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone else.
I ended up having to delete all of my posts because I was angry by them. [/quote]
No. You got caught red handed for the millionth time and took the coward's way out: You have something to hide and you tried to cover your tracks.
The four people I mentioned the names lately are the worst people I've ever met in my whole 21 years in life since I was born. Meeting a gangster is much better than these four. None of these four people will get any VIP concert passes from me in the future.
I'll try not to lose any sleep.
Oh, where are the moderators whenever we need them.
This is such pathetic spin that it's beyond even being laughable.
Answer: Doing their jobs. Case in point:

Why do you think there are more ID's being created? We've banned dozens of names and blocked several IP's.
I can't drive to his house and take away his PC. As you find more of them, just let me know without replying to him.
You need go no further than kny3walker's sig to see plenty of proof of the obvious: You did it ALL to yourself and continue to do so to this very day. If roy or some of the others have any doubts left, and they really shouldn't, that should clear it all up for them in a matter of seconds.
And we all know Porcupine2 is yet another one of your alts. Give it up.
And to Evrglades again: If it's NEW in box, you'd be crazy not to snatch up this 34xs955 at this price ASAP.
What else can even be said? That's pretty much it for this thread unless he comes back and tells us something else.

if you forgot Randy was also sick of your crap, Artwood makes fun of you every chance he has, and justsc has also tried giving you advice
the reason thread turn out like this is cause of you provoking it
you insult then ask to be friends, you blame others for your problems, you deny what you know is the truth, you state opinions or personal feeling about products as facts
you just never go bother the highdefforum, apparently they did not mind your crap

Q of Bandit, you are a complete moron. It's pointless for me to talk to you at all. You only look like an idiot to any impartial observer who lurks on this forum. I think a lot of other people on this forum have already realized I'm not waltchan. We may share some similar qualities, but we are different in some ways as well. If you had any powers of observation whatsoever you would probably see that there are linguistic differences in the way we speak and post, at the very least.
It's utterly ridiculous that you people are allowed to flood this forum with your garbage. If anything you are the one who should be moderated, not waltchan.

If you are not Waltchan, I apologize in advance.

It's pretty hard to make excuses for it after a point, isn't it? I think his response, such as it is, pretty much gives it all away.

I'm hoping that you having not returned to this thread means you took advantage of this fantastic offer and are in sheer bliss right now.
If not...we're all going to have to come and hurt you. ;)
for the record, I never accused waltchan of posting as porcupine2.

I think you should get the set as well. Doesn't seem to be any downside at all. I've been looking for that set or the 960(N) locally at exactly that price point, sadly it looks like inventory is mostly depleted in the Detroit metro area. (Unless anyone has information to the contrary!)
I also agree that it will be nice for this to change from the "hey let's bash walt chan" forum back to the Direct View TV forum! It's really obvious when you're catching up on a few days of posts and see the same thing brought up over and over, thread after thread.

I'll just move on with this and put it aside,i'm through arguing with a phony like this. Alan i understand and will move on but to me, Walter Chan will never gain his credibibity back IMO.
I'm willing to move on, it seems though that mr Walter chan brainwashed you though Alan i mean if you were in this thread yesterday you would have seen all his previous threads but he deletes his evidence and plays mind games with fellow members.
Now with that said i'll follow your rules and move on.

Crutchfield has the 34xs955 back in stock at a pretty good price too $1550. no tax, no shipping. not a bad deal at all. :)
kny3twalker
02-15-06, 12:44 AM
only about a hundred more, then the CC deal that this thread was started about
when everything is added up
considering 1299X 1.0(sales tax) + ~50 delivery is about 1450
vs 1550 flat rate at Crutchfield
~100 difference
also try searching the web I know there are Crutchfield coupons out there that can get the price even lower

AhGGH! I can't believe it! I just got back from cc and someone bought the last one before I got there. Its all my wife's fault. Valentines day took my attentions yesterday so I didn't get back to this board until this morning. The sales guy looked around and there are no 34xs955s in stock anywhere in South Florida.
On the flip side they just marked down the 34xbr960 from 1899 to 1599. I don't need any of the additional features of the 960 so I doubt I will go for it at that price. They also marked down a 4:3 36xs955 to 1299. But that TV is huge and I know I'm going to want the widescreen format. I'm bummed. :(

Don't be.
If you bought the 36xs955, you would be giving up maybe one inch on your 16X9 material and you'd have this mammoth 4:3 picture. If letterbox bars don't bother you, it's a hell of an amazing TV.
Otherwise...I'd really nudge you towards that XBR960. It's the best of its kind. :)
If you look in a few other current threads, you'll see some people posting about some sales at various electronics stores, including Best Buy. All may not be lost yet here for you.
Make some phone calls or maybe a take a drive!

You may not need the added features of the 960, but at that price I strongly urge you to consider buying it. If I were in your shoes I'd snap that up in an instant.
