Home Cinema 9.2 (pics at Reply #3)

Greetings to all PinoyDVD members!  :D                                               

Similar to many of you, most weekends I'd rather spend time with my wife & kids inside our own master bedroom (HT) & catch up with some DVD, HD DVD & Blu-ray movies watching at our own sweet time. To enhance our watching experience, it wouldn't be completed without some nice snacks & drinks besides us.  :-* Usually, that's how we'd spend our quality & quiet time together over my rest-day. Due to my busy & hectic working schedule, there are still lots of unwatched/sealed DVD/BD/HD DVD.  ;D

I would like to take this opportunity to share some recent (and old ones too) photos taken on my HT setup which is configured inside my master bedroom. No fancy setup, no THX ultra expensive audio equipment, no movie poster yet, etc... Simple lang ha. :)

Hope you will enjoy these few photos & pls do let me know if you have any question or require clarification. Thank you for taking the time to browse my little comfort zone. Have a nice day & cheers!  8)

Regards,
Paul :)

Thanks guys for all the kind words... :) Now it looks like my cute calendar girl is generating more curiosity & interest than my overall HT setup...guess I'll have to remove it to prevent further confusion & distraction noh... :(

Joke lang! haha  ;D Ricky/jerix , I'm not sure what are you implying.... :P

slowhand/Munskie, PS3 player will be coming soon...next year pa. i.e. untill I save enough.  :-[

ronjet, yep...some customized cabinets will be completed..hopefully by end of this month so I can store some of my DVDs...my storage space is almost out na.  :P

My wife makes lots of noise na regarding the sexy calendar...I just explained..it's just a photo lang, nothing more  :-*

ronjet, maybe u can try put some nice FHM posters in your bed room too & see how's your wifey reaction LOL ;D When I was single I used to collect lots of FHM magazines. As they said...the Philippine's edition is the boldest!  :P 

Tnx baby, that's not a bad idea...will keep all options open LOL :D I'm doing minor arrangement in my room & a few additional DVD cabinets...  :-* Hopefully I shall be able to complete it by this weekend.

Yes, I agree...after staring at my room, kind of plain noh...so perhaps with a few more FHM posters would help?  ::)

I find Maui Taylor and Diana Zubiri are good too except my wife complains Maui is too short. I told her no one cares of her height esp when she has other assets to overcome her own weaknesses  :P  ;D

Tnx erwin & Dracula (whoa such a scary name!)  ;D

aldrinpsx, in that case you'll have to time your HD DVD purchase so that by the time BD player is released in May 23, your 30-day period is still valid. That means the earliest you could buy the HD DVD is on April 23? That's assuming there's no more delay in the BD launching.  :D
