Aching for a plasma TV?

She died. Just last month…

Our trusted 15-year old Samsung television, who wept with the whole family as we watched Schindler’s List, gasped with the children when they thought Experiment 626 aka Stitch will die in the second movie, cheered for R2D2 in all six movies of the Star Wars saga, finally couldn’t be resuscitated.

For two weeks, we had been prowling across Abenson, SM Appliance and other stores to look for a replacement. The Duplitos had been resistant to temptation so far. The object we are trying to resist – a P199,900 Samsung plasma television set with Ultra FilterBright, deeper black and dark images and clearer vision 18 bit color processing.

Charged to my credit card, that’s only P11,000 something a month at “0%” interest (yeah, yeah) and P370 per day (blech!).

See how happy they are? More space means more harmony in the family… (am I really this gullible?)

Must resist…must resist…

What do you think guys? Are the marketing guys going to bag another victim? Help!

    Salve, bili ka nalang ng HDTV sa Pier. My aunt got to buy one “buy accident”. She didn’t know it was an HDTV. She got a 32″ (i think) HDTV for less than 20K.
