That is priceless.. love the old school analog video effects.. and the fog. But best of all, the "digital clock." I guarantee it never flashes 12:00.

"The trinitron needs no introduction or explanation."

Yep, that's Sony marketing theory cut to the core.

I bought one in 1970 and thought it was the greatest thing since peanut butter!

Funny, I logged in just to quote that. I laughed my ass off when he said that. It was like an ad from 1984 (the novel), complete with an echoing voice. "The Trinitron needs neither introduction nor explanation. It stands alone. You will not dare to question the Trinitron. It is watching you."

For half price you could have got a C64!!!!

Are you keeping up with the Commador? For $1564 it`s a steal.

My mother still has a original trinitron in her house. The tv still has a decent picture considering it is about 30 years old.

My father did the same and swore by them for the better part of three decades but I was a bit surprised that tone of 'we're Sony, so sit there, suck it and like it', a la blu-ray is absolutely necessary for the PS3 and 'it's not over priced, you just need to take on a second job' had been around for so long.

That's nothing compared the the glory that is William Shatner and the VIC-20
