I need to be reading stuff like this about the same as needing another hole in my head. It sounds like too much fun. I'm past the point of making up my mind, it's gonna happen, just spending some time coming to grips with the pain that will follow. Now I just sit around rationalizing the necessity of this purchase. For example, we Americans spend up to five or ten times as much on our cars, which we spend less time in and certainly do not enjoy as much as we do watching TV, so the TV is actually a better purchase than the average car. From this it necessarily follows that It's the rest of the world buying those expensive cars that doesn't make any sense, and my purchase of this TV makes perfect sense.
