I purchased a 2007 40” Sony Bravia. I had it mailed to me In Ketchikan, Alaska. When I told the local cable company that I had a nice flat screen he asked if I could test the cable company’s channel clarity. When the brand new ATT fiber optic company came in they asked me to do the same. I received both services at a very reduced cost. That was a cool experience.👍

I have a very similar story with my bravia tv back in 2009. I had just bought a brand new one from best buy (they talked me into buying insurance that supposedly covered "anything") I get home and set it up and a buddy and I started playing rock band. He was on the drums and I was on guitar. we were going along and he gets mad at me for whatever reason and ends up throwing a drum stick at me completely missing and hitting my $2000+ tv.... of course, insurance didnt cover rock band incidents

Lol my favorite story is from back in like 2003 2004 when I was at best buy. Pioneer had just released the first flat screen plasma tv. We weren't even allowed to sell them without an install because it was a 13 grand tv. Guy swears up and down he can install it himself. So we get the manager and he approves the sale. 3 days later he brings the tv back saying it was broken out of the box. after slot of back and forth he finally admits that he broke it when his wall collapsed because of the weight.

Love hearing stories like this. Never had to replace a tv due to a lightsaber, ceiling light and a new iphone were destroyed from my sons lightsaber play though. Have had to replace four tv's over the years though, the first was an unfortunate incident involving a very hot bowl of ramen noodles and the second Indy's whip. The other two tv's screens were destroyed by playstation controllers one by my son the other by one of his friends. I actually replaced the tv damaged by the ramen noodles with a Sony Bravia, while not the primary tv anymore, still works great to this day. I purchased mine in '08/'09 and the price had come down to two grand.

Wait... you have twin sons you call "Thing 1 and Thing 2, who have oft-ill-advised lightsabre duels? Wait, are you me? Tangent story: My boys and I used to have frequent duels, with the regular store-bought toy sabres, and I'd generally win, because they were old enough that they actually wanted a challenge, rather than me just letting them win. One day, Liam shyly asked me "Dad? Can I try my Jedi moves?" I said "Sure!" figurungbhe'd probably try ill-timed spins and dramatic flourishes, and I'd have to hold back a bit, to let him try his moves out. We squared off, andvinitiated the battle by touching blade tips together. Remember the scene in Ep 3, when Yoda fights Palpatine, and Yoda is fighting like a psycho hummingbird, just completely striking at Palpatine from every direction? Well, imagine 10-year-old Liam is Yoda, and I'm... Pee-wee Herman. I could block NOTHING!!! Forget attacking, all I could do was hold my Maul sabre upright, to try to not actually be killed! I asked "WHAT was THAT?!?!?" "My Jedi moves!" Liam has ALWAYS loved the Jedi, to the point that, when they were 5, he refused to have his picture taken with Darth Vader!

Where I grew up television didn't even start until midday and what was on after lunch was all for adults anyway; the TV for kids didn't begin until after school hours, 3pm to 5.30pm. We didn't even have Saturday morning TV until I was 10. I think I agree in that a lot of the stimulation kids have today that we didn't experience ourselves as kids is part of what makes their behaviour different and unpredictable to us. i.e. it's not just evolving pop culture, it's the increasing power of targeted entertainment.

Oddly a employee of Best Buy came over and asked me what the difference was between gold plated and non-gold plated cables for a computer. I said $29.99. Employee was confused and I explained if the end to end connection is not gold plated there is no benefit, you’re only paying more for the believe it helps. No more than 10 minutes later the manager is kicking me out of the store, mind you this was Thanksgiving weekend and I was selling iMacs like crazy, he said they needed the parking, I said I was dropped off, he got so frustrated he just said leave. So I did, reported to Apple and shortly after Apple pulled their products from Best Buy, not saying I was the reason, but Best Buy upswell is so ridiculously fraud and telling people lies.
