my first bluray player

I got this yesterday at WalMart for $68 + tax.  Since it doesn't have NetFlix (I didn't assume it would, was just hoping...), I need to get some Blu ray disc(s) before I can decide if it is worth being broke for the next month...I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter.  Other big news is that my Mom decided to give up her car, so now I have to rely on other people to take me places if/when I need it, which means going places for the sake of going somewhere is no longer an option, unless I feel like walking, which I've been trying to do more of since the rain etc. has been easing off since Thursday, although today it rained, I don't think it thundered etc. though...BUT ANYWAY; since I don't have any money I'll need to try harder to be self sufficient.  Which will be easier since I won't have anyone to indulge me in my road warrior dreams...or whatever you call that...um...anyway.
  I probably don't need a Blu ray player, at least not yet...but I really didn't need an HDTV either, although I didn't know that when I got one...it's nice having a TV that doesn't weigh a ton, but as far as functionality goes, this blu ray player has been a long time coming.  I've been racking my brain trying to figure out whose idea it was to make HDTVs when television wasn't being broadcast in HD, and blu ray players were still in development, if that, when HDTVs first came on the market.  I mean, it's nice to see that the consuming public actually bought an HDTV in the hopes of someday being able to watch something in HD on it, but you'd think more people would hold off on something like that.  So, to summarize, I'm stuck with my HDTV, so $68 ain't a bad price to pay for making it useful.
