the 50" plasma i got from stars is awesome def worth it.

Dude...you spent all that on an iPhone that doesn't make phone calls?

I was gonna save up for a TV once. Had to settle for a flask.

I am saving for the 50" as well, I only have like 65k right now but I could buy another 25k with ironman medals if I wanted to at any time.

I haven't been playing much on FTP lately, but I used to be iron for several months last year.

I have never spent a single FT Point or FPP. I spent all my party points at once on magazine subscriptions when party quit the US.

edit: I take it back that I NEVER spent a point, but I am sure I have never spent more than 100 on anything and probably less than 1000 points ever on either site.

I got 100k points. I'd like to pick up golf again. Probably haven't been in 8 years. I suck but wouldn't mind going out with some buddies this summer to kill some time.

With that in mind, anybody got any opinions on the golf clubs on there?

Cheap clubs, thats for sure. Pretty much you Wal-Mart brand club with the FTP sticker on it. Probably fine for a beginner, but I don't think there is much value as you will be spending almost $400 worth of points and you could probably buy something very similar for less than $200

I already have a phone.

This one does everything else (and then some) and costs me a total of $0 per month for unlimited useage.

I like things that cost me $0 per month for unlimited usage.

I agree, the iTouch is pretty sweet.

Personally, Im looking at the digital rebel as a snapshot camera...it would help a lot to have a digital for setup shots, getting film for the polaroid that i use to check lighting is getting pricey.

I got the 50" tv from Stars last year - older model. The US model they have now is a much nicer version than they give for CDNs.

I'm seriously thinking about saving enough points for a car...not sure which one. I may save up for a while and get the Porche and try to sell it - only because the conversion factor is much greater than anything I can get now. (This is because cars still costs a lot more in Canada than US - eg. each FPP would be worth about 2.5 cents each vs 1.61 cents for anything else -> makes a significant difference over three million fpps).

Of course I'm still a longs ways away. At my current pace...I probably could get the Porche in about a little under two years. Maybe I'm dumb and should cash the points now and get the currency in todays dollar.
