Where do I sign? The only problem is, I'll need to get an apartment after my wife divorces me, then there will be those pesky alimony and child support payments every month, and of course there's that annoying need to eat and stay warm. But other than that, I'm sold!
Follow Ups:
Yep, I agree, the price of these things suck big time. Like much of high-end audio, you've either got to be rich or an obsessive fool to buy a plasma at this point. Count me the latter. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I am a movie nut. Once I saw some of my DVDs on a plasma I was hooked. I actually saved for a year to get one, during which time I investigated every other option (CRT/RPTV/FP) to see if I could find a cheaper, still satisfying picture. Unfortunately for me I found the picture quality of certain plasmas to be unique. My bank account hates me. My wife thought it was nuts, right up until we finally installed it. She was an instant convert. In fact, until recently she hasn't been able to stay awake for a full video movie at our home for, I dunno, maybe ten years. Now she actually stays attentive through whole movies because, she says, she finds the picture riveting.But I'd have to say it isn't only me. Everyone who sees this thing in action is simply amazed by the picture quality. It's just so realistic and three-dimensional. A pal who owns has a dedicated Home Theater room, with a very good DLP front projector, saw the Fifth Element on my 42" plasma and was stunned. "My projector is good...but it just doesn't do THIS," he said.
(BTW, what is it with women falling asleep during movies at home? Almost every guy I know says his wife/girlfriend often falls asleep when they try to watch videos at night).

(Sorry, these are the ramblings of a plasma convert. I'm sure owners of good RPTVs have many of the same positives about they're experience).
That way I can get into all the coolest gear and not worried about getting yakked at by my spouse . . .
...it's the content???? ;-)FWIW, my SO falls asleep regularly during movie watching. EVen his favorites.
I'm almost a plasma convert. I wish I had a 50" on my wall. Sigh...someday.
