...And you're not making any compromises.
That same set was $2400 less than a year ago.*** I Feel Strongly Both Ways ***
Follow Ups:
Not listed in their newspaper ad, but the "secret" online page has them listed for $1k.Circuit City just cut their price down to $1200 from $1300. Wonder if they'll price-match Best Buy when customers show them the "secret" ad?
Amazon has the Panasonic for $998 with free shipping today!Rod
I see it for $1279.

Make sure you are looking at the TH-42PD60U. A couple days ago it was
$998 with shipping a little under $100. This morning it showed same price but with free shipping. The shipping may no longer be free by now though. Not sure how long the free shipping applies.BTW, it showed it as "white glove" shipping, which means they even set it up and unpack it so it can be tested.

Yes, the 60u is an EDTV. I thought that was what we were talking about EDTVs. Your post above brought up the Panasonic 60U, and I was merely mentioning the price I saw for it...much lower than $1400.Rod
Sorry for the confusion but I was speaking of the HDTV version. That and the EDTV variant both end with "60u" so I guess the confusion was unavoidable.EDTV is as dead as a doornail and I'm even surprised to find that they're still sold. They're OK for watching DVD's but that's about it. For $200-300 more you get the HD version of whatever you're looking at.
The price for the HD 60u is now around $1270 if you shop around. Positively an amazing price for admission into a top name brand plasma HD set.

Thats a great deal but what are then chances they actually have any at the store when u get there?? My parents where at Microcenter this morning to try an get the Olevia 542i that was on sale for $799 and they sold out in less than an hour! So anyways I'm back to looking for a nice budget 42in lcd tv. Arent there any standard recommendations for budget LCD tvs? If you go into the speaker or amplifier forum, u get hundreds of opinions on the best budget speaker/amp, but I guess there are also alot more options then you have with TVs?
Best Buy has a voucher plan on Black Friday. Basically, it's first come, first served. If you were one of the first few in line (the store closest to me had 6 to sell), then you got first shot at them. I believe the line started at that store Thursday around 7pm - 8pm.I got in line Friday at 2:35am (the doors were open at 5am) and left around 5:15am -- with nothing. If I would have left with nothing due to my getting there too late, well that's just too bad for me. I could have accepted that as it would have been my fault for not being as diligent as those who camped out/braved the cold, but that's not why I left with nothing. I could have gotten a few things left on my list (the important items sold out before the line even moved), but the way the store was set up inside was the most fucked-up setting I have ever seen in my life. The person who made that decision, corporate or local, needs to have a full grown elephant cum in his/her mouth ("...and swallow it!"). Sorry about the visuals, but that's how I feel.
My wife had better luck. At Circuit City, she got 6 of the $2.99-after-rebate Sandisk 1GB cards, 2 cases of the free-after-rebate 50-pack DVD+R spindles and a $39-after-rebate 250GB external hard drive. She then went to Wal-Mart and got, I believe, everything she needed there (numerous items) plus a few items for her sister. She then went to Starbuck's, got two ice coffees and made it back by 8:10am. To make matters worse (or better, depending on how you look at it), she started off at Circuit City with at least 150 - 200 people in front of her!
...I could really kick myself in the ass when I think of the $3500 I spent on my 42" Sony less than two years ago.What was that they said about "early adopters?"
;(
*** I Feel Strongly Both Ways ***
for two more years than those that waited.
Thanks Jim.I feel a little better with the way you put it!
;)
*** I Feel Strongly Both Ways ***
.
Not an early adopter huh?Damn, then I have no excuse!
;)
*** I Feel Strongly Both Ways ***
Wait till next month.
It'll be cheaper.
I paid $2,200.00 for my SONY 34XBR910
Now the latest model 960 I think is hundreds less.The first RICOH laser printers I serviced were $5,000.00
Now you can buy better laser for $150.00
