a lump of coal in my stocking...

I was looking forward to an LG 55" oled 6B, but my wife was thoroughly distressed at the thought of losing the old Pioneer Elite pro-1000HD because she loves the shiny black frame. And then Best Buy got in league with her by reducing the price for their Boxing Day sale from $2999 to $2499 CDN. I smelled a rat and cancelled the order. Sure enough, Best Buy are playing games - they reduced the price but installation and wall mount are no longer included. I would really need help getting the 100 pound Pioneer off the wall!

Oh well, I'm pretty sure I could get everything for $2800 if I showed up tomorrow morning at 6 A.M., but the thrill is gone. I suppose oleds will only get better over the next year, and my wife might go for a 65" - especially if it has the "glass in glass" look.
