Woohoo! WEGA for $1580!!!

My brand new, 32" WEGA XBR400 gets delivered tomorrow by the good folks at Sony. All for a low, low $1580! God, I love capitalism. And you wonder why their stock price is tanking? It's bastards like me! Hooray for me! Pillager of P/E's, the Rogue of the NYSE! Arghh, matey!! __________________ Now you have to go and order a progressive scan DVD player! http://www.toshiba.com/tacp/dvd/SD5109.html __________________ A THOUSAND BUCKS FOR A DVD PLAYER?!?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!? Oh, sorry, that's MSRP. Hah, when was the last time I paid that I wonder what kind of DVD player I can rip Sony off for... __________________ heh... go to your local B&M and try out a Progressive scan DVD player on an HDTV. *drool* __________________ Just had it delivered this morning, and the thing must take up 10% of my apartment! It stands a good 3.5-4 feet off the wall. Man, is the picture amazing, though. And that's with cable!! I guess the difference between it and a 25" Daewoo is pretty dramatic, but I'm still surprised! Anyone know if I HAVE to use the cable box? With it, I can't use the stupid PIP function, or a lot of the other favorite channel features. I'm on MediaOne. __________________ Nope... not a thousand bucks. You can get a refurb for like $333.00 http://www.refurbdepot.com/productde...roduct_ID=0864 __________________ Thanks, but it looks like the PS2 will be sufficient for my needs. Much obliged, though, ma'am! __________________ I don't think the PS2 does progressive? __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Leon I don't think the PS2 does progressive? No, but I've had pretty bad experiences with refurbished items, and a grand for a progressive DVD just isn't in the cards... __________________ $489.00 new. __________________ Ha! Pricescan found one for 399 at electroline4U.com. Riiiiiight, like I'm going to buy from a place called electroline4u... I'll check it out, though. As it is, the size of this mother is really cutting down on the amount of equipment I can physically fit... BTW, I see a guy named chenv is hawking XBR's too...let's see if he can beat my price __________________ our TV just died on us a couple days ago and i've been drooling over the TV you got. Could you tell me how you got it for that price, and if the offer still stands? pleeeeeeease __________________ but the guy that was getting these for me is inundated with requests (gee, must be a calender thing). As it is, he's looking pretty fishy, walking out of the Sony corporate stores with armloads of stuff. Maybe a little later on in the new year, but I simply assume you aren't interested in going TV-less for that amount of time? Sorry I can't help. I'm sure you're familiar with the saying about the snoozing and the losing... __________________ I think i'm going to get it at crutchfield for $2000 using the MSN passport thing and use the extra $400 for the TV stand and a DVD player. I've seen it at a couple places for $1600 but i'm not too sure I trust them. Mavi forum
