Plasma sold!

Some of the prudes at AVS are swearing the price of the 8500 will not drop until April or May

I had to show em the charting of last years a950, and how it dropped $900 for Sept to Feb

Some guys just hate the fact that when you buy in early, you pay more than most others. Hell, I paid $2500 for my plasma, and it was 1700 a few months later

Early adopters always pay a premium. If it is breakthrough technology, they pay a premium a couple of times. First for the overpriced lab prototype that was released too early (i.e. Toshiba A1) and then again a year later for the version that the manufacturer fixed all the stuff that was wrong with the first one. And they buy that one too early as well, because they are so frustrated with the prototype unit.

Yep. speaking from experience.

I was a little wary of the earlier LED sets, but the 8000 and 8500 this year seem to be REAL nice.

I'm glad I have to wait 3 months. Even if I only save $500, it's better than me impulse buying now

Im thinking the best pricing will be had right around Black Friday into Christmas.

Just because its the latest / greatest technology, doesnt mean its any better than current technologies.

It seems like people are expecting shortages this year, so deals might not be as easy to find.

I have always looked at black Friday TV offers, and they always seem to be sub par. They tend to find overstock in some old model of a TV that they can offer at a great price because they have a warehouse that was full of them. The warehouse was full because they could not sell them at the regular price. I am very skeptical of black Friday TVs. Super Bowl ones tend to be much better. But, of couse you have to realize that they are closeouts since CES just happened and all the new TVs are coming.

Black Friday == 2 year old technology
Superbowl == last years models.
