Sony's VPL-VW200 and VW60 SXRD projectors come Stateside

Sony's been some busy busy bees in the last 24-hours -- must be the CEDIA juice in the Denver water. Official today come their 1080p/24 Bravia SXRD projector pair: the VPL-VW60 we've seen and new VPL-VW200 pictured above. The latter boasts the same specs -- 22dB, 35,000:1 dynamic contrast, 1,000 lumens -- only with a 120fps SXRD panel with three motion compensation modes and high-output Xenon lamp. Available Stateside, the VW200 hits in October for $15k while the VW60 will cost just $5,000. Full gallery over at Engadget.

Strange, I looked at the Japanese release announcement on the VW60 and the price including tax was under $4,000. I guess Americans are required to pay a 25% premium just because we are so dang special.

I think I'd buy from Japan if I were to buy one.

Damn, only 600 hours on my VPL-100 and here comes this beauty with performance to match. Being on the cutting edge sucks expensively, but I'll be first in line for the 200(grumble, grumble.)
