The Costco version of the 42PX80U line ( Model TH-C42HD18 - nearly identical ) is $729 now, less the $100 coupon from the monthly Costco mag, add the 7% tax (local here) - then if you charge THAT to your AMEX, they'll add another year of factory warranty also, including Costco's added year = 3 yrs F.W. Total $674 !! That sounds like a very good deal for a very good entry level (?) model 768p plasma HDTV - from the largest plasma seller worldwide.
My folks bought their Panny plasma from Costco in a similar scenario two years ago, it's been a fine HDTV for them. I own two 8G Kuro's - the Panasonic/Pioneer plasma quality is as good as it gets. (is my math correct?)
