You are correct that high(er)-brow movies sold better to the HD-DVD crowd by about twenty percent. However it takes ten of these movies to equal the earning power of one mass market flick. Atonement has lifetime DVD sales of $20 million while the Harry Potter series has sold over $1 billion in DVDs. Like it or not, "mass market" movies are where studios make their money and across the board those sold better on blu-ray. In the months leading up to Warner's decision, those money making movies were selling at a ratio of 2:1 in favor of blu.

Does Samsung even have a wireless HDTV? I know they had a plasma a couple of years ago but did not think they had one now. I have also never seen a Vizio with this option. The only LG that I can find with a wireless connection is a much lower quality television.

You do realize that this is currently Sony's top of the line television? That they do offer many more Wal-mart priced units?

I honestly do not get why people are unwilling to pay for a nice product.

Care to elaborate?

Care to wait for a review?

Already previewed these have you?

Set it up and compared it to other units in a side by side?

yes please

I don't have access to the story immediately but the reason for switching is the cost of manufacture. Samsung was eating Sony's lunch on cost. Samsung uses the edge-lit model and it saves over $100 per unit to build. On top of that, many reviewers say the edge-lit Samsungs had a better picture.

Once they shave the price on this thing down to about $9,999.99 it will be mine.

new touch is my guess

This would be amazingly nice to have.

First of all, the standard unit is $2200. This gives you a dual core intel, 3 GB of ram, 160 GB hard drive, cd burner, card readers and all the ports you would expect. But beyond that it comes with some really nice features: carbon-fiber chassis; arguably the best laptop keyboard made, XBrite screen that is gorgeous, and a very nice trackpad. You will not get into the 4k price range unless you add a bunch of options to it. Notice that Nilay wrote "FULLY KITTED-OUT $4,450 price".

Some people are so blinded by hate for Sony that they cannot admit when a quality product is worth its price. I suggest he probably has never seen one much less ever used one.

Yes please.
