ha ha....this sounds lame but this is an hdtv emergency. i will have a sony 60xbr2 delivered to my door within days. but i just reviewed the specs for the 60a3000 thats arriving in august and it offers hdmi 1.3 and 120hz frame rate. something the XBR2 doesnt offer. but whats nice about the XBR2 is the DRC 2.5 vs. the DRC 1.0 which is found in the A3000 which upconverts 480i signals...so viewing sd tv on the XBR2 is supposed to be better. my future wife is a tv watcher so im keeping her in mind here. do i cancel my order on the XBR2 and go for the A3000 or take it? will 120hz really matter? (ill be playing my blu-rays and dvds on my PS3 via HDMI) and how significant is 1.3????

(im buying the XBR2 for 2800 (thats including a 5 yr. warranty)
(the a3000 is $3000)

any insight will be awesome. thanks...
