I've been putting money aside for my long awaited upgrade to my 46" XBR2. I've had my eye on the XBR8 and noticed it was on sale at Best Buy this week for $4,499. This still seems fairly high, but it's the first discount I've seen on them other than on Sony's website. Is the XBR8 worth the money? I was hoping to go with a 60" for my next HDTV so Sony's 52s are too small for me. 55" seems like a good compromise. When will Sony release the XBR8s successor? Is there any info on it yet? Thanks a bunch for any advice you may have to offer.
