Consecutive Sony HDTV Price Drops? - Blu-ray Forum

ReduxInflux · 08-01-2007, 08:07 PM

i was just re-checking the ship status of the latest models of SONY's SXRD Rear Projections (namely the A3000) and noticed another huge price drop before they've even been released? It started out at 3500. Then a month or two later went to 3000 and low and behold its now at 2700? It releases at the end of this month. This is the tv that I want (over an XBR2 which I just got today and will probably be reselling brand new for the A3000) ...due to its HDMI 1.3 and 120hz frame rate. But I'm wondering why these price drops? And they're only selling a whole whoppin $100 above the current A2020 models? Whats the deal? Regardless...and no matter how exciting, I'll be waiting for c-net and Consumer Reports reviews before i take the leap...

p.s. they've had the 'free shipping on everything: ends thursday' up for...oh...a good month now. weird....

Wow! You're right. The 60" A3000 is now $2700 at Sonystyle. That is incredible.

It is getting next to impossible to resist it now.

One guess: They want to be able to offer a combo set + S300 Blu-ray player for under $3000 later in the year.

waiting on my 60!

DANG! They not even shipping yet and the 70" says backordered.
Maybe that at least gives me some time to look at them in stores instead of buying blindly.
