They have a deal for $1999.99 and includes a stand!

I am thinking of picking it up through them.

They will also through in a Criterion BLU for free.

They are not an authorized online Pioneer dealer. If it doesn't bother you that they would not honor the warranty I'd say go for it.

Well you can get a 4 year warranty through the store it seems... that would be good enough.

Maybe paying the extra $150 would be worth the pioneer warranty.

I heard if I buy online though it doesn't matter.

THe problem is I have to pay about $1000 US more for a 111FD at my local store. It seems like a good price though...

If you dont need the tv tuner and the speakers, then I see no reason to go for the 111 over the 500 or 600.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't need a tuner or speakers.

They don't sell online, so I guess they are not an online dealer. Their website does state that they are an authorized Pioneer and Pioneer Elite Dealer.

I wimped out on this...

I really don't need a new tv... even though I want one... lol

The CAD dollar is getting better so if I see a price to jump at... then I will.

Just a few of the advantages I'm enjoying over the 5010 that I had prior to the 600M:

Obviously the 10" bigger screen
Reds are more lifelike
Pure mode
Hum from screen almost inaudible. I could easily hear the 5010 from my listening position, but not the 600M.
Motion rendering appears smoother
Glass doesn't have the eggshell texture of the 5010

If anything, the blacks are even deeper but it's very close. In all, a no-brainer decision to upgrade and I'm very glad I did!

Yes, and that is a very unfortunate thing. Part of the reason I upgraded now is because Pioneer is getting out of the plasma game, and they were the best manufacturer by a wide margin.

As for putting up new photos, they would look much the same as my current pics.

I'm trying to save up to construct an addition to my home that would give me more space for my HT system. Until then, I may not post more photos or upgrade my gear.

My baby is finally up and runnin

Wow, the Bluray look amazing, same thing for HD programs on TV but DVDs kinda suck now

I'll start a gallery next month because I'm moving pretty soon so no need to do it now.
