I asked Pioneer for some a few weeks back. They said they came with their Blu Ray players not the TV's. And no they didn't have any left!

My local dealer in new york, park avenue audio, has them. when i went there about 3 weeks ago they played it for it me on the 151FD. wow is all i can say. thats a perfect TV demo. blacks, color, 3D depth effect, and just an overall amazing PQ. the pioneer had it all.

You think they will give me one for free? its just a demo disc

Yes, I am shining my dancing shoes as we speak ,Tomorrow is the day I go to the BB, it's an hour a way so I am praying I can make a good deal , they want $4799 , if I can get them down to $4200 I will be happy and i can live with that I hope they don't pull some BS when I try to use my coupon for 10% off. It says on any tv $799 and up (except Sony XBR series)

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but you can download decent size clips from Kuro Demo disc in full HD 1080P M2TS file that can be extracted and played on your Kuro TV via a USB stick. I've downloaded 'sync of beauty' and its awesome on my 6020. The demo was actually 4 separate files and 4 separate downloads of RAR files. After download, Win-RAR extracted the files into the final product, a M2TS file. Its about 6 minutes which is just enough to have the experience without getting bored.

Here's the link to download the samples:

Me thinks you need to put it on a thumbdrive and just plug it to the 5020.

[The Big Blue]

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. On the site it says something about being PS3-compatible.

Wafi where did you get your kuro demo disc?

Got it from ebay. I've actually emailed the seller to see if she still has any left. Back in March she had about half a doz or so. Will get back to you if I hear from her. They are kinda steep tho...she sellz em for $50 but thats shipping included.

I am pissed , I just got back from BB in King of Prussia, PA without a 151 Me and my stepdad drove an hour to this BB, I went into the magnolia room and stood there for 10mins or so looking at the 151 they had on display thinking somebody would come over and ask if I needed some help. nope I had to look around for a salesman, I finally found one. I told him I was interested in the 151 and I have been researching it for quite awhile. The price was $4799, I asked if there was anyway he could come down a little? I told him that I know that they have had the same 4 sets lying around for for over 3 months and I'd like to take one off your hands. He told me that there is no way he could bring the price down, I said could you please ask your manager? and tell him I don't need the free delivery or free setup that you offer(I had my stepdad's van) that should help with the price. He came back 5 mins later a nd told us "sorry, he said $4799 is the lowest we can go otherwise we will get in trouble with Pioneer" (My heart started to race) I showed them printouts of Saprano saying he got his 151 for $3999 at his local BB and told them about the guy in Minn that got one for $3500. It did not help me one bit. Then I asked if I could use my 10% off coupon? They said nope that is for regular priced items only! F@@K ME! what the hell! I said could you atleast sell it to me for $4500? He asked some other salesman and said sorry sir. This was my worst experience with BB since I have been shopping there! $4700 was all the money I could spend, thats all. I am so dissapointed with BB. I cant believe this! these Aholes have 4 151's instock! and would not deal with me. Looks I wont be dancing anytime soon with you Saprano

what are the differences between the 151 and the 6020? I am considering getting a 6020 since its 1K cheaper. are the blacks any different? can I run one of those calibration programs on it? this sucks I'm probably gonna have to settle on my sencond choice if I cant get a good deal on a 151

Sorry to hear about your BB experience Sarge. For me just about any Kuro, 9th gen works! But I'll let the experts delve into the matter.
