As they say in Asia - Same Same BUT Different - but a bit late for me

A bit late for me since I have had my PS3 since June last year :) But I wish they had a TV > 52" but < 70". The jump from $5k to $70K is a bit rich!

Plus it's hard to reconcile the price of the unit given in the US the 70" is about US$20k.

70" Bravia

Even given the lousy exchange rate of recent times and shipping and GST that's not even $40K here.

Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD. https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.

Got a ps3, but could easily justify getting the deal and liquidating the PS3

Just bought my PS3, mainly as a Blu-Ray player, together with a 42" Panasonic Plasma. Can't wait to receive the shipment on Monday. Slightly off-topic but I want to tell everybody

If you bargain with retailers, you can easily get the W40 series for under $2,400, negating the savings.

Actually the 70" sony is now only $30K. Quite a drop from the previous model. They also have a 55" x series for $10K, which one of the home theatre mags said it was the best lcd tv available (and the 2nd best tv after the pioneer kuro).
