because it probably never will, and nowhere near the price of this one. I think it was just a prototype. As of late, sony is not taking many chances spending on innovation. Even bestbuy doesn't list their sets in their ads anymore, I'm guessing sony is not paying for it.

I don't think Sony will be making another one seeing how 3D is not even catching on like they had hoped during last years E3 when they announced this 3D display.

I think they might have moved on by developing this instead.

I think I'd rather wear these . Lol. But, seriously. Being a 3D nut, that's going to be interesting. Didn't, even, know about the previous version of those.

My Sony source said they decided not to make a new model because this one sold poorly. Of course, it might not be selling poorly now but I was told they're losing money at this price point.

I suspect if they could have profitably sold a 32" at $300 - that actually worked reliably - it would have done very well.

It is nice, but honestly I'll wait until I can get one on a super clearance because I'd just use it for a computer monitor or a second display when my fiancee is playing 360.

On the Best Buy warranty, could you mix and match the repairs/replacement?

For example, if the set dies quickly, have Sony fix it first, and if it goes bad again after that or after Sony's warranty period expires, then use the Best Buy warranty to replace it?

Ooo, Navy SEALs!

Be VERY careful with best buy's extended warranty though even if it seems similar to squaretrade and others. Know what you are buying.
Go read their fine print it.
http://www.geeksquad.com/uploadedFil...12_English.pdf

If we determine, at our sole discretion, that your product cannot be repaired, we will replace it with a product of like kind and quality that is of comparable performance or reimburse you for replacement of the product with a voucher or gift card, at our discretion, equal to the current market value of the product, as determined by us, not to exceed the original purchase price of your product, including taxes. Technological advances may result in a replacement product with a lower selling price than the original product.

So you are guaranteed to get way less than the original value of the item. There are countless posts on the BBY forums and reseller ratings claiming to have been offered a tiny fraction of the actual cost of the item.

Keep reading down and see all the limitations and "our discretion".
I've yet to have to file a claim with squaretrade, but their conditions seem much more customer friendly frankly.

how's the reliability of the display? I read a bunch of stories on how the display blacked out after a few months and i'm not willing to take any chances, even though the price is a steal atm.

so any idea what next week's DOTD gonna be.

I bought it today yeah the reliability stories sound horrible but 160 is a decent price

My guess is, this will drop to $100 on BF. I'll wait until then.
