    I am looking for a cheap Archos 605 so I don't splurge on the 5 coming out. Anything? We really need that spreadsheet man.

    3 Things Americans love.

    1) Sales
    2) Bargains
    3) Deals

    Actually... who doesn't? I highly doubt there will be shorter lines.

    Our enormously productive economy... demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption... we need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate. -Victor Lebow (1955)

    I doubt it. A local furniture store had an ad in the paper for recliners from $39-$59. The sale happens this Saturday but was in last Saturday's paper. There were hoards of people that showed up on the wrong day to get one of these things, I can't imagine what it will actually look like Saturday. I'm debating whether or not to go early and get in line. ;)

    I hope the prostitution business will be running some quality sales as usual.

    plasma's have still have overall better picture quality

    the 720p vs 1080p is not really that big of a difference.
    1080p is only really used on bluray and video games.

    50 > 40 in

    so if you had a choice between a 40inch 1080p lcd vs a 50inch 720p plasma? you'd choose a 40 in at the same price?

    alot of people have 720p tvs and have not upgraded to 1080p
    the difference minor especially at smaller sized tvs

    its a great deal.

    1080P only becomes a factor for TVs over, what, 50"? And then its only a factor if you are running true HD programming over HDMI such as a BluRay player.

    correct. whenever they show the default bestbuy hd-channel, people standing 10 feet away can not tell which tv is 1080p and which one is 720p.

    plus other factors are much more important than this, color, contrast, video processing, viewing angle.

    There's also a 60inch DLP 1080p for
    $999
