No worries. Its definitely of help, and since its a gift, my wife it buying it regardless of the discount I was just curious to know before going in to the store.

As for the place its a smaller place. They have like 4 stores in the Bay Area.

I hope its a significant amount cause I found the samsung one (at BB for 1699) on Amazon, and it had already been knocked down to 1199. This makes me think that getting it at cost from this place should be around the 1199 price and maybe less, cause wouldn't Amazon need to see it for more than cost?

I guess is Amazon were to get it for less anyways from the get go, like you mention with the bigger chains, that could explain.

Either way, I am SO excited.

On a related note, the 2 I am looking at (this is based mostly on online research, but I have viewed them both in store (circuit city) as well are:

Sony KDF-50E2000

or

Samsung HL-S5086W

---

Both rear project, the Samsung is DLP. I am leaning towards the Sony if prices are comparable since I have read much about the Samsungs breaking and having horrendous customer service.

Plus, CNET reviews point at Sony being superior, slightly.

I know of the DLP rainbow and rear projection Screen door effect, but I am not too worried about either.

Oh, and I am not even sure if the store in question carries these models, so its all preliminary

Any suggestions very welcome, I appreciate it all
