Yeap! Sanyo reacted very fast with a $995 price at most dealers.
Looks like I spent $200 extra to receive the product rapidly… Very good product though, I am very impressed with the results obtained watching DVDs.

Looks like the Z60 price response is sooner rather than later. Amazing.

The PT-AX200 features a “Game” mode that improves signal processing for better response, allowing you to play games with minimal stress. It also reveals gradation in saturated areas to show detail that are otherwise lost in very dark areas.

Does the AE3000 feature anything like this?

I do not believe that Panasonic put all the same “gaming” improvements into th PT-AE3000U, however I will check into this. The PT-AE3000U is expected to arrive here this afternoon (or tomorrow), and if it does, it will be the next review. -art

When I first saw this I thought, great news – this is a sign for me to get the PT-AX200U and be done with it. I never cared about the Blockbuster rebate that much anyway. However, the rebate also included an extra year warranty – to extend to two years. I think now it is back to a one year warranty on the PT-AX200U and I do have reliability concerns (realistic or not). I think it may have been a better deal for street price at $1199 (or less), with the extended warranty.

How likely do you think Sanyo will drop the price of the Z60, especially since it just hit the market? The Panasonic, while comparable, is two years old now.

Hi,

Hard to say. Street price seems to be $1195, so perhaps a rebate. Ultimately, lots of factors. First, being a new product, production may not be fully up to speed, so they may be able to sell all they have, based on the $1195 price, but plan to lower after they have more product…

In the longer run, yes, I don’t think they’ll let Panasonic have a $200 advantage for very long. -art
