Hi dB10,
The Pioneer Plasma that was quoted at 135k was the PD42xg. That was for cash and last March prices with no freebies. I am not sure if it was a parallel import or not. SM Appliance quoted me 149,999 cash at that time, also with no freebies. Prices might have gone down a bit right now. Interesting thing, I just came from Singapore and Hongkong yesterday, and the prices of the Pioneer 42xg is almost the same as here in the Phil. Converted to pesos around 128K to 130K. But the prices of Song, Hitachi, Toshiba, Sharp, and Samsung LCDs are aroung 20% cheaper there. I am planning to get a 42plasma this month and might get the 9500ta based on the stellar reviews of Sir Munskie. By the way which store is offering the Hitachi 9500 ta at less than 100K, 12 months 0% interest? Which would mean that the cash price should be around 85K to 90K? Correct me ifI m wrong. Thanks
