Don't know about all that, some of the upper line Aquoa LCD's are mighty fine. I will grant that there are some disparities over the product lines.

I recognise that Pix is just given T the ol' wind-up but I think it's fair to say, and still valid to say, that the BDA wants to keep the prices up. It's just not practical at this point.

A quote from a different thread:

I'm afraid to look at my 401K. It'll bounce back long before I can access it (time to buy right now so hopefully my fund managers know what they're doing). My parents are 61 and lost $250,000 in two days! Now they say they'll wait until they're 70 to retire (they tend to panic). Their nextdoor neighbor lost $400,000. I'm just glad I locked in my financing for my new car when I did. I was pre-approved in the mid-fours and now it's over 6% for people like me with 800+ credit scores.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of folks that aren't even considering a three or five or twelve hundred dollar "movie contraption" at this point, Christmas or no.

It's a case of situational marketing.
