Eazy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) $3300 in todays paper 'The West' - Rick Hart. Awesome price. The U.S model PDP-5080HD is apparently being phased out. Perhaps this explains the price drop in Australia... Apart from competition from other plasma manus of course. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=989591 Edited February 20, 2008 by Eazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman72 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Digital Centre is now advertising the Kuro for $3099 http://www.digitalcentre.com.au/p/390079/p...uro-plasma.html I always planned to get one around the end of March but if it is a run out because production has stopped then I may have to act a little quicker!

Nova Phoenix Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Okay, this awesome TV being advertised for $3099 is seriously cool! I really want it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardweaver8 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 hey guys, be careful of that "digital centre" price. I looked into it a while back and that price was only applicable if you took out their finance package which has a stupidly high interest rate attached! There may be a way to pay the finance off early and avoid the interest though. Also, Big Picture People in Melbourne are doing $3,299 on this model. pxpx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panasony Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 DAMNIT!!!!$3299!!!! $550 cheaper in 1 month. I should have waited 1 month, seriously. If Pioneer has slashed $1700 of RRP. this week shouldn't they be even cheaper than $3299? $3299 is around 18% below RRP whereas $3849 is a massive 32.5% drop from the $5699 RRP that they were last week. Maybe the retailers are holding out. Has anyone got a better price than $3299. If so would you mind posting it for all to see. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PominSydney Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Which store and place did you get that price from??? I am thinking maybe I cancel my P9 and get the XDA instead for an extra $600 (no 26LCD, but 5 yr warranty and a better screen) If you have a receipt as well that would be grand Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with a guy named Paul, but Michelle there is very nice too. FWIW I put $1000 down and have 6 months interest free, for cash they would do slightly better, on 18 month, slightly worse, but don't know exacts. Take Care.

Hugh Jarse Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) I bought a 508xda today for 4K. Not a benchmark by OP's standard but a damn good deal for Darwin. The guys at JB's made my day. Now to wait for it to be delivered. Morricio, I mentioned your price when negotiating for the panel and the dude was gobsmacked. I used that as a base to work toward 4K. I am pretty stoked with the deal considering this is Darwin. If they can do 4K in Darwin - then perhaps 3.7K could be the next benchmark for those living in large metros. Any contenders? I have a feeling they will drop quite a bit in a couple months - but I've been waiting too long to upgrade to a real tv. No regrets here. Hi guys, Negotiated a match of the Digital Centre price of $3099 on the 508XDA at Clive Peter Braybrook. Price was agreed to over the phone - when I got there he said they would better the DC price & went down to $3076. Delivery will be some time this week. Didn't even have to verify other quotes. Also Picked up the DVR550HXS for $599. David Jones would only go down to $3,499 for the TV and wouldn't allow use of the 5 year interest free offer unless you paid the full RRP.

PominSydney Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Went into Bing Lee today and asked their best price .. the first price they came back with was $3,150 ... so imagine with a bit of bargaining cheaper still ... this price has certainly gone down over the last week or so ... wow! Based on that initial talk I would say $3,050 is now the place to be at for this TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernng Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Prices should come down even further for both XDA and LX models. Pioneer just announced that they will begin to sell LCDs and will source their panels from Panasonic. Their first LCD is targeted to be on sale in November, obviously to coincide with the Christmas rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
