Even tougher knowing that Philips is coming out with the 63" 1080p PDP (63PFP7422D) priced @ $3499

this summer... and that 2008 will bring about the introduction of 2-way interactive 1080p PDPs from Panasonic.
Yes, and if you don't buy today there will be new technology and pricing right around the corner form those items you pointed out.

Isn't there usually a nice drop after Super Bowl also?
I think you would be happier going with the bigger set.
That sounds like a tremendous deal on the 58". I have been eyeballing that one for a while. If you don't mind, could you PM me on where you found that good of a deal?

If someone wants a 60-plus plasma I could see waiting 5 months to get the Philips model at a great price with tons of features. At the same time, you're gonna miss alot of great football!
Prices may not drop much, even with new models coming out. I think new models will sell more at a premium than older models at a discount. We already had two 20% price cuts in 2006 on flat-panels.
Lots of factors -- strength of economy, consumer spending, dollar strength or weakness, Japanese March 31st fiscal year -- will go into determing if we get another round of deep flat-panel pricing anytime soon.

I don't know a whole lot about Phillips but if that set is anywhere close to being good, expect this to help push other manufacturers prices down considerably.
I guessing by next fall, the 42" will be in the 800-900 range and the 50" to be 1500-1900 range.
Of course this could all change with the expensive transition to 1080P.
I would really like to see that panny 58 at 2999. That would be my buying point.
I wish I had a crystal ball...
