I haven't done much price comparison.
As far as the RP DLP, I saw in BB a Mits 62" DLP for $4000. Our website
shows the 73" Mits DLP (WD73927) as low as $4900, although the MSRP is
closer to $10k, and a realistic price is more like $7.5k. Also, this model
is a "microdisplay", which from what I've heard (not much) could be
mounted on the wall if need be. Here's a link:

I have not done recent research on projection systems.
Regarding Xbox 360, my wife was lucky enough to be shopping in a Wal-mart
(don't hear lucky and Wal-mart in the same sentence too often) just before
Christmas when they announced they had some systems in stock ... and she
got one for me. The picture is incredible on my CRT RP Mits 55". The
difference in graphics and emmersive gameplay is definitely worth it for me
... and I'm not a big gamer.

Shane, without meaning to ask you to provide any
personal information, can you give an
approximate - general - estimation of what price
range to anticipate for the system you described?
The reason I ask is, this matches closely to my
"dream" (next) system. Except for the "hanging-
LCD" - I'd prefer to stay with DLP - and
ultimately an FPT. Can you comment on your
reactions to the X-Box-360... I haven't yet made
the switch from the old X-Box - matter of
priorities, rather than desires!
Thanks...

I don't have a complete vision yet, but here are
some scattered thoughts:
- in my current room, DLP (1080p)
- but my wife likes the one's that hang, rather
than sit. If we go
wall-mount, it will be LCD
- in my (eventual) home theater, front-projection
of some sort (probably
DLP) ... I've not done much research yet
- our current TV room is roughly 25x15, and we sit
approximately 17ft from
the TV, so the bigger the better.
- I've always liked Samsung & Mitsubishi, but the
new Sony's looked great
at CES
- It must have HDMI w/HDCP
- my DVD player already has HDMI
- my STB is still limited to component, but I will
be upgrading that soon
to a DVR anyway (once DirecTV releases them)
- component input would be nice to support my
gaming consoles (PS2, Xbox
360)
- multiple inputs would be nice, although I will
probably upgrade my Denon
to one with HDMI switching before long.
I think that's it.

Shane - On the subject of shopping for a new TV -
what
would be your perfect TV? Specs, inputs, size
etc.
Personally I'm waiting for Sony SXRD with 1080P
inputs
but I'm curious as to what you are looking for.
