The online price shows $1299 (Same as BF price) Apply the 10% coupon (I have one which expires 11/22) and the price is 1169 + tax. Free Shipping. The best price so far I guess. Don't forget 2% Cash Back which will bring the price to $1145
Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV (TH-42PX60U) PAN TH42PX60U Price $1299.99 Qty 1 Coupon Discount -$130.00 Total $1169.99
I price matched to BB and the deal worked very well for me I guess.
TV Came to 569.99 ($1599.99 - $300 (CC PM) - 10% CC coupon - $600 (Direct TV + Install)) Home installation $200 (Panasonic $200 rebate should take care of it) H20 Receiver $99 I took 4 year warranty for $249.99 which I am going to cancel. I don't think a $569.99 TV needs a @249.99 warranty.
Bottom Line, I got the TV for $569.99 + Tax
Good luck guys. Just wanted to encourage all to try. Here is the scanned receipt. I of course removed some sensitive info.

OP's wording is confusing.
Deal Summary:
Purchase TV at BB and PM to CC's price (CC's online price is the same in-store) There is no FW Cash Back since it is purchased at BB, not CC. Use a 10% BB coupon (OP got it in the mail from Reward Zone) or 10% CC Coupon Getting BB to PM CC price - CC's 10% off - $600 HD Complete Advantage is the "Huge YMMV" part of the deal (Tip: Bring receipt scans with you). Note: BB had this TV for $999 on Black Friday (Cheaper than CC PM BUT you couldn't combine the $999 with the HD Complete Advantage $600 discount)
Buy the DirecTV HD receiver for $100 (possibly no contract required) Buy installation (mounting hardware and cables not included) By purchasing this Panny plasma, DirecTV HD receiver and install, BB will automatically subtract $600 from the price of the TV (This is the HD Complete Advantage offer) Sign up for BB's Reward Zone if you haven't got it to get points on this purchase (Free!)
Return later to BB and have the installation refunded if you don't need it and you don't want to deal with the $200 rebate. (Huge YMMV) Return later to get DirecTV HD receiver refunded to avoid rebate hassle (YMMV) or fleabay it for ~$70.
Is this set (at 1024x768) an HDTV or EDTV? Standard EDTV Resolution
853 x 480: typically found on 37", 42", 43" & 46" plasma screens
High-Definition HDTV Resolution
1024 X 768: found on 42" & 43" plasma screens 1280 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens 1365 X 768: found on 50", 61", & 63" plasma screens
Generally, a plasma TV screen is considered "High Definition" if the second number of the resolution is at least 720 pixels. (Source, Thx JayDogg)
If you want to connect a PC to this plasma, you need to buy a DVI-to-HDMI cable and your PC must have a DVI connection (most PCs 2 years and newer should have this already). Cheap cables here
It may help the chance of getting this deal (and cut down on wasting time) to list what stores do and do not allow it:
Deal or No Deal?
State/City/Who?
NY/Hartsdale/don't know name - tiny dude with bad hair - NO DEAL NC/Gastonia/manager - First they said they'll give it without 10% off, but they ended up not giving it at all. turds. NC/Charlotte/mgr - No deal

feeth said:Would you better off doing this deal at BBinstead?
Thanks for pointing this out. I was ignoring that thread thinking it was not possible. I gave it a shot today at BB and worked out very well.
TV Came to 569.99 ($1599.99 - $300 (CC PM) - 10% CC coupon - $600 (Direct TV + Install)) Home installation $200 (Panasonic $200 rebate should take care of it) H20 Receiver $99 (Direct TV $100 rebate shound take care of this. I also heard about portable DVD player rebate)
I took 4 year warranty for $249.99 which I am going to cancel. I don't think a $569.99 TV needs a @249.99 warranty.
Bottom Line, I got the TV for $569.99 + Tax
Good luck guys. Just wanted to encourage all to try. Here is the scanned receipt. I of course removed some sensitive info.
Thanks a ton, man. BTW, where is the BB you bought your set? (Well, I went to 2 BBs in my hood this afternoon. Their offer is the same..."either" a PM or a HD-upgrade. No double dip. Yeah, they suck !!!
KVA said:Bestbuy is showing 1599 how can you price match ?? can you give me the details of direct tv deal ?
Thanks
BB has it for 1599 CC has it on sale today for $1399 (Same price as BF. Check cc web site) CC also has a 10% of coupon
BB price matched the price and coupon (I also had BB 10% reward Zone coupon which came by mail) So the price came to $1169
Now, sign up for direct tv HD or upgrade to direct TV HD ($99)(The deal may not be good if you do not want direct tv. There are similar deals with HD cable TV too) Sign up for professional installation ($200)
The register takes of $600 from the price of the TV. (Its supposed to take only $400 off, but it takes of $600) This makes price of the TV $569
There is a $200 rebate from Panasonic for installation There is a $100 rebate from Direct TV for HD receiver
This makes the price of the TV $569 with professional installation. Then you pay for your monthly direct TV programming. Hope this helps.

KVA said:Thank you minnjj... is there any contract for Direct TV ? how much per month is the minimum I have to pay ?
Its the usual 1 yr contract I think (I need to confirm this). Also, the minimum is about $40 which includes local channels and HD programming (I need to confirm this too). You do not pay anything extra for this deal. Also, similar deals are available for HD cable TV too.
Doesn't sound that hot to me, - call me a party pooper. $40 a month = $480 a year, so that makes the TV just over $1k again for a service I wouldn't be interested it.
