This is my first post so please be gentle. Did a search for Sony SXRD and didn't find anything. Apologies if repost.

In today's Fry's ad in the San Jose Mercury News it has:

Text

Note the ad reads "Before Savings"

50-inch $1799 -- $400 savings = $1399 SKU 5384038
55-inch $1999 -- $500 savings = $1499 SKU 5384048
60-inch $2199 -- $600 savings = $1599 SKU 5384018

Prices at Frys.com are higher, plus you have to pay shipping.

I checked a few other online Fry's ads in other cities and didn't see it, so this may be for the Bay Area only.

The ad is NOT a misprint. Fry's Campbell had the new SXRD next to last year's XBRs with the price of $1599 for the 60".

Replacement lamp is Sony XL-5200
it is $250 form Sony, you can also get a bare lamp to reuse the lamp housing for around $150

If you have the space for it, I think in this case the extra $100 for each increase of 5" in size is definitely worth it.

This is a Great Deal. I have been watching for this TV to come down in price again so I can pick one up. Hope it spreads to the Austin area. Thanks OP!

this had to be an error. the $600 savings is $2799(price before sony's price drop) - 600 savings = $2199. someone failed at ad writing. if you can get one good luck, I just paid $2199 for mine.

This is absurdly cheap but I called the store and it is indeed going for those prices. Don't know how long it'll last. I just hope I can get a price guarantee for it..

The Los Angeles store has it for $2,199.

This looks to be regional.

Wow what a ridiculous deal! If any of you can get it for that price, don't think, just buy. I have the 50" A2020 and it's fantastic. This model is updated with some nice new features and to get 60" for $1599 is incredible.

hey, i said "if you can get it, good luck". the price drop just went from $2799 to $2199. dropping another $600 - i am not saying that you CAN'T buy it for that - i am saying someone at fry's screwed up - they may honor it until they run out of stock, who knows?

i will be calling the local fry's (austin) to see what they have it priced at.

Anyone know how long the bulbs are supposed to last and how much they cost as a replacement?

Yup, this couldn't be a clearer case of foot-in-mouth. In your original post, you concluded that "this had to be an error"--not might or likely, but had to be. Then, you proceed with a disparaging remark "someone failed at ad writing." And again, in your reply, you say "i am saying someone at fry's screwed up." Fact is, you were the only one in error by jumping to conclusions before getting your facts straight--ad was not in error because no one at Fry's made any mistakes. So, I say again, how does your foot taste?!
