brisvegas1 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Pioneer has launched some amazing new technology with their 8th Gen. Kuro Plasmas... only problem is some people are finding them a teensy bit expensive. Here we are going to track the Launch prices and see what sort of deals people are able to achieve. Feel free to post scans of your receipts to help everyone get the best price. Launch RRP: PDP-428XDA - RRP $4,699 PDP-508XDA - RRP $5,699 PDP-LX508 - RRP $8,499 (estimated - see http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/plasma/0,239035...9282238,00.htm) PDP-LX608 - RRP $11,999.00 (estimated - see http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/plasma/0,239035...9282250,00.htm) Yes - we know these prices are high, but I like to think of them as just a starting point for negotiation How low have you got them and where did you get them from? Post away... Link to post Share on other sites

brumby1503560467 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Up here in Noosa I was quoted $5k from HN and a specialty shop (Fi). They both got the 508XD in today. No haggling whatsoever on my part, but Noosa is well known as a "high price" shire. The assumption is that everyone who lives here is LOADED. Some are, most aren't. What I'd like to see is prices that people actually achieved in BUYING the panel. Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Waters 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Confirmed $4780 from Myer City Melbourne 508. Want to see my receipt And if you use a Myer One card, you get enough points for a $100 gift card. Handy that. So, for me that's like $4680 as I often shop there I will just use the $100 instead of a card next time anyway. Get delivery next Monday (took exactly 1 week from order placement to confirmed delivery with Pio. installer). Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed that is why I asked for confirmation I would be at Myers tomorrow at that price The $4780 of Tom's above was more in the line I would expect.

Any chance you could post a scan of the receipt? Second that (er third that), oh smudge out your private details of course. If your can, which Myers as well will assist also . The extra $100 on the my Myers One card makes this a good buy. Did you buy anything extra such as a blue ray player etc to help get this price?
