I was in the market of buying a new tv, and saw a 52' Mitsubishi tv for $1500 at Fry's I was thinking of buying. My friend wanted me to sell him my Xbox 360 which I paid $600(two games, warranty, tax inlucuded). He found a really good deal on a 56' RCA HDTV for $399 brand new http://www.brightandsleek.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HD56W58

I bought it at the store which was the last one it's been discontinued for a long time so the system dropped the price a lot. Well I gave him my 360 for finding the deal, do you guys think that was a good deal getting a t.v, but giving away a 360.

I didn't play the xbox that much I was more concerned about the money.
Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    Theirs nothing wrong with the tv, it's brand new from the store. He's the manager there, and he didn't want anyone to buy it, because they lose $1000 gp by selling it.

    Is it a Scenium TV? I heard they were pretty awesome. If not, that's still a great price. You got a whole lotta TV there. Enjoy it. Oh, and steal back your X Box :)
