what if i don't really have a need for it now, but will be buying a house within 6 months. in the meantime, the tv will sit in storage. still a hit?

but are you sure you need plasma? The RPTVs can offer a better deal.

technology marches on, prices continue to fall. What's the point in spending $3K on a trophy for your garage wall? Wait until you get the house. Furthermore, you'll be throwing away part (or all) of your warranty if it's sitting in a sealed box.
