Let's hope other companies won't follow. Dropping support for RPTV means fewer low-cost HDTV options, thus fewer people getting into the HD market and switching from DVD to HDM.

Would've thought Sony would think of that, but then again, Sony isn't low-cost to begin with.

I think Sony wasn't making enough money off the SXRD line as the price dropped so quickly. So I am betting this was done to put emphasis on the more profitable Bravia LCD line. But if you are fan of 60" to 70" size HDTV's, which I am, it's a sad day. Right now the 52" LCD is the biggest afforable one one and really it is not all that big. I guess the 60" Pioneer Elite Kuro is going to get much more popular because of this move. I just hope Sony keeps making the lamps for these TV's for a good long time. I may have to stock up on a few extra bulbs.

What great business sense Sony has. Let's stop producing a product that is so popular that it's on backorder.

I can't wait until the death of Blu-ray and Sony along with it. This company sucks.
