Sony's BRAVIA XBR6 and XBR8 HDTV lines now up for pre-order

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 13th 2008 at 7:47PM

It only takes one glance to see that Sony's new XBRs are mighty, might fine pieces of kit, and you've been holding off on a new HDTV purchase until it could be one of these, the green flag has finally been waved. Of note, the 52- and 70-inch XBR7 sets aren't quite ready to be ordered, but the XBR6 and XBR8 crews are ready for your love (and credit card number). Hop on over now if you're kosher with dropping $2,499.99 to $6,999.99.

[Thanks, Danny]

$2499? I don't think so. Try reading the page being linked before posting it.

D'oh! You're right. Sony re-organized their LCD lineup on the webpage. I swear the 40" models used to be included in that list (it would be 40"-70"). Now it says 42" when they don't make a 42" model.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Sep 13th 2008 11:12PM

I've love to have a 52-56" LED-backlit LCD. But not for this money. Yow. I'm sure it's a great display, but it looks like I'll just have to wait for next year, or maybe the year after that.

I really really want to buy the 55" XBR8... my flagship 40" XBR Bravia is doing just fine but it's size seems a little small compared to all of the newer larger models. I would still put it up against ANY new model though since it's picture is far superior to most other lcd sets that are out now. I just have to convince my girlfriend that i NEED to spend $7000 and taxes on a new set. It's a good thing though that i'm good friends with a manager at a local audio/video shop since the idea of getting it at cost is a real plus!
