If they already have an Xbox 360

Or if they like to take a lot of video… These work pretty well (HD too)..

I would NOT be buying a tv before Christmas.. Why?

1) All the new models are due out beginning of next year.

2) Check out Best Buy’s sales numbers….

They got slaughtered… Translation… Early next year, deep discounting at retail stores on big ticket electronic items, higher end.

Frankly, I’m surprised they survived this long…

Best Buy Plunges Most in 8 Years After Cutting Profit Forecast

Best Buy plunged $6.50, or 16 percent, to $35.20 at 1:21 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, after falling as much as 18 percent, the biggest intraday drop since Aug. 8, 2002.

The retailer said its U.S. market share for the full year will decline because of weaker-than-expected sales of televisions, computers and video game software. Best Buy lost TV sales in the third quarter to “the large discounters” that promoted the least expensive models, Chief Executive Officer Brian Dunn said today on a conference call.

“What has really gone big in home theater so far this season is opening price point, tier-three brands going out at really, really hot prices,” Dunn, 50, said today in a telephone interview. “We don’t feature them.”

Consumers bought cheaper models of flat-panel TVs with screens of 36 inches and smaller for $229 to $299, Dunn said. Rising demand for smartphones and tablet computers also hurt spending on TVs, he said.
