Yes, i'm sceptical of buying it because of the price but i also feel its going to last a fair few years with it being already 3D ready, and already HD Ready.
I'm not bragging Matt, I was looking for opinions, and I got them, my mind was 70-30 for getting the TV mainly because of the launch of Playstation move, Gran Tourismo 5, and 3D, all at the same time.
The movies are a bonus, and it seems theres more and more becoming available each month, i dont expect to sit and watch 3D movies 24 hours a day for weeks on end, but i feel 3dtv is a bonus in itself, so when a 3d movie is released on blu ray, we can enjoy it at home, in the meantime we can enjoy what the PS3 has to offer in terms of 3D gaming and also, motion gaming. Combine that with 5.1 surround sound and you're immersed in what technology has to offer.
I feel personally that this TV will last 5 years without thinking of upgrading, in which time i've already enjoyed what the 3D has to offer, even if i choose to upgrade again before that, i havent lost anything, ive still got a HD tv.
I'm certainly not kicking myself over the decision, i thought most of you would be going out and buying one already before me.

Why "upgrade" your current 50" plasma when it's not even 12 months old & is more than adequate for current content?
"Future"? Yes, keyword "
future". If 3DTV is the "future" (& it certainly is
not the present!), then why spend five grand
now, when you can wait for
more content & cheaper TVs in the future?
"Playstation move, Gran Tourismo 5, and 3D, all at the same time."
Move: September 2010
GT5: November 2010
Sky 3D: Late 2010
3D Blu-rays: Hardly
any currently available
So why spend all that money to buy a 3DTV
now?
"more and more [movies] becoming available each month"
Such as?
Hmm...
Monsters vs. Aliens: March 2010...but only when purchasing a Samsung 3DTV or 3D BD player.
Ice Age 3: Currently only available when purchasing a Panasonic 3DTV (not available separately until March 2011).
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: June 2010.
Toy Story 3: Not until November 2010.
Disney's A Christmas Carol: Not until November 2010.
Avatar: Not until 2011.
Yes, there are other movies coming to the cinema in 3D later this year, but that's
cinema, so it will be even longer before they hit 3D BD.
So there's hardly any content *currently* available... And even later in the year, there still won't be very much (or of that, even less will actually be any good).
"I feel personally that this TV will last 5 years without thinking of upgrading"
Did you also feel that when your purchased your 50" plasma?
How about when you bought whichever TV you had before that?
Think back to how many generations of HD Ready TV we have now seen, with improvements every single year, not just including 1080p being more & more common in place of 720p/1080i.
Next year's 3D TVs will be better than the one you have just bought, & will be cheaper.
Sorry, but I think you have wasted your money. Big time.
