I've just found out that Penang's HN still got 10 new unopen units of Pioneer 508XG for sale at rm8999.
Is it a good price/buy?
Pioneer Kuro PDP-428XG/508XG, Is it still being sold?

I also leaning towards the kuro 508XG. Harvey Norman Penang quoted rm8999 for the unit. Since I'm not urgent to buy a new tv, I think I'll wait,hope the price drop when new others model launching.

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Feb 21 2010, 09:11 PM) U mean new models from Pioneer or other brands? Coz Pioneer will not release any more plasmas for now. They have exit the display industry. Also I would question whether HN sets are new or display or open box. Bro, I meant, other brands. I've confirmed that HN Penang has 10 new unopen units of 508XG and a few KRP500A. Price for KRP500A is rm13999 and 508XG is rm8999 respectively. |

QUOTE(gocitygo @ Feb 22 2010, 12:28 PM) I did called up HN Penang and yes, the new unit still available and price is firm. RM8999 (no freebies). Check on Pioneer website, the RRP is RM9999 Gocitygo, how much do you think is reasonable for bulk buy for Penang kia? I'm interested but the price is too high for 508XG.Just wondering is few Penang kia buy the 508XG together can get a better deal  My viewing distance is about 9ft. Do I get the full benefits of Full HD or HD Ready (i.e. 508XG) is suffice... My viewing distance is around 6 to 7 feets. 508XG is not Full HD, so is it significant for my viewing distance? |

QUOTE(index7 @ Feb 22 2010, 01:39 PM) I saw both the 508XG & 500A side by side... seriously I couldn't really tell the difference. So I am awaiting for the price to come down for the 508XG. I saw only the 500A in HN Penang. Very natural and excellent video. Can't make comparison bcos 508XG was not in dislpay. I really hope the price will go down soon. So, Penang kia who are interested, pls update this list.(1). Jimmyteng18 |

If I have to buy this 508XG with 5 yrs warranty:-
(1). What if the TV fails at year 3? Is there any problem of gettings parts? ie: panel, electronic boards..etc.., since Pioneer has stopped manufacture the parts? |

QUOTE(index7 @ Feb 21 2010, 11:46 PM) Yup - when I looked at HN's stock - they have quite a bit of 508XG stock left - so no need to really hurry. I managed to look at their inventory system while I was enquiring on some other products. Bad news, yesterday I went to HN Penang, all 508XG have been snapped up. Left only display unit of KRP-500A at rm13999, no discount.  |
