Well, I got the XBR2 today. I was surprised, as the delivery guys actually unpacked it and put it on my TV stand. I didn't think Sony would spring for that. I'm still a bit leery of the SXRD sets, so we'll see how it goes. I may have to up the warranty to five years. I guess I have the first 60 days to do that. That's $320, but the technician told me the optic block was a $1600 part, so if I ever got stuck with replacing one outside the warranty period, I'd feel pretty lame. Here's hoping I don't run into the same (or any) problems.
