hey sealslayer, are you dead set on a plasma? or would you go for an LCD, or like a DLP? i have a 65" DLP. i'm very impressed with it's full range. my friends were loving it playing their 360 on it. i don't know, i think it kind of depends on your budget, because you can get some very nice LCD projections and save some bucks. but it's up to you and stuff.
