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.
