Crutchfield had the first shipment last week.
Retail is $2700 but they sell it for $2500
with shipping included.
The item is backordered big time as it is very popular. So I recommend you pre-order.
I bought it at a local retailer for the same price. (I could have wait for the online stores to start given it at a more discounted price, but I did not want to wait.) I am sure a couple weeks or months down the road you can get a better price online.
But as it is very popular, and it short supply I don't expect the price to come down much very soon, IMHO.
The price is quote steep though.
You can get a VERY NICE 16:9 rear projected TV for the same price or less, like the upcoming Mitsubishi 46807. (I believe.)

Thanks for the tip. I called SoundCity, they have it at $1995 + $125 shipping.
The stand is $200.
I will try to get my current pre-order cancelled.
The problem is that I made a deposit of $1000 already.

DVD players, ld players, receivers, wire and of course, dvds, are all online store items.
But a multi thousand dollar tv is something I would probably get from an independent local guy. It will cost more and the sales tax is substantial, but I have seen too many crappy tvs, even Wegas, and a local guy can install and deinstall and spare me the hernias.
