I think I'm about to succumb to temptation. I was super close to getting an NEC HT1000, and even closer when the HT1100 was announced, but I could never quite stomach the pricetag. Now that I can get something that will do native 720P for less than half the price, it seems like a no brainer.
I'm going to let the election decide. If Bush wins, I buy the AE700. If Kerry wins, I squirrel all my money away in offshore tax shelters and save them for a rainy day. If Badnarik wins, I'll go buy the G35 that I wanted.
