Frys: LG 60PA6500 60" Class 1080p 600Hz Plasma TV $689 + tax YMMV

Heres my rant about frys that just happened. So I go to see if there any left in tempe,az and I walk up to one of the dudes and ask about this tv. He says we have 4 but 2 are demos 1 is broken and 1 is payed for. He never bothered to look in the back or check the computer so I check the inventory checker online(I know its not accurate) but decide to buy it online for full price and instore pick up. I wait 10min for my emails and go to the register and tell them Im here to pick up so and so. He rings me up 689 $ plus tax and I say so you do have this tv and he says yeah so he tells me to park my truck in front and wait so I go. I wait about 25min like an idiot go inside and they tell me they don't have any instock so why the hell did you let me check out. He says they are checking the back and I wait 15min until nothing so I go check it out and they are all in a circle talking about ties or some shit. I explain to them if they can substitute another for it or raincheck this but no go. I have to go to customer service and wait 25min inline since there is only 1 employee and 3 saying fkn hello at the front....And then they tell me they cant refund my order without the physcal item which they never gave me so I started raising hell. Another 20min later an employee says dont worry I found you one in the back so it magically appeared...so in conclusion f@#$ frys electronics. First and only time I will shop there.

Frys in downers grove claims it is a floor model only. Best buy price matched it though.

How long before the online pickup expires? Anyone know?

Sorry what do you mean?

Yep I would have to agree. Fry's is shady just like every other electronic store out there. That's the reason people shouldn't feel bad when you pwned them when they make a mistake.

I mean, there's a reason why there are so many Fry's low price items that get posted on the forum but are never in stock. Shady. They're just as bad as Best Buy.

How does this compare to the LG 60PM6700? Or even the Samsung PN60E530? These were listed at $999 in Frys. On the floor side by side the Samsung picture looks the best but I know that could just be their settings.

I want to get one today but just torn. I don't need the 3D or the Smart TV option, but not opposed to it either.

the LG model is a step up and I think the Samsung will have a better picture

However they are $300 more

is it worth $300 to you...or another 30% more in price?

If it's 30% better I'm willing to pay it. If there's not much of a difference in the picture quality I'd rather not. Do you think there's much of a difference?
