Well remember that the XBR1/2 SXRD models are alot more expensive than the A2000 models.
Can anyone explain why? I only see a version difference in the WEGA shutter software/hardware.

I know the XBR2's have DRC v2.5, vs. v1.1(?) for the A2000. Also an extra HDMI input. Not necessarily worth the extra dough in my opinion. I believe PS3 games can be up to 1080p, but there is no mandated resolution like with the xbox360.
Edit:
Here are the upgrades from the 60 A2000 to the XBR2:
"Digital Cable Ready" tuner with CableCARD slot
? TV Guide On Screen
? DRC MultiFunction v2.5 video processing with 1080p upconversion
? 2-tuner Picture-in-Picture
? spare projection lamp included
? 3 HDMI inputs
I believe the optics are the same for both sets as well as the variable iris feature.

So, I got an xbox 360 for Christmas. I wanted to get the VGA cable for 1080p games, movies, etc. (you all know the deal). However, on page 60 of the A2000 owner's manual there is a "PC signal reference chart" and the highest resolution listed is 1360x768. Does anyone have a computer or xbox 360 using this input that can verify if the input actually supports 1920x1080? Thanks in advance.

I think the A2000 Series SXRD's don't support 1920 x 1080 thru VGA but I'm sure the XBR2 does. A lot of people have had issues with some Sony 1080p sets and the 360's 1080p signal:

There's been less compatibility issues with the Samsung 1080p sets especially the HL-S Series thru both component and VGA. I read somewhere that MS did it's testing of the 360's 1080p implementation on Samsung HDTV's.

Looks like 1080p via VGA is a no-go for me! *&%$!

I don't think Sony will be very helpful when the problem involves connecting a Microsoft product to one of its HDTV's. :)

Yeah I have a KDS-55A2000. Very Happy w/ it so far. Have had it now for about 3 months.
I would've liked to get the new XBR2, but could not afford the extra $1000. Also it only comes right now in 50,60 & 70 inches. 60 inch would be too big for my family room.
Anybody know who or where they sell the new Samsungs w/ the LED instead of the color wheel ? I wanted to see what it looks like.
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2Ghz
16GB memory
1TB HDD
AnyDVD & CloneDVD
