Pulled the trigger on a 77" G4; the waiting game begins

I have a 64" Samsung Plasma that I love. A few weeks ago it would occasionally turn off and I would have to pull the power to get it to restart. I was hoping it'd hold out until the G5 was available but starting yesterday, it doesn't stay on for more than 2 minutes at a time...

I checked the LG members store and the G4 77" was on sale for $3500, including an (allegedly) $600 sound bar and free shipping/installation. I debated buying from Costco ($4000) and hoping they put it on sale later to do a price match, but I decided to roll the dice on the LG store.

Now the hard part is using a tiny 42" Panasonic plasma for the next 10 days or so.... it's sooo tiny...!
