If you’re planning a Super Bowl party, you should really have a state-of-the-art HDTV. To help, Sears and Best Buy are having some pre-Super Bowl promotions.

Starting with Best Buy, consumers can select from a small pool of LCD and plasma HDTVs, ranging from a 32-inch Panasonic Viera 720p LCD panel for $299.99 (down from $449.99) to a 60-inch 1080p panel from Sharp for $1,199.99 (down from $1,699.99).

Sears has a much larger selection of displays to choose from, and even all Sony TVs are on sale. Everything priced $799 and up guarantees free shipping.  Some of the best deals from this retailer include the 40-inch Sony 1080p LCD HDTV (pictured above) for $584.99, the Panasonic Viera 50-inch Class GT25 Series Full HD 3D 1080p Plasma TV for $1,239.99 (down from $2,000) and the 58-inch Samsung Touch of Color PN58C550G1FXZA 1080p Plasma HDTV for $1,299.99.

Best Buy’s sales are good through at least tomorrow (January 22), while Sears will keep the bargain prices in place until Saturday, January 29.

So true. She could get sued for using that name

also lets point out that watching the "Big Game" on a TV 50" or larger means that you have to supply all the food.

Having a stipulation that "eveyone brings one food item to the party" constitutes "charging admission", and could very well have the NFL lawyers down on you in no time.

These are pre-Big Game promotions. Whatever the Big Game means to you. You should only tie the phrase "Super Bowl" to its official (paid) products! grin
