Kevin over at HD Beat just had to point out that Best Buy is offering the 60″ SXRD for the price of the 50″. Circuit City is following suit.

So if you want a really excellent rear projection HDTV from Sony, and want to save a thousand bucks, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Also, HD Beat had a reader give a review of the 50″ set, and he likes it very much: “All in all, the Sony SXRD 50 (it also comes in a 60 inch screen) is an awesome HDTV with a large range of features and high quality screen. I might just keep it.”
