Not really - they've been around for at least 3 years- You can get them now for about $1500 and the 60' for $2100 - half price of plasma
When I was shopping I did find Sony TV's were rarity at Best Buy in my area but they were everywhere else.

Boom, those LCDs you're seeing are LCD projection. NDub is talking about straight LCD, which is very similar to plasma in technology (and which some say will provide a better large-screen picture when it becomes more common).
And, for the record, plasma is not as expensive as it used to be, not really prone to image burn when dealing with regular TV viewing and very much worth it.
