Sonys new XBR bravia sets are due ou any day now...however i am unable to tell what the difference between these two are for the $300 price difference.

is there somethign im missing? The only thing i cud think of was the bezel color differences in the XBR2. And with the XBR 3 - you cannot get anything other than the black piano finish. And becasue of the piano gloss finish its just more expensive. Is this it?

Also, is the new XBR 2 and XBR 3 going to house the same and better features as XBR 1, PLUS more? I say that becasue the new SXRD rear projection line has DRC V1 ...the current SXRD model has v2 on it. (thats one reason why the current SXRD's original price was a lot higher than the new SXRD's starting price)

thanks

The XBR2 sells fpor $3499 and comes in silver. If you want to change the color, the colored bezels cost $299, which makes the XBR2 the same price as the XBR3. The electronics are the same for both sets. If you like a silver tv go with the XBR2 and save $300!

The XBR3 also has an 18 month Sony warranty vs 12 months for the XBR2. I've had a 46" XBR2 for two weeks and it is incredible!

The XBR2 has 1080p vs. the 768p like the lesser version and has less "graininess".
Although you often don't view that close, you are getting a better picture, nonetheless.
