For what it's worth..I got the 54" Viera G10 about 3 weeks ago and the picture is unbelievably good.It looks like the Amazon offer is only good on their 42" and 46" models.Amazon's price is a little higher than some of the other on line sites,but with the TiVo thrown in for free,this is a good deal

I know obv this doesn't apply to the free tivo, but how does the S series compare? G series just have more bells and whistles? I ask because Sears is having what appears to be a pretty decent sale on these ($1099.99), especially if you throw in some bing cashback. Only problem is none of the local sears have them in stock, but I have a buddy that works at Sears down in long island and he's pretty confident he could order one and have it sent up to the albany store.

The G series and S series are virtually the same with the following exceptions
1.LAN port on the G,not on the S
2.THX mode on the G,not on the S.I find the THX mode on the G too dark and don't use it
3.PC input on the G,not on the S
4.A few other very minor things
There is about a $200 difference between the 2 series
