If you're looking to go full 1080p high definition, you need more than just an HDTV, you need a high quality high definition 1080p source, and that means Blu-ray. And Amazon is making it easier than ever to go full HD with instant rebates of $150 or $200 on Panasonic S1 and G10 series plasma HDTVs when purchased with a Panasonic Blu-ray Disc player or Blu-ray Home Theater in a Box system.
With this deal, you can get Panasonic's high-end G10 50-inch 1080p Plasma with VIERACast and THX picture certification, the TC-P50G10 for $1299.99 with free delivery. Add on the DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player for $199 and get an instant discount of $200. In other words, the player is free! The 42-inch G10 model is available for $969 delivered with the same offer. That means you can take home an advanced new 1080p flat panel plasma HDTV and a Blu-ray Disc player for under $1000 delivered!

The $200 discount applies to all models in the G10 line, from 42 inches to 54 inches. A $150 instant discount is available for models in the 1080p entry level S1 line.

More details on these eligible products:
Panasonic's G10 series plasma HDTVs feature the best contrast (black levels) to date of any Panasonic HDTV, along with increased power efficiency (up to 50% more efficient than previous models) courtesy of the newly enhanced neoPDP panel. The G10 series also features Panasonic's VIERA Cast IPTV capabilities. With VIERA Cast, you can view YouTube videos, Picasa online photo albums, stock and weather information and Amazon videos-on-demand all right on your HDTV with no PC required. The G10 series also features THX certification for the most accurate color decoding, contrast and video performance when watching movies. The S1 series is similar to the G10 line but without THX certification or VIERA Cast IPTV features and slightly lower contrast ratings.
The DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player also features VIERA Cast, on-board decoding of the latest surround sound formats, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, multi-channel PCM and more. In addition to outstanding Blu-ray disc performance, it converts existing DVDs to 1080p resolution, even offering 1080/24p (24 frames per second) output for standard DVDs - a feature you don't normally see in DVD and Blu-ray players. Its big brother the DMP-BD80 offers multi-channel analog outputs for use with older non-HDMI receivers, as well as higher quality analog audio outputs for audio purists.
And if you're in the market for a full surround sound package, Panasonic's new SC-BT200 and SC-BT300 Blu-ray HTiB (home theater in a box) systems are also included in this offer. The SCBT-200 is a particularly excellent deal, selling for under $470 for the integrated Blu-ray receiver with iPod dock and 7.1-channel speaker system. Add in the $200 instant rebate (with G10 models) and you're getting this feature-packed system for $269 (with purchase of a TV).
This offer ends July 11th or while current stock lasts.
