Plans for the Black Screen to Hit Australian Stores

After being disappointed that Sony's DVP-CX995V a 400 Disc SACD/DVD Player wouldn't be coming to Australia because our market is too small. (Apparently the UK market is also too small as the player is only made with support of NTSC discs, so even if you were to import one you'd have to get rid of your PAL dvd collection)
So it was with hesitation that I emailed Sony Central asking if the Sony HCS-W90 was due to be shipped here.

To my surprise the screen is expected to hit Australian shores around christmas, no word on the expected cost (although the screen does cost USD$2000 in the US). The screen is such a big innovation in the world of projectors because it allows the screen to be used in environments with high ambient light. This brings the projector and screen combination in direct competition with the conventional flat screen market, making the more likely to succeed in duel purpose rooms.
