With a little encouragement, electronics retailers will typically knock 10% off big-ticket items in order to make a sale. In an unusual move, <A HREF="http://www.zenith.com">Zenith</A> has decided to prime the sales pump from the top by reducing the suggested list price on its new 60" plasma display panel (PDP)—from $27,999 to $24,999 as of August 16.

Entry-level single-disc DVD players have hovered around the $200 price point for more than a year now. Carousel-type CD changers can be found below $150, but DVD changers are generally well above $500. Zenith intends to change all that with its new $350 DVC2550, a carousel DVD changer with DTS and Dolby Digital capabilities.
