As an update, the Mitsubishi UK Product Manager for these projectors did indeed call me back, he's a very nice chap. I have to say that, as he might be reading these threads
Seriously though, he was a very nice bloke, and we had a chat about these pjs and Mitsubishi's plans for distribution.
Story is that Mitusbishi are indeed still deciding what channels through which to sell these, and they can't give a list of retailers who will stock them yet. They're aiming for a release at the beginning of November, so you all don't have much longer to wait.
The projectors are in the country already, sitting in the warehouse waiting to go out to dealers, when they decide who those dealers should be, so they should move quickly when they're ready.
As I understand it, Mitsubishi have four main distributors, who then supply the retailers, I may have that wrong though.
Anyway, kudos to Mitsubishi for talking to the little guy on the street, and thanks to Carlton for giving me a bell. I look forward to hearing from him again. *hint*
I was supposed to be doing a presentation for a Photographic Society this evening, and need a PJ to do it with. They're looking at buying their own PJ and I'm trying to persuade them to go with a Mitsubishi 5500, so I want to impress them with a decent PJ. I've managed to get them to reschedule the presentation to 4th Nov, so I'm hoping I can get my hands on a 6500 in time
