I'm buying a set of BL5s and is considering a BV7-40 (or 32).
Should I wait and buy this?
What is the future of the model? Any news on upgrade?

Updated 40" model with full HD panel and improved chassis (based on BS3) should come out soon for the US and Japan per financial report, and later for Europe as well it seems. For the 32' this is not yet annouced when there will be an upgrade.
The 40" I probably wouldn't buy at this point unless I get a very good deal, the 32" I am not sure with.
A BV7 needs a HD DVD/Blu-Ray player before I would buy it.
I think this is not a very good moment to buy a BV7, neither the 32", nor the 40". Both need to get some upgrades, especially concerning connections. As said before, the 40" pannel will be FULL HD in some months time, therefore you should wait, or get a BV9...
How bout the BV4?
Any news on that one?
The BV4 is sold as a promotional package containing BL7.2, BS3 and BV4 50" with a 4000$ discount in the US. This indicates that the full HD panel is right around the corner and that they want to get rid of the existing iventory.
Updates should be around the corner, I do think though that this might be a very good deal.

Any similar discount in Europe?
That I dont know. But I would ask refering to this

I noticed that several shops started to display(taking pre-orders)
but all the catalogue spec, including official ones are all US MODEL
it says DVD region 1, Digital Tuner etc... ALL NOT INCLUDED for Japan.
Plus price is about 30% above European price, unlike most other items which are world-price(very similar price anywhere in the world)
#I asked them if I can have that, or something different....
Only analogue tuner(good for only few years, no promise of upgrading)
No recorder(HDR2/DVD2)
No 32"
Now I'm not sure if I shall just purchase or wait for something else.
full hd is overrated , 720p still looks amazing all the way up to 40 inches
you need 46+ before you can see the difference in 1080 imo
maybe bno have a point after all
