Website Legitimacy

Hey guys, as some people know I recently made a thread in the 'General Gaming' section of the forum reguaring HDTV's. Well I have now found a Sharp Aquos LC42XD1E 42" FULL HDTV (1080p) for £600!!

The only thing is that it is from an unknown website, so I was wondering if it is 100% legit. I mean I REALLY want to buy it, but I am not 100% sure. Does anyone know how to tell if it is legit, or does anyone else think it will be legit?
Any help would be appriciated, I got my PS3 on launch day and currently have a standard TV with a maximum resolution of 576i, so I am clearly not making the most out of my PS3's visual capability. This is the website:

Plasma Solution

Cheers

Farshad, do you remember what was going on with the onlineshop Otto?
I've ordered a LCD TVthere for 100 euro's (was 1000 euro's originally, but a mistake was made and so thousands of people ordered such TV, leading this to court).

hahah. good luck!

There are plenty of explanations. On Amazon, they have lots of deals that include signing up for some program, membership, or credit card. Sometimes it s just a simple mistake (My bro got mgs3 for 5 dollars while it was brand new). Sometimes these can actually be lucrative investments, but usually it is much easier to go to a local electronics store frequently and wait for a deal. Ask a worker for the lowest price he/she could give out of box on one of the display tvs.

IMO, it looks 100% legit but still, contact the admin of the site, Plasma solution, for like selling records etc etc

Cheers for the help guys.

I emailed them and got a reply and they sounded very professional, so I think i'll go ahead and buy the TV in a week or so
