Why is the cost $20 more than if I buy it directly from Fitbit? I checked AmazonPrime because I wanted to get the cable sooner, but not for $20 more!

This is a catch 22 for the FitBit products. Honestly, call FitBit directly and if they think it is under warranty (which is very liberal I might add) they might replace the whole unit for free.

I see what you mean ... the default price was higher because Amazon stock is out. It says: "Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item." So I suppose you can try that and cancel the order if you aren't happy with the response (or lack of response). It sounds like a pretty awesome toy I must say.

I just looked it up again and Insee that it's $28 if you have a Prime membership and $59 if you don't. From what I see, that's the same for either a disc or download. I prefer the download for two reasons: 1. The software key and download link are stored for you through Amazon and 2. It's easier to install across multiple platforms. Again, I am seeing the difference in the price if you are a Prime member or not, I don't see anywhere else where it's different. I might not be looking at the same thing you are....

Same here... Amazon has been out of stock for weeks so the other, third-party vendors prices are crazy. I found it at Walmart for $5.95 for a box of four. So that $1.48ea vs. $1.41ea @ $17/box.

I SAW IT CHEAPER ALSO. I WOULD LIKE TO BUY FROM AMAZON BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A RETURN POLICY IF DEFECTIVE. THATS MY ONLY WORRY. OTHER ONLINE SELLERS HAVE IT CHEAPER BUT NO RETURN POLICY IF DEFECTIVE.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

I totally agree with you Ibrahim... I thought about doing the same exact thing, however, just TRY to order it at bestbuy.com and you will see that the total is a lot higher. Ugh, I don't want to pay extra for tax and shipping! This is ridiculous!

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony

I checked out on Amazon, and there're at least 3 different listings - they should all be the same, so the price is whether it's from Amazon directly, fulfilled by Amazon or an external vendor. I'd just go with the lowest cost one, through Amazon.

Wow, glad you mentioned this, I'm thinking of buying this. It's now $85. Amazon's pricing for many items does fluctuate, and sometimes quite a bit. It will likely decrease again, not sure when though. You just have to check for it as often as you can until you catch it.

I know what you mean. They upped the price on me when it was in my cart by nearly $200, so I went with another vendor.Amazon's current $2,499 price is the same as Circuit City, which isn't very competitive. There are several places online that sell it cheaper at the moment with free shipping. Just go to nextag or pricegrabber to find the best deal.

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

None. They are the same unit. The extra costs at Amazon is due to their referral fees.

amazon is a LARGE internet retailer. it would almost always be able to undercut what bricks-and-mortar stores would be charging for virtually anything. I initially bought the unit at a norcal compusa for about $650 after taxes. then i googled this thingy for some technical questions, and out pops the amazon link. got from amazon for around $425. returned the compusa merchandise the next day.

I saw these at costco yesterday, they sell for $15.39. I got a couple of them here from amazon with prime and mom discounts for $11.99 each. But as to why they are so extraordinarily expensive here, well just look at how much commission amazon takes to sell here. Fulfillment by amazon is quite pricey too.

I've seen the price at 19.99 here too. I think Amazon was selling it for the MSRP, but other sellers are trying to take advantage of the current high demand. If I buy it here, I'm going to wait until the price goes back down again.

Same thing here. They were even cheaper than $120 not so long ago. I end up buying them from another on-line retailer for ~$114.00 No point in paying the current price when we know what these things really cost.
