Amazon should lower the price to match costco especially since costco extends the manufacturer warranty for free.

yea but at least dell won't take 3-4 weeks just to ship it out... i'd rather take my chances with them

Went to Costco this morning and all they had was the XVT472SV in stock. They had the SV472XVT on the website this morning but it is now gone.

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

the one being sold at costco is a XVT472SV the model without VIA (Vizio Internet Apps). This model is the SV472XVT which includes VIA and wifi + bluetooth remote. Ofcourse I could be wrong as the XVT472SV is showing up as $1349 on Cosctco's website. I do not see any mention of the SV472XVT on the Coscto website.

Did you find yours online? I found a "save 15% on select electronics and accessories" on the back of a catalog, but I get a "We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit." error. Bummer! Now if only Amazon would listen up and drop the price they would have my money already!

I ended up ordering mine through Dell for $1382 shipped. You just have to find one of those pesky 15% off electronics and accessories coupons!

I purchased this TV in late July, 2011 from Amazon for $598.00 + free shipping and free returns. I love this unit as well as the remote with pull-out keyboard but I am puzzled about why the price has almost doubled. At $1,000.00 this set is overpriced, IMO.

I actually just picked this TV up from Fred Meyer in Portland for $999.99. A deal they had since it's being discontinued. If you are in the Pacific Northwest give them a try.

Frank,The costco store has the Sony Bravia KDL-46VL150 for $799. though February 20, 2010. I bought one this week. I don't think you can go wrong on this one. I hope the problems the owners are having with the kdl-46V5100 are fixed on this model.

I saw this TV at Sears on clearnace. The tag had $3200 and on clearance for $2800. I got mine at Best Buy on clearance for $1487.50 That's a big difference and it has in fact increased in price which does not make any sense to me since you can get a 55" LED for close to that price. I agree that below 2K seems more reasonable for this.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

It seems like the discount is on and off every other week for this TV at least. And the recent trend has been that it is getting less and less. However they also cut the price of the TV a ltitle bit a few weeks back. Though I am in the same position basically as the OP. I am waiting for it to fall around 1050-1100 all in then I am ready to snap it up.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

I bought the SONY KDL 46vl160 in the month of November, 2009 from Costco. The TV ran great through Feb 2014 - when it died on me suddenly, the TV LCD panel would not turn on but I can hear the sound. Sony Authorized Service Center Technician checked it and viola - the LCD panel is gone and I have to pay almost the price of the TV to get one (all of the $950 down the drain as warranty expired on the TV). My friend bought a Vizio during the same and he SOLD the TV in Jun 2014 - though I had the privilege of having a superior TV for 4 years - all my money is gone. Moral of the story please be careful when you want to spend your hard end dollars on the so called "BIG BRANDS". I bought the SONY KDL 46vl160 in the month of November, 2009 from Costco.

hot did you get that deal from US-Appliances? I am also tired of waiting for amazon to get this TV in stock. Oh well, I would rather get from Amazon. I will wait few more days and see what shall happen

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

Fry's has it for $1099 as of Sunday 2/8 (advertised for $1499 with $400 off instantly). Amazon is out of their mind selling this TV for $1,499.99!

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.
