I went to the final page after you review your order. All my payment information had already been entered. The next step was to place the order which was over $4oo more than it was suppose to be. I emailed amazon and their response was to go ahead and place the order then I could contact them and they would apply the promotion. I didn't want the inconvience of trying to do that so I didn't order it. I checked back a few days later & the promotion had changed. I wonder why!

Did you go all the way to the final review page, just authorizing the order? That is where the promotional payments were applied to my order. They don't show up on the initial page before you put in your payment information...

MAKE SURE THAT AMAZON is the seller for all the products. Unfortunately even if you follow Amazon's links it's easy to end up with the right product in your cart but from the wrong merchant. When I bought mine, the promotion gave the BD player, glasses and Avatar for free. It changed to $400 until the end of December, but the prices of all the components dropped so it was not much different.

D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback. I more than appreciate it!I decided not to purchase the UN55B8500. I agree, 3D is worth waiting for. I saw the demo at Best Buy, and I must say, I'm pretty impressed. One a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), I would put the 3D experience in at about a 7 or an 8. I wasn't completely blown away, however, I was impressed enough to wait until the UN55C8000. Plus, with the free 3D Starter Kit with the purchase of the 3D TV and the 3D Blu-Ray player, I really think it makes sense to go with the 3D option. The sales guy at Best Buy said the free 3D Starter Kit promotion starts on 3/21/2010, and that the UN55C8000 should be available in early April.Thanks! D. Reese,Thanks for the feedback.

I have firmware 1.52 and I still saw the adds. Could not believe Panasonic did that. But obviously some people are immune to it and do not notice them, so for some people, watching adds on the blue-ray player you just bought may be ok. (this does require a network connection, so perhaps some people are not using the online content)

i"ve been planning on getting this one but was just waiting for another coupon. As far as my research goes, there is nothing wrong with this TV. The buzzing sound some people report doesn't seem to be a major issue or at least it's a fixable one. I think what's going on is Amazon screwed up something and enough people complained so they pulled it until they can get to the bottom of the matter. I tried contacting Amazon to ask if there was a chance it might be available before the coupon expires today, and all I got was the same vague "Item under review" reply. The way I see it, they should extend the coupon for this one till the TV is available again since it's because of their screw-up that we can't buy it.

I cannot understand why Amazon itself does not sell this projector. They do sell the "competition" (for example, the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8500 UB LCD Projector (V11H337020) [although not at the present time due to some difficulties] and the Epson Powerlite V11H336120 Home Cinema 8100 1080p LCD Home Theater Projector); why not this Panasonic too?If they sold it, Panasonic would sell many more of these projectors as Amazon has demonstrated that it is a trustworthy and consumer-friendly company.That said, if anyone wants one, they could hardly find a better dealer than Visual Apex, from whom I bought mine. They are as good a company as Amazon - and, as you know, that's saying something! I cannot understand why Amazon itself does not sell this projector.

They should honor whatever price you purchased it for during the pre-sell. They will not charge you until the unit ships. Latest rumors put this TV live this week....but....who knows. It will be worth the wait though.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

You'll find another Amazon discussion thread about the BD35 being discontinued, which probably has something to do with it too. The 55 is now Panasonic's only (or main, at least) Blu-ray player on the market, until they release three new models in March or April.I am bummed about this new pricing too. I ordered a 55 on Christmas Day from an online vendor for $305, then ten days later they cancelled my order, saying they were "oversold" and suddenly everyone is selling it for $399 or more. I'm gonna wait...

Every year it seems like tvs are put on sale for a huge discount right after the super bowl ends. Then new TVs comes out a couple months later. If you wait and get the new model when it first comes out, you will be paying the $3500+ for it. TVs in Feb are heavily discounted to get rid of them before the new ones come out. It is possible the price will drop a little more before, also possible they will sell out of them, or raise the price if inventory gets low. As for better, every year they come out with better and most of the time it isn't even noticeable. Like when they came out with 240hz tvs, which had 0 noticeable difference. The 3D might get a little better, but truth is that in 4/5 years or less they will have them that don't require glasses. When that happens, I'm sure we all will need new movies, players, etc. I'm personally not a big 3D fan anyway. Avatar is the only movie it actually helped the movie.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

There's a promotion going for the LN46B750. Amazon is currently selling it for $1,999.99. Input coupon code, "SAMTV300" and it drops to $1,699.99. I'm pissed because yesterday I picked up an LN46A860 from Crutchfield for $1,579.99 with 1% FW cashback. It already shipped, bleh.Specs wise, seems like everything is the same except that the LN46B750 introduces 240Hz motion and Internet@TV (Yahoo!, YouTube, Flickr, etc.). Also, the LN46B750 has a charcoal ToC while the LN46A860 has a dark blue one. Moreover, I haven't come across a review that details the performance of the 240Hz motion.

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with a different TV. Amazon would not give me the price I originally ordered it at. Bought it and it dropped back to the original price this week. Amazon price changing has gotten out of hand. Instead of feeling good about the purchase, I feel as though I was duped. It also took six days from the date of order to remove the hold from my amazon credit card. I ended up using my debit card.

I used "SquareTrade" online and got 4 years for $69.99 (look for coupon deals). I purchased the TV on Amazon for $648.99 in December and got free shipping. At that time Best Buy was about $50.00 higher, but the prices were fluctuating quite a bit. I love Best Buy, but I could not pass up the $50.00 savings. This is my second Panasonic plasma. My first one is a 42" and I have not had any problems with it (3 years old). Here is a tip: play with the custom picture settings and you can get an awsome picture with rich deep colors that you will never see on an LCD set. There are a few reviews that discuss picture settings for this set. I was not that impressed with the default setting, but with a few tweaks...WOW!

And now it simply states that they are out of stock, with no estimated time of delivery.I honestly wouldn't have bought my Panasonic TV if the combination deal on the set AND the glasses wasn't so good. If I'm never to recieve the glasses, are they going to cut the total price to reflect that?

I was originally going to purchase this set at the grand opening of Ultimate Electronics on Black Friday to replace on old Panasonic plasma (I accidentally broke the HDMI connection) , so I already know how great the Panasonic plasma is (my mom's LCD doesn't look half as good, IMHO). I knew that they were cheaper at Sear. But the salesuy wouldn't give me a better offer, so he lost a sale, and I ended up purchasing this set for $649.99 (My old Panasonic 37" plasma was originally purchase for $3,000 at Circuit City). Glad I got up early with the crowds on Black Friday, because this set has gone up on price since then.

I purchased the HD-A3 on December 28th with the 3 bonus DVDs promotion at $179. I tried calling Amazon and they told me that I would not get the price guarantee because the 3 free HD-DVD promotion is no longer offered and that is what is reflected in the current price. I told the customer service rep. that other people seem to be getting this price guarantee even though they appear to have purchased the same offer (i.e. S.
