Everyone raised their prices on this TV today, because the superbowl is over. I heard the the manufacturers offer some cash back to sellers if the sell during special time periods. Good this ednashworld still has it for $1129 after shipping.

One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce. Samsung probably aren't manufacturing this 2009 model any longer, and it was the most highly rated 50 inch Samsung plasma TV (most sites rated it more highly than the PN50B860) so the demand for it may be greater than for their other models. I ordered it Sunday, deciding that Amazon would most likely lower its price if its competitors did, and Amazon will refund the difference between what you paid and a lower price if you are within 30 days of the price reduction.' I figured any post super bowl reduction would come within that time period. One possibility is that supplies of this model are getting scarce.

You'll probably get a better deal after the Superbowl...if football is not your thing I would wait. I just ordered this T.V. last week for 1,139 because I want it for the Superbowl and am willing to spend a little extra to have it for the game. Skol Vikings!!

C. Cole - Did you get it at the 1139 price? I believe Amazon has raised its price now. Shows a MAP of 1439.

I found this tv at the electro world.com for 780.00 dollars new with 20.00 dollars shipping. yeah right does anyone know of this company or website? would amazon match this price to keep me as a customer?

Thanks for the suggestion. I can afford to until after superbowl.BTW, I noticed that Amazon got rid of the MAP price for this TV today. The price is 1139 officially on the site. No adding to the cart business.

so we may need to just wait around for the price drop again? Seems like they did this in Nov 09... i want this TV before the Superbowl.. oh well..amazon may have lost my sale at this point.. Come on! $200 bucks!! just drop the price so you guys can sell more! Volume sales! Dont be like Bestbuy and be a sell out

Yes, I realize this... I saw the price back in mid July as well but didn't order it then because I wasn't ready yet. I'm wondering if the price will every go back down to that... and my guess is that it's not likely... I see it from $1900ish area. I think it's too popular of a TV for them to drop the price now.

You may have just swayed my decision. I want to love this TV and I won't be buying for a week or so still. I can only hope for the $1479 price tag soon.I've heard sometimes the buzzing doesn't start for a week or so. I hope we each don't have to hear it though.

the one i bought at Best Buy was a 530! is that a lesser or is it more? i paid $800 out the door. two weeks ago, i can still take it back and save $. BTW, i LOVE this TV. I feel like i could jump right in and join the parade!

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.

Just call customer service. The price has dropped twice since I purchased this television earlier this month, and both times they credited my account when I called. They have a 30 day price guarantee, so if the price drops again within 30 days, be sure to call and get your additional refund!

I was targeting this TV before the Super Bowl, but now I might need to wait. Is it possible for this model to dip below $1600, particularly with new TVs hitting the market soon?

Contact Amazon for official policies on pre-sell prices. Vizio's website states that this TV is slated to go on sell this month. I contacted them a couple of days ago and they told me that they shipped a bunch to Amazon and other Vizio retailers as well. It is now up to Amazon to launch these things. I am cautiously optimistic that this thing will be in my living room within two weeks. (As long as I have it before football season anyways.)

Thank you C., have settled on the xbr 9 set, same price as xbr 6 with a few more features and more compact size. Assume price will rise on Monday after the 4th. Only hang up now is to buy something this expensive thru Amazon or locally thru Best Buy and pay tax. Also will probably buy extended warranty. Have read the Best Buy "terms and conditions" and seems complete for $300. Amazon has the less expensive (and one year less coverage) Square Trade now at $100, but cannot find specific language regarding HDTV. Have read a lot of glowing stories about Square Trade service, but no one who actually replaced a set? Any thoughts here?!

Almost every retailer raised their price for this TV after the Thanksgiving promotion. I thought everyone knew that retailers traditionally offered specials to spur sales after Thanksgiving. I got mine at $879 shipped through Amazon. Keep in mind that Amazon offered this TV at $879 for a week after Thanksgiving.

I'm still holding out hope that the price of this TV will drop again before Christmas. I'm not paying $1800+ for this TV. Supposedly, Fry's was selling it for $1499+tax ($1623 total in Texas) a couple weeks ago.

Costco, Baby! $1649. Rolled it home today, and if you check your calendar, that's OCTOBER 5th! And did I mention the 3-year warranty that accompanied it? The price comes down at Christmas or after the first of the year? And it will? REBATE CITY!!!! HOOK ME UP!! AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, CUT ME A SLICE O' THAT RAIDERS / CHARGERS GAME SUNDAY ON THE SPANKIN' NEW 55-INCH LCD-LED VIZIO MONSTER I JUST MADE LOVE TO IN MY LIVING ROOM!!!!

TV hopeful, obviously you will buy what you think is best and Costco has the new Vizio 55 inch for $1800 but I am floored by the picture on this Samsung. I was going to buy a vizio but decided to hold out for this Samsung once they released their new 55 inch LED LCD and figured I'd get a good price which after a lot of work I did, $1620.00..good luck in your purchase which ever one you decide to get
