sony 400 changer $600 versus $1800 I looked at both of these mega changers and other than an extened warranty, I can't see how they can justify the price on the $1800 unit. Any ideas??

Really the only difference are as such: The more expensive unit has 7.1 analog outputs, a RS-232 connection and like you stated, the extended warranty... I also think it might have another level of picture enhancement, but i am not sure about that.

You have my complete sympathy! I bought my 350 in September of 2008 for $350. A month later the s360 hit the market at a bit over $200. As far as a difference other than price, the 350 weighs in at almost twice what the 360 does, Per Amazon, 7 vs. 12 pounds. As an old school audiophile I still tend to put my trust in heavier equipment (I know its silly but old habits die hard). The 350 has provided excellent service but my 2 year old Oppo DV 981HD DVD player provides superior up scaling. If you can still return your 350 I'd suggest you consider kicking in 100 bucks more and order the Oppo BDP 83. I've spent too much on 2 players in the past two years to even consider that and I might not even see or hear the difference. Bottom Line: You have a good reliable machine but like me, paid too much for it!

That's amazing! I was just about to purchase this unit and now it's gone? So we have to wait for half a year to buy the new model? Seems like Sony would rather be making money by selling this model while the new ones are being developed.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I still need to know why the price is more for the 880. May be, someone else can answer that.

I purchased an extended warranty on my Sony BD player. It is 18 months old and has completely died. I purchased it at Circuit City which is of course now defunct. I have been trying to deal with the warranty company that took over from CC - and it has been a nightmare.I will never purchase an extended warranty on a BD player again!

Hi, Mr. Jeffers Hi Mr. Jeffers A repair shop in your area certified to work on sony products should be acceptable. You may also want to consider comtacting Sonys customer service and they can possibly have you send it in for repair or offer you a list of certifed technicians in your area. From my personal experience the cost tonfix it would be more than to purchase another one as most techs charge a minimum of 35- 50 dollars per hour plus parts. Good Luck and Im sorry to hear that yours is being difficult. If I can be of further assistance please let me know.

I saw the gold one online, so I called a Sony number 877 and they said, no you can not buy the gold on in the US, they said US customers don't want gold, they want blue instead. This is very disappointing. You will have to look to eBay or buying it overseas in which it will cost more.

The price is up and down all the time, on Amazon. Got mine at Radio Shack for $229.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

Hi, You have been very informative. Which would you recommend: the p4400 or the p4460? Or is another product (under $25.00) better? I live in a delivery cost area, and am fairly careful already, so my likely savings will be less than $100 per year -- so I want to keep the cost of this item low.

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices.Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry.(BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H; for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

I suppose it will be. I don't understand the rush to a new model so quickly, especially in these economic times. Mine was on sale at Sony at the time I got it with no interest for three years, which seemed like a good deal at the time, so it'll be interesting to see what a new model will cost, if they have one. Yes, a price drop does hurt!

The 46xbr6 was selling for $2699.95 Canadian (approx. $2,125 USD) at a Futureshop store (owned by BestBuy) and all other stores in Montreal, Canada, including the Sony store. After a lot of back-and-forth with the salesperson, I was able to pick it up for $1,999.95 Canadian (approx. $1,570 USD) plus sales tax, and it includes free delivery as well. There was one catch, though: I had to purchase a 4-year service plan for $350 Cdn. (approx. $275 USD). Though I am not a big fan of service plans, for this tv I thought it was worth the peace of mind. If one pixel is lost, the tv is going back for a replacement!

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 have the same question....I bought mine 2 years ago for $51...now it's $400+? I wanted to buy one for a friend who loved mine...I was willing to spend up to $75 for a gift..but $400? No way

No, the mega changer needs to be connected to an amplifier. Mine is connected to my Sony Tuner. If you have a problem, phone me at 386-299-7280.

Regarding the discontinuing of the 920, perhaps Sony is doing it so "quietly" is because it was too GOOD of a receiver for the price! The 920 was a GREAT value, as it offered a LOT of HD features for the $600 (or lower) cost. True HD, DTS-MA, GUI, FOUR hdmi inputs, etc. I returned my newly-purchased 520 unit the moment I saw the 920 go on sale for $450. I would wager than any comparable unit will be more expensive in the future.
