When is Amazon going to get this TV in stock so I can taker advantage of the bundle? It has been days...I may just bring my business over to US Appliance
1032872
how are they offering this bundle at that price 2,309.00 when it shows its "Currently unavailable"http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId;=1000622431

No idea. I talked with customer support and they said they didn't know when or if it would be back in stock.It would suck not getting the deal, but after the deal deadline, I'd still be happy with just the TV from another seller. I'd just keep checking back every day.

yes, When I called and talked to Amazon support (for the price match) , I did not notice that it was not available from Amazon or notAt this time I was not ready to purchase the set. I am not sure why he quoted me the price without checking whether the item was in stock.Later in the evening, when I decided to purchase, I was told by Amazon customer support that the set (from Amazon) was out of stock.The only ones that are available are from their "partners"; which is actually cheaper; but then you do not qualify for the ps3 and the 3d bundlesSorry for confusing everybody. I guess next time I when they stock up, I have to make sure the one from "Amazon" is available so my purchase may qualify for the ps3+3d bundles yes, When I called and talked to Amazon support (for the price match) , I did not notice that it was not available from Amazon or notAt this time I was not ready to purchase the set.

I just got my bundle from US appliance for $2289 (they had a $10 off coupon) but it looks like amazon dropped theirs as well..probably thanks to your call! Would rather get from amazon but hopefully US will do a good job, will post a review once I receive the goods. Thank you!

I was a newbie to Amazon. I kept checking their site a couple times a day the week of 12-29-08. I bought my Z on 1-31-08 for $1,549.00 free shipping and no taxes. Same TV @ Best Buy was $2,399+ tax.PS: I bought the TV from Amazon and not one of the Market Place vendors.

Yeah, I too started looking at the TV after seeing the consumer reports review. Was going to buy it at $900, but after seeing Amazon drop the listed price by $100 and increase their price by $60 I've decided to wait. (I wonder if the consumer reports review led to an increase in demand).Since then I've seen a review or two that listed the SD quality as the TV's greatest weakness, so I'm trying to figure out what the actual consensus is.

Price went from $2199.98 to $2149.98 tonight... bought the TV yesterday... just emailed Amazon to get the 30 day price guarantee for the TV....just sent in info for this site as well which will update me daily on any price changes on the TVhttp://www.frozenwarrior.com/~pricewatch/ordered it yesterday and its already at the distribution center (CEVA) awaiting a phone call to setup delivery.... hoping to have this by thursday to watch some Football this weekend!

The price seems to be the lowest when there are only a few(1-4)models left. I bought mine last week when Amazon only had three left and the price was about $80 dollars less than today. I have noticed this before that when they get a new shipment the price is $2000 and when only a few left it goes down to $1800.

Looks to me like Amazon and Sony have it listed for the same price - $1,199.99

It's always like this on amazon - I guess these TVs are like commodities to be traded - I am sure they are looking at prices every minute on an expensive set like this and will price to meet or slightly beat the competition. The good news is that prices keep coming down over the long haul.

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

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.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

Thanks for the info Kevin, just got back from a huge dvd store here and I noticed a lot of Blu Ray discs marked 'all regions' (1,2,3) on the back of them so Sony may be trying relax restrictions for now to corner the market here. I also just found out that's it's pointless getting a blu-ray and/or hd-dvd player as my 3 year old 43" Pioneer Plasma with external hig def set top box can only output 1024 X 768 pixels max, so I wouldn't visibly see blu-rays or hd-dvd's 1080p potential...think I'm better off just getting a good upscaling dvd player & a good hdmi cable. Except for PS2, dvd players/recorders sold here are region free out of the box anyway. Will look out for Oppo but don't think it's sold here.

It's comparable in price with most other retailers -- +/- $30. If you have the option, like I did, to get it locally so it doesn't have to be shipped, that would be the best way to go. But, yes, price-wise Amazon is in the same range as other suppliers of this TV.

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 $1,999.99When 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.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

If you say so. Part of it is supply and demand, but part of it is that amazon is willing to source to rip-off stores who price-gouge the customer. You can currently get the BD35K from sears for $250+shipping or $250+tax in stores. Don't support the price gougers and do a little price research before buying. ;)

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.
