Price drop? Since the new line is coming out do you guys think the price will drop even lower?

Only hitch regarding lower price for the 8500 is that the new line models built during the legal battles with Sharp are not backlight but edgelight, making the 8500 models that much more desireable, so greater demand may keep price from dropping much more.

You might think so, but probably not. Other items post (and sell) for very high prices if/when the product is unavailable. As for me, I'll wait for the $20 one to be re-stocked!

I was actually wondering the same thing, but since the price dropped below 50 bucks, I figure I'd give it a shot. I'll be sure to let you know.

Same here, I am watching the prices too, almost pulled the trigger on the $1249 price but got greedy I guess. I just found this other site a few days ago, not sure if anyones already posted this but go to http://priceprotectr.com/ and follow the directions and it'll email you when prices drop at retailers online sites including amazon. Not sure how accurate or timely it is but I'm trying it anyway since its free.

I think not as new models are out. It did hit your price point a couple of weeks ago at $1499.99.

I'm frustrated about this too. I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf? And Amazon will match it -- right after chickens grow lips, pigs fly, hell freezes over...well, you get the point. ;) No reason for Amazon to drop the price when it's holding its value at almost $400. Since the Transformer 2 is listed at $499 (32GB) and $599 (64GB) I also don't see a dent in the T1 price anytime soon. Even the Slider in the upper $400s hasn't hurt the T1. Maybe after BF...EDIT: Sorry, let me be clear...I'm definitely ROOTING for a BF sale or a price drop. I just don't see it happening for a while. -Matt Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf?

I was wondering why myself as well. I've seen them as low as $16. Yeah the price fluxuation is rediculous. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it is irritating.

Same here. I've been watching these prices for close to 7 months and the drop has not been significant enough for me to purchase yet. I will jump in when it drops below 2K.

I paid $2 plus $2 shipping. It is currently shown as $4. My guess is the price changes with popularity. I would keep watching and buy when it drops!

Hey Guys, I feel the same way. I've been watching the price (LN52A650) since April when it debuted and have noticed the price flucuations starting just a few months ago. I don't get it. You mention the popularity of the new Samsung line. I think it has really gained momentum the last month or two. A lot of the retailers, (e.g. Sears, BB, Circuit City, etc.) have been pushing the whole Samsung line in their advertisments. I'm just hoping the price resumes its price decline come early fall before the start of the X-mas shopping season. Just acquired my upgraded NAD A/V receiver and TV console for the Samsung, just need the TV now. Hey Guys, I feel the same way.

I was just about to buy it a few days ago, when the price shot up. But I HAVE seen prices go down after putting them in my cart, so I'm willing to wait for it to drop again. It's gone down once since then, although not to the price I originally saw it. At this point it's a crap shoot.

Yeah it's pretty sad. Old out dated model's price increasing. Seems like counter intuitive of how things work.

They are increasing the price. Last week, it is 1849 - 250 = $1599. They do not want the people know that. I think samsung try to make every dealer at the same price. So, the price will not drop it suppose to be. But, they forget that they may not be the best and we have a plenty brand to choose from. They are no iphone.

lol I love it, it's already down to $1529.98 on vanns.com from $1799.98 just yesterday. If it's still that price on Tuesday, consider it ordered.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.
