Harmon Kardon Go & Play Has anyone received the B version from Amazon?

I actually saw this as well, and then searched again in Amazon for the HK Go Play and found the actual 5BLK (Ver. B) model for $450, however Amazon doesn't have it in stock yet. I hope that price will drop (significantly) if I am to consider buying it. The cost-benefit margin has become very narrow now.Thanks *Sean Jost* for the great review and information you provided on the two Go + Play models. It helped a great deal.

My version B turns off automatically when not in use, is that what you are talking about? I think it waits like 5-10 minutes. I rather like this feature.You should contact Amazon directly about your replacement questions.

Tarek, I am glad I could help. You are correct in that Amazon has added the new version to their database. Doing an Amazon search for "HKGOPLAY5BLK" will pull it up. It is interesting to note that some places it is HKG<zero>PLAY5BLK but I believe Amazon has it correct with HKG<capital o>PLAY5BLK.Once Amazon gets them in stock I am sure they will correct the price to $350 or below since that is the actual MSRP.I can see how the cost-benefit margin might be slim if you don't have an i-anything, have you considered the Soundsticks II? The aesthetics are certainly better than the Z-2300. Either one is at a price point that might allow you to get the new GO + Play when you get an i-something and the price has come down.

The technical details indicate "Item model number: HKGOPLAYBLK" which means they are still shipping the old version. I think this was a recent addition to eliminate the confusion.As I said in my previous post, the model number for version B is HKGOPLAY5BLK.

Thanks much for the post. I'm on my second one now and might keep trying. I have nothing to loose.

I just received from Amazon what apparently is the older, A version, and am returning it because it's defective--it turns itself off for no reason. (Amazon's shoddy packaging job probably didn't help.)Will I get the the version B model (HKGOPLAY5BLK) if I ask them to replace it? Both versions are showing delivery in 2 to 4 weeks; do they still have stock of the older models?

Yes when I bought my onkyo 818 It was sold by amazon and shipped by amazon. It was not sold to meby Premier Audio. Thank you, that is a big concern. But Amazon has done well by me. I hope that Amazon is also concerned about we the buyer and back all products bought from them. thanks

Amazon sells fakes too! I bought mine directly from Amazon.com and they turned out to be fake by every indicator. Poor sound quality, shiny plastic, etc.

I've heard that it varies. Mine did not ship with the most up to date version.

Yes I have, I hit the source button and it shows up. Ive had it playing via Bluetooth.

Hello,I'm interested in purchasing this Pioneer soundbar; as of February 1st, is Amazon shipping units with the corrected, fully functioning Bluetooth? I'm afraid to make the purchase, and then find it's an older unit. Thanks.

The answer depends on who you order it from and who fulfills it. Mine was not despite selecting MP3Car as the seller. I later ordered it directly from MP3Car and got the genuine item.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

Update from Amazon, I emailed them earlier this morning. Their answer is that it's currently on "backorder", so theres no telling when or if they're even getting it.

No, I opted for my money back and bought a new blu-ray player at Target instead. The Target price was good and the unit worked right out ofthebox. I have been pleased with most of my electronics purchases on Amazon, especially bevause you can get your money back if an item is returned.

i also can now. it was shipped to my house on saturday. i'm a little disappointed, i kinda wish i got the pioneer 919 for the upscaling factor. i had tabled it cuz it was a little out of my price range but about an hour after i bought the onkyo i noticed the pioneer was only 10 bucks more. oh well...thanks brad.

It did but I returned mine to this vendor because the sound quality was horrible. That was in June and I still haven't got my money back. I bought the Grom Audio BT3 - TOY it functions well and sounds great.

Chris, I believe i have owned mine for a couple years now and I don't see it listed on Sony's website as a current model. It has most likely been replaced by a more current model. If you want just the blu-ray player (without speakers, etc.) I think your best bet is to search for used on Amazon, ebay, etc. Good luck.

Yo, Mr. Lee, I'm very surprised to hear that your SoundSticks II "died" on you in such a short time frame. I would hope that Harmon Kardon took care of you. Please post a follow-up so that we other SoundStick investors see how customer relations works with this Co. Mine work splendidly tho they too are only a couple months old. Hope somebody took care of you.
