When will the price come back down? I've been watching the Double D edition for a while, should be ~$450 if that

There are reports that AMD has raised the MSRP on the 290 to $499 because of supply shortage.

Whenever the litecoin bubble pops, AMD has already said that they are still selling them for the same price to the retailers, Amazon and Newegg and the rest of the e-tailers are raising the prices because they are selling extremely well.

I snatched it off of Sears.com for 649.99. For that price it was an unbelievable steal. I was thinking of getting a Samsung LCD, but a plasma for the price this was amazing. Everyone who wants an HDTV should hop on this. I have to wait a week for it to get into my local sears though. I wonder how long the 649.99 will last because almost every site now has jumped back up to the $800-$1200 price range.

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.

It really stinks - I was waiting for Black Friday to purchase and it's gone UP in price. I'm going to rethink this - maybe the D3000 which is here for $100 off. I was so ready to buy!

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!! Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO.

I picked mine up on sale at the local Best Buy for around $750 before tax... Cant help but think the price will go much lower as the 3D tv's are released and the price of LED tv's start to come down...

Well, you know BB is going to run the 10-12% off on Labor Day weekend. Added with the likely price drops by everyone to compete for football season, this price will probably go down by the end of August. I wish I could have bought this for $2,199 but I'm not going to buy a new tv when I don't move for another month. Grrrh!

Hold out for a while. It was listed at $367 on here not that long ago. This is Amazon price gouging.

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

Seems bizarre that they would discontinue BOTH of their Blu-ray players at the same time (unless there was something defective??). But at $699, they may as well discontinue the 55. That price is ridiculous! Maybe their new models will come out before March/April?

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

I agree. If this thing goes on sale. I'm going to buy one. I've been watching it for a while. Just can't afford 299.00 right now.

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.

Anyone think these prices are going to drop a little for the Super Bowl? I almost picked it up yesterday at 1939.09 but saw this forum and thought I would wait to see if it got lower. So far it has gone back up.

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

It's only a black friday special. Though, I spoke with their large items department and they said they are not guaranteeing the $179 price. That is a possible rumor and they may or may not discount the price. And if they do they do not know what prices they will be taking these down to. They will do their best to be competitive with other black friday sales. That's just what they told me
