It's not exactly the same pricing, since there is the matter of state tax...

I wonder when Amazon is going to get these so they can ship them out. I notice on the Pioneer website that the 820k is now listed as $349. Still $299 on Amazon. I hope they start shipping soon!

Interestingly enough, when you actually click "Buy Now" on the Pioneer site, the price changes to $299 in your cart, but also charges you sales tax, so the only diff from Amazon at that point is the tax (plus the fact that they actually seem to be shipping!)

If you buy it from pioneer now it is the same price and they ship the same day as well. I got tired of waiting for amazon and tried pioneer, and guess what it will arrive tomorrow!

I received an email from the Pioneer website today that these are ready to ship the week of April 19th.

You can now buy the VSX-820 off the Pioneer site as of this morning. Hopefully Amazon starts shipping soon.

J&R; have these in stock and are shipping immediately. I cancelled my order with Amazon and ordered from J&R; yesterday. My receiver is already in-transit. I did have to pay $2.95 for shipping, but it beats waiting for Amazon to get these in stock.Edit: Actually, J&R; is offering free shipping on the 820. Originally only from their direct website, it now shows the same at Amazon.

Actaully, the Pioneer site changed that status yesterday, so you'd think that Amazon would have them moving any minute now, although I don't know what their usual lag time is on something like this.

I have the s4 and did buy all the cables samsung and pioneer cd ah200 but, did not work for me because my s4 has the last android update, so i am waiting for pioneer to come up with an upgrade. Check pioneers page and your android version, I think only works with the 4,2 and under. Any way if you dont like to buy it right away just hook a high quality hdmi and later you can just plug the cd ah200 to that cable and avoid the work of taking the unit outHope this helps you

Contact Amazon for official policies on pre-sell prices. Vizio's website states that this TV is slated to go on sell this month. I contacted them a couple of days ago and they told me that they shipped a bunch to Amazon and other Vizio retailers as well. It is now up to Amazon to launch these things. I am cautiously optimistic that this thing will be in my living room within two weeks. (As long as I have it before football season anyways.)

Updates are not available for the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT yet. I was actually wondering when they might become available for that unit.

According to Sony - this model can have it's firmware updated. HDMI 2.0 will probably be in the updates as it becomes more widespread.

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.

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.

Hmmm, interesting. I just checked the manual and page 26 gives a very specific wiring chart as to how to set up the component input. Then on page 39 it shows the input settings to match the wiring you selected.I really prefer HDMI as the best way to go. I have everything feeding the receiver with HDMI and one output to the TV. All of my device selections are made through the receiver and it works like a charm. I use their APP for my Apple iPad to control the receiver.For the record, I have not used the component video inputs on this receiver so it is hard to speak from actual experience. Hmmm, interesting.

They have been released already. All of the stock/versions A1, A2, X1, X2 sold out rather quickly. Another shipment should be arriving the end of this month supposedly. I pre-ordered an A2 version from here. It only lacks a blu-ray drive which is not a big deal for me at least. You can check anywhere on the net. Every site is taking orders but they are pre-orders only. I've had great service from Amazon and figure they'll get one of the larger shipments.

Why do those other stores claim they have them in stock? Amazon keeps changing on me and have September 29, 2011 - November 8, 2011 dates. I'll be calling (866) 216-1072 to ask about this.You can't even buy it at Netgear's store so that's probably telling you something. I wonder if they ran into another SNAFU? Maybe we'll see them by the next CES event when the 3900 is announced.http://store.netgear.com/store/netgear/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.43976600/productPriceDescending.sort/resultsPerPage.10

I was debating between the Pioneer 919 and Onkyo 607 too. Ater owning an Onkyo for 25 years (and still going strong) I thought i'd end up with the Onkyo, but I ended up purchasing the Pioneer 919 due to the following:- I can connect my iPod touch without having to purchase a $100 dock as with most other receivers- slightly higher power, slightly lower THD- great price ($349 at Newegg about a week ago)I haven't hooked it up yet (need to wait until xmas). Also bought a pair of Polk Monitor 70s for only $170 each, also at Newegg.

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a Vizio rep with some detailed info. He stated that the first round of shipments to Amazon have been completed and that they have them in stock. He said that Vizio will give them the green light to go live very shortly....no later than the middle of August. He confirmed the demand is extremely high for the 553....can't wait. I have the TV stand ready/Blu-Ray player ready and DirecTV on speed dial.

LG Lied about this. They promised early adopters that they would be covered for HDMI 2.0. I called them, emailed them etc. etc. They never gave me a straight answer. I emailed the VP who promised this and never got a response.Fast forward less than a year and the new models come out with HDMI 2.0 and they ignore the fools that dropped $16,000 on the first models.My advice is to never buy from them.

Sooner than May. Pioneer is sending emails saying they will ship it the week of April 19. (But I don't know about availability on Amazon.)

Dude. Pioneer's web site says the list price if $599. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers/ci.VSX-1018AH-K.Kuro?tab=B If anyone really got it for less than Amazon's price it would be bennificial to let us all know where specifically you got it and did you get free shipping and no tax.

Does anyone know anything about the company(Stream TV) that will be releasing this product? I would like their phone number, web site, or anything else pertinent. I'm trying to find the release date, but to no avail.
