The LIST price on HP's web site for the rx5915 is $499, so Amazon's price ($410) is a decent discount on that. The other prices I've seen here, some of which greatly exceed this list price, are ridiculous.

amazon is a LARGE internet retailer. it would almost always be able to undercut what bricks-and-mortar stores would be charging for virtually anything. I initially bought the unit at a norcal compusa for about $650 after taxes. then i googled this thingy for some technical questions, and out pops the amazon link. got from amazon for around $425. returned the compusa merchandise the next day.

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

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.

Well, how long are willing to wait before you buy. Just ordered mine recently, so it should be here next week and i can tell you how it goes. But let me tell you i save sooo much money by coming to amazon. no tax and free shipping. you cant beat that. Plus amazon has a 30 day guarantee, if something happens then you get a new one.

I'm not sure if there is an exact way to compare prices directly, between Amazon and local retailers. All you can really do is double check the item stats (model number, etc.) and go from there --- compare the prices on your own.

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.

Thank. I just returned mine to Amazon as well. I ordered another unit from another retailer (Amazon was out of stock) and am hoping for a better unit.

I ordered this on 30 June and the damn thing refuses to arrive. I am getting really angry with Amazon. Does anyone have any idea of some other place where I can get a good deal on this.

I just got one about a month ago. I buy a lot of stuff from Dell, it was in Dell packaging, you couldn't tell the difference. I have a Dell sales rep and asked him how Amazon can sell it cheaper -- they get some special deal.

I am not sure why this pricing would come up for you. The unit is priced from us and most other competitors as well as around $80 dollars. It is possible that you are looking at a listing for a used item, or possibly that you have a credit on your Amazon account.

I don't know if I could give you any reassurance on that. The one I got was either refurbished or used, because it wasn't in the original packaging. Mine works fine, but I have a feeling quality might vary from order to order so the best advice I can offer you is familiarize yourself with the return policy, and look things over when you get it. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. I hope you find what you're looking for.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

yes, I've asked twice and haven't gotten an answer. I've returned a recall unit. If I could get a clean one, I'd buy it. I think it's a very nice product. But, I for one, am not going to pay retail for a "fixer-upper". At a "refurb" price, I'd think about it, because units below ser 3114200 are exactly that - refurbs waiting to be refurbed. I'm going to wait another week to see if I get an answer, and then just get something else. Sigh.

I noticed that as well -- now it looks like Amazon has stopped selling (new) units themselves altogether, with no explanation. We bought ours from Amazon recently and it seems to work fine. A thorough and generally well-done review was posted by someone on July 25 if you haven't seen it.
