Why is it the BTW450 cost $460 and the BTW450Z cost $167? Is the newer -Z version made in China whereas the non-z version was made in Japan?

I bought the Z712 at Sams Club for 189.00 with tax: $202.00. Walmart has the Z712 for almost 250.00

Mine was made in Japan but is a almost 5years old now. I hope manufacturing has not moved to China on the new stuff but a gander at a display unit at your local Lowe's will confirm. Their price is twice what you would pay online though but never hurts to look first.

Sanyo it appears does not want to market these in the US as it is absent from their US webpage. J&R Electronics does not post it on their web site, but I was able to place a telephone order for one for $699. I'll see in a couple of days if I got what I ordered or not... --R

Sad but true China, states it right on the box. If it were USA, you would pay 50% more. The quality is good. This is my second unit. Good luck.

I dont know the exact reason why it is cheaper on ebay, but i can tell you the reason why they are so cheap. This products are from Korea that has not meet "quality standards" so cannot be sold so they are being sold here in the US (similar like how things are sold in the US as refurnished products). That being said they are not bad monitors. They "might" have dead pixels but that is about it. But this is a "perfect pixel" so they are guaranteeing a limit on the dead pixels while the ebay one might not, which is why there might be is a $100 difference.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

Sorry, I took a mistake. We have also the overseas model in many language. It is also New completely. If you want it, use Paypal payment. If possible, You save $10. Actually the cost all is $730 (include shipping cost).

I have been researching the FZ35 on CNET and others. Never saw the FZ40 till I went to check prices on Amazon. Why is the FZ35 cost more if its last years model? Any ideas?

I own a Bench Jaw and paid $129.99 for it, I don't know where the price of $59.99 came from but if their the same product I feel like I've been taken. Check and see if its now made in China?

Mine is clearly marked "made in China" but it seems to be very reliable, is built very solidly and works pretty much as expected. Almost every consumer electronic product retailing at under $1000 of Japanese design is now made in China or Korea. This is clearly a Tascam designed product, and hopefully, Tascam also oversees the quality assurance of the production line. They are , of course, putting their corporate reputation on the line. It's interesting that many people today see Japanese made products as a "gold standard". I'm old enough to remember when most Japanese export products were literally made out of metal recycled from soda and beer cans and were likely to fail in the first few minutes of operation, if they worked at all. Just wait a couple of years and there will be people wishing for Chinese manufactured electronic products, since most production will then be shifted to Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyway, China or Japan, it really shouldn't matter if the device works well (as long as you don't worry about it being made of lead, melamine and used Toyota accelerator pedal assemblies). :-)

I believe that the FTW edition is clocked higher than the SC version. Higher clock speed = bigger need for cooling = need for an additional fan. Also, the original price listed for the FTW edition was 289, while the SC edition was 269, so there was an original premium for the higher clock speed. My FTW is great.

Yes, the 52w3000 was at $2499 just a few weeks ago. Suddenly the price jumped to $2608, now I am waiting for the price to drop again...

I think the price change is due to new product being introducd. I too am a bit frustrated because a week ago I could have purchased one for $99. Now you can't find them for much less then $200. iHome is coming out with a Zune compatible clock radio for $99 and Altec already has the iM414 speaker set that has a battery option for $99. So the price on the m604 got jack back up.

I saw that too...I'm not sure what that's about. I don't think it's any different than the other 901s except for the color and other minor differences (keyboards feel different between the black and white models). I'd also like to know what is making it $619 when the other 901s are $275...
