IS AMAZON THAT STUPID? They do this trick every time, they sell stuff for cheap then they return the price back to the original price, this player was only $99 a day ago now its 3 times this price !

You are lucky you didn't buy this from Office Depot. Amazon took the money plus shipping plus sales tax out of my account and gave it to Office Depot. THEN Office Depot sends me an email saying they are out of stock, back ordered, and will let me know when they can get them. Amazon says I can't even apply for my money to be refunded until May 1!! I think that smacks of fraud and they get to use my money (and possibly 100's of other people's) for free. I am no longer shopping from Amazon!

Yeah. It was being sold by Office Depot. They even had it for $85 for a bit. I was going to buy as well. Too bad. Now I'll save that money for when the next gen systems come out.If you go to Office Depot you can still get it for $99.99 but says Temporarily Out of Stock :(

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

I wish people would stop blaming Amazon. Amazon is no longer selling the device. Its a MARKETPLACE seller that is using AMAZON To sell the Zune & unfortunately they have hacked up the price since the 80GB models are being discontinued.Dont blame Amazon, its the seller.

I just went to buy this at the $265.99 price and now its $314.99? Stupid... I'll buy it somewhere else cheaper.

Has happened to me 4 Times! I keep coming back because they are so cheap but not they are $55....???? What's up with that I paid $8 each last year on Amazon.

It's up to $199.00 now.. I can't believe this of Amazon, I've always trusted them - this place is getting as bad as Ebay!!

True - it's not Amazon's fault. It's marketplace scammers. As others have said - don't buy from these guys. If you really, really, really just have to have a discontinued Zune, get it on eBay for a reasonable price.

Yeah I was lucky enough to get it in the middle of march for 1580 then i saw the price went down to 1499 and i called amazon and got a refund for the 81 dollars. I would log on at different times to see the price and found that the price could change a few hundred dollars each day depending on who the seller is. Nine times out of ten it was from amazon though. My guess is that they just plain ran out of them, they were a steal.

Agreed. It is something that happens now and again on Amazon. We have no control when this sort of pricing strategy happens. Good luck, The Afternoon

My save and subscribe last month was 10.96. Came up to send it again over 20.00 to purchase. This is ridiculous. They are price gouging. Makes me wonder what type of company Amazon is - get tired of their games and this has happened before. This is worse then the price of gasoline and it's fluctuation.

Amazon is good about reducing the price. Don't do like I did, and record the date and time of the lowest price, then contact them later. I got the price match, but it took some explaining. Call them each time you see a lower price. They don't mind if you call them each time the price goes lower.

I think all of the items increased price in the Amazon. I compared the price in a week ago on the samsung TV. They increased while the other dealer not increase the price.

well... someone reported getting $500 off the $1749 price which would make the tv 1249. Then co-incidentally, or not, the posts disappear the same day. I tried to get the tv for that price 43 minutes after their post and was unable to do so. Mistake by Amazon?

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

I think whoever is charging this outragious price should be arrested for actually stealling. Anyone who would be stupid enough to pay this price should go back to school and learn their math again!!!! I'm surprised that Amazon doesn't protect their customers better then this and will think twice before I come on this site to buy from again!!!

They have done it again. They won't honor their price at all. Last time I ordered a SONY 52" LCD. The price was $1400.00. It's 200 cheaper than others. After 1 week, Amazon canceled order saying the price was wrong. I have been so mad .

Ya know, I wonder if Amazon tracks the interest (no of hits) on an item, then raises the price temporarily because it "senses" pending purchases. Ya gotta believe they do this. Why else the $20 increase? Then again, why not a $50 increase?Hope you guys get your SR606 in time for Christmas. Don't let the $20 turn you off. This should be a really good system and you can make-up the $20 by purchasing your HDMI, etc cables at Monoprice.com (there's my Christmas present/tip to you both!).Tony
