Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB. I bought mine last week at Newegg.com. Got it for $699.99\Free Shipping. I don't know what their price is currently, but they are very professional, shipped it the day I ordered it, and the shipping was UPS 3 Day Ground. I like Amazon, but their pricing has gotten very sketchy. I've also noticed 1 day Amazon handles the selling and shipping of the 7200, and the following day a vendor like 6Ave is doing the selling and shipping of the 7200 thru Amazon. Check around before plunking your $$$$ down. Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB.

Agreed on the shipping comment. I put this in my cart and what do you know, a $70 shipping charge showed up. However, since the package is so large (its huge for those of you who have received it already) you have to schedule a delivery date. I just picked a delivery date one day after the recommended day, and the charge went away. After that, I got in contact with the shipping company through Amazon and arranged a scheduled delivery 3 days before my scheduled delivery, free of charge. I also purchased this last week at the $720 price, not sure why it has gone up since then.

PS- If you buy thru Amazon, make sure at Check Out that Shipping has NOT been added. About a month ago, I had to add a 7200 to my cart in order to get their price, and just for the heck of it, I went on to Check Out. There, a Shipping Charge of roughly $70 had been added, even though it originally said the unit qualified for Free Shipping. When I inquired about the shipping charge, I was informed due to the size of the product\weight, it didn't receive Free Shipping. Kinda like Qualifying to win the Publishers Clearing House I guess.

I was about to order, but then saw the price increase. I've felt like I was watching commodity trading on the pricing the last couple of weeks. Just a guess on my part, but perhaps they are starting to receive units with the new 2009 maps, and that is the reason for the uptick in price? Again, merely an uneducated guess on my part. I'm looking at pcrush(d0tc0m) to order at $235 now.

None. I just can't understand how the price goes up by $440 for two versus the $60 local store cost for one when NOT ON SALE! Something is fishy here. That can't be a $380 quality charger they added.

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?

That sounds accurate. Samsung is selling the model NEW for $799.9 and we are selling it in LIKE NEW condition for $100 less.

does anyone have any ideas as to why the price on this set has gone up approx. $400 over the last couple of weeks?

I think the new model is the HTS-S360, which appears as "coming soon" on sonystyle.com. This new one looks cooler, in my opinion, and there are also a couple of improvements, obviously. I've been dying to get a component HT system to complement my PS3 & Bravia set up, and I was almost ready to purchase the 2300 when I decided (luckily) to check Sony's website. Since the new model is advertised to be only $350, I guess I'd recommend to wait for it, I know I will.

I haven't even tested the battery life yet (I've only had it plugged in) but the rest of the system is pretty awesome. Sorry...... I am still upset that they dropped the price by 300.00 a month after I bought it!

The price has jumped up. When I got mine they ere $40 for the two. May be that when I listed the 80 uses for it they decided they were not getting enough for it. LOL

Very interesting. Today is March 6, 2014 and the price has increased to $89.99... this is the price I just paid for this item

I was going to buy at $1,249 but now the price has gone up.... I'll wait or keeop up the search for that price elsewhere..

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.

Yeah it's pretty sad. Old out dated model's price increasing. Seems like counter intuitive of how things work.

Yeah it was about ten bucks in dec 13. Then it jumped to more then double that. This is why you always need to double check prices on Amazon.

Its strange...I bought this computer at Best Buy - 3 weeks ago (4/14) for $599...its now $749 there and at Amazon.com, the price has always been this high. Thought Amazon would be the less expensive route - guess I was wrong. The computer is great for my needs, though.

The price increased from $1,631 to $1,742.97, and now increased again to $1,815.44. I actually had it in my cart to order it in the next few days, but I just removed it after the price change.

Amazon raised the price 50 bucks and I missed the best deal- note Target sells it for $249.99 (w free shipping).
