What IS this thing??? Does Amazon have a special model with a crippled FSB that it's selling at a discount??

I doubt it, it looks (from the description) that it's actually the older 3.0 GHz Dual Core, not the 3.0 Quad Core as it says in the title....mistake?

Yeah, I see that too. Under item description it describes a laptop or something. Amazon messed this one up.

The Amazon listing is wrong. Also, it only has 1 component input and 1 composite input. (I have this model.) I submitted a product info update.

Yes this is price gouging... personally I think Amazon should not allow items to be listed above a certain percentage of msrp. Not even sure if this will work with a modern OS (apart from Linux).

To answer my own question: I called Amazon and was told they had no replacements of that model available. They're going to email me a shipping label to print out and then credit my account.Since I called after hours I might try calling again to see if they are willing to make a deal with one of their 3rd party sellers to exchange it for the right model.I'm very disappointed. Love Amazon, but they should stop shipment if something's not available instead of substituting something that's worse than the advertised item.Someone must have thought we would not notice. :/

I even signed up for the Amazon store card so that I could get the not finance charge for 18 months. If I do get the set from Frys.com or Abes then I going to have to deal with the hassle of closing out the Amazon card too.I have bought a few cameras from Abes of maine. They did fine by me in the past. I'll have to check it out.Its funny they keep raising the price of the 46 and lowering the price of the 52inch. The 52 inch only by a $1 at a time though.Maybe they want to sell more 52s?

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

I'm sorry, but that isn't helpful. Details? How did they cheat you? What claims did they make to deny you a rebate. How did they differ from what you were promised. Has Amazon responded to any contact you've made? Just saying you were cheated doesn't give the independent reader any way to judge the merits of your claim or any information on why Amazon's rebates can't be trusted.

so when you get a deal like " $1549 (no sales tax, yay!)/free shipping/$100 NFLShop rebate/Logitech Harmony 500 Universal remote($85 value)/$30 Logitech mail in rebate", is that amazon specials combined? or how does this work? do i just wait for more specials to occur?

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

Hmmm ... I assume you realize that 1) I am a former customer from a long, long time ago, 2) not the seller and 3) without interest in the problem. That said, I wll take a minute to address your situation and possibly offer some alternatives.First, Amazon has been very good about resolving problems on behalf of their customers, in this case, you. So, I would contact them directly and they should get a resolution of 1/2 price or a replacement from one of their suppliers.

Hopefully this is a mistake by Amazon. It happens from time to time. Other retailers have it as low as $279.

You need to watch out for suspicious sellers, right now they ahip from Amazon.com directly I assume they are a Canon reseller so yeah, I think. :P

I wondered if amazon wouldn't give a heads up on arrivals of a major purchase like this, seeing as they don't charge your cc until it ships, and I'd like some notice on a $900 hit on my account. Thanks for all the replies, saves me from going to B&H; twice a day until it's available.

Good Morning,Thank you for this information. I apologize but this is a listing issue with Amazon. I have sent them a msg to let them know to correct it.Thank you.

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.
