Why not include the $100 coupon? Is there a reason amazon isn't choosing to bundle this with the $100 coupon that is available with the Ul80vt?

It isn't just DDR. The UL50Vt has discrete nVidia 210M graphics, in addition to built in graphics. They are switchable, so you can turn off the discrete graphics when the battery begins to drain in order to work longer without having to find an outlet. The UL50A just has the built in graphics.

I agree, it doesn't make sense to include the gift card with the UL50AG and the UL80VT, but not the UL50VT. I would also buy this if the gift card was included. (Does ASUS have something to do with this??)

I'll second that. I would buy it right now if this model included the $100 Amazon coupon. Otherwise, it's a little expensive.

That is a fourth for me. I would snap this up immediately if the $100 coupon were applicable. Otherwise it is too much of a jump for the DDR3 RAM. Any chance amazon will offer this?

S.DowlingI'm having the same problem trying to obtain the $25 rebate. I attempted to follow Lyman's steps below but with no avail. I've contacted Amazon via email as I couldn't find a number to call them directly. If anyone has the customer service #, I'll give them a call.

I saw it too. I saw the coupon the day after I looked it up online, went to the site to buy it, and was dumbfounded. Amazon keeps this crap up and they will lose a VERY good customer.

It was not in the bundle I purchased. At the time the price was 1499 from amazon, that most certainly is too cheap to be bundled with anything. I have heard of three different configs for sale. 1) body only 2) bundled with th 24-105 (great combo) 3) bundled with the 24-70 F4.

Agreed. I have been looking at the 85U for about 2 weeks and this is the lowest price I have seen. Thank you Amazon. Unbelievable that the 85U is cheaper than the lesser model (80U). Plus, free shipping! I was looking at other New York outlets and they raised their prices over the past few days. Thanks again Amazon!

Not sure what Amazon's price was before with freebies, but I gather its price (compared with others on the Amazon site) reflects that the freebies aren't really free. On the 24th Sony Style store was selling it in store for 2200 with free financing options. Not sure about today.

Did you find yours online? I found a "save 15% on select electronics and accessories" on the back of a catalog, but I get a "We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit." error. Bummer! Now if only Amazon would listen up and drop the price they would have my money already!

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).

I was wondering the same thing. I am thinking about buying the the 1019 and now I came accross the VSX-9049 and right now the difference is only around $20 in Amazon.

Yes, many thanks for the hot tip, TV Guy. I too got my email discount which is good for 48 hours. I think I'll wait to see what Amazon does on Friday since I'd rather have the enhanced delivery and 36-month financing. If they don't offer a competitive price I'll be hitting the place order button with Vann's Friday morning.

Actually, I used two of my iPod battery settlement $50 coupons, so I am getting the SuperDrive free. It was worth following that class action settlement, though I usually ignore them because the pickings are so slim

No. Better hold off a while on that coupon.http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9906407-1.html

I have been watching the price of this HDTV as well and I think that the practice of offering a coupon (which implies a discount) but then increasing the price by more than the value of the coupon is very misleading. It would seem from the comments above/below that other consumers feel the same way.

Here's Another website that will accept the coupon.http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=TB100HH9&gclid;=CPnFoNyVu5ICFQP4lgodfwnHbQI do have a question for someone what is the difference between the two different converter boxes. This is the first time that I have heard of the analog pass through converter and don't know understand what that means.

Ok just emailed Amazon about this and they said that they themselves were out of stock and to look at the offers from the third party sellers mentioned. Gee, if I wanted to pay over $100 more, I would have known how to do that! In any case, I just ordered it from Macy's online and got free shipping and $20 off using their SPRING promo code. Can't beat that!

I just got my bundle from US appliance for $2289 (they had a $10 off coupon) but it looks like amazon dropped theirs as well..probably thanks to your call! Would rather get from amazon but hopefully US will do a good job, will post a review once I receive the goods. Thank you!

Can you give any guidance on when other configs will be available? I want the ul80vt but I need to have win 7 professional and I would prefer the silver case. I had also read there was going to be a faster processor on offer (su9600?).
