Not for sale by Amazon? Hi all, Does anyone know why this is not actually for sale by Amazon.com, but instead through other buying options featured on the site?

I don't have an answer for you, but I have done some Google searches on this model and noted two things about it. First, there don't seem to be any professional product reviews for it in any publications; only user reviews (like on Amazon.com) are available. Second, some of what I read indicated that the model would be available in the spring, or even the summer of 2010. Clearly, it became available for sale before that. Perhaps it's not "officially" available in some way? One final thought: this model essentially replaces the BDP-N460, which is still on the market and costs more money. I've been surprised that prices have not been slashed on those models. Perhaps Sony does not want to encourage sales of the BDP-S370 until its inventory of N460s is depleted.

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.

No, actually, you clicked through to the Amazon site. The $6.77 is Amazon letting you know that this is available from OTHER places for that price. But you may have to pay other shipping and handling elsewhere. You can get to those other places by clicking the lower link in the listing or by the highlighted "other sellers" where is says right underneath the prices that "this item may be available for less from other sellers."

I think Amazon is BS'ing us.. I was there clicked and all kinds of stupid crap happened. It was added to my cart, then what do ya know... error. Hmmm.. glitch?

It sounds like the seller you originally purchased from was a 3rd party seller and not Amazon. You just had a bum 3rd party seller. Simply re-order from the seller that has it in stock. You can leave seller feedback. Please don't leave a negative review of the seller on this product page.

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

This model was released a few days ago and can be found for sale on excaliberpc.com and CDW.com I don't know why Amazon doesn't yet have it in stock. Being an Amazon Prime member I want to take advantage of 2-day shipping and not wait an undetermined 1-2 months before I get it. Gee you would think that Amazon is one of the largest (if not THE largest) retailers of this product so would have first crack at having them in stock. I'm baffled.

Why did Amazon remove the items page? Especially when everything on the net is pointing to a release date of Dec. 19 in the US! Ugh the mystery around this on all of the websites is nerve wrecking!

Hello, thank you for your question. As of today January 19, 2014 this item is listed as "Currently Unavailable" which means that it is currently not available for ordering, and it may not be in stock again. I'd suggest checking our website from time to time to see if this item is available. If anyone is selling it, you'll see a "More Buying Choices" box on the product detail page. If it's not available from any sellers, you might see an "Alert me" link; "Alert me" allows you to sign up to be e-mailed when Amazon has stock available for purchase. I hope this helps!

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

Just checked the this item ASIN number...it's in stock and sold by Amazon.com.....we are listed as "buyer choices", but we don't have them listed for the $15.00

I agree D. I guess Amazon deleted them because they don't want people to hold off buying the TV just because they think the price will decrease. To Amazon, they'd prefer it if MORE people paid 1749 for the TV than a reduced price of say1249. My thing is: why make the link to this forum available in the first place?

Oh from Amazon? Yeah I got some generic email from them before that said your "item is no longer in stock" which lead me to believe anything we hear from amazon regarding this is useless (since they never had it in stock)

Different sellers? I have noticed other things that are sold on Amazon that are exactly the same just different colors cost different. Might be by demand.

does anyone know when the release date is for Amazon? other small dinky stores are already selling it but I'd feel a lot safer if it came directly from Amazon. Thanks in advance.

Did you purchase it from Amazon or from one of their sellers? I know a lot of other stores or re-sellers (best buy, j&r;, etc..) have this in stock. What's the deal with Amazon?!?!?

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.
