Why does the price keep fluctuating so much?

Amazon.com's pricing does that on many items. They can change by the hour.

Yeah, but why?

The wife just gave me the green light on this, but I am wondering if I should just wait until Black Friday.

And now its up to $214.99.

amazon just refunded me $15 for the free copy of matrix that was included in this deal because i preordered it when the list price for the set was ~89. this means that my final cost was $208.

Mine shipped last night. Expected delivery today. Now, the question is if the wife will give it to me now or make me wait until my birthday (december). Matrix shipped today, looks like a Monday delivery.

Now its $213.83 again.

Now showing as 214.99 for me.


I'm going for it.

It seems to go down to $213.83 in the morning. I'll see what its doing tomorrow.

I ordered mine Tuesday night, the DVD player arrived yesterday....and it didn't start up, after an hour on the phone with Samsung, (2 calls, 3 techs) they said it was defective! Samsung wanted me to ship to to them, I sai dI was sending it back to Amazon and Amazon already sent a replacement, scheduled to arrive Monday (and they sent me a UPS label to ship the other back)

Matrix just shipped today....

I'm just gonna wait until Black Friday. Having all the Matrix movies on DVD plus Animatrix already doesn't really make this worth it to me.

Wow, and I've read so many good reviews on th 1500 lately. I was thinking about selling the player to a friend, but maybe I should test it out first...

I got my (2nd) 1500 today and it works fine and the pic looks excellent...

I ordered it. I'm finaly on the Blu band wagon and riding into HD world. I should be watching Hulk in HD by Thursday.

Question for those who know: I looked at the dif between the 1500 and the 2500. Besides $100 it looks like the 2500 offers BD Live out of the box. In doing research before ordering it i saw that the 1500 could be "upgraded" to Live. Is this true?

Does this deal still work? Im wondering if the 2 free Blu-rays also stack on top of this free Matrix set deal. Then it would make this extra sweet.

You no longer get the Matrix set.

No, there's just 2 free Blu-ray's instead of a free Matrix set.

Yes, the latest firmware update turns the 1500 into a BD Live player. The only drawback is that there isn't enough memory onboard and you need to plug in a usb thumbdrive into the back of the unit.

Hmm, maybe that's why when I hook it up by hdmi I get a pink screen for a second and then black. And that's without even putting a disc in it. Although it does say it has the latest firmware (after updating it by ethernet).

what does BD live mean?

Internet connectivity (aka Profile 2.0). Interesting, but I've rarely ventured online via my PS3, though I'm sure some love it.

From what I've read you can have a movie night with friends in other locations online and watch and discus the same movie (although I'm sure you have to each own a separate copy), as well as make personal comentaries available.

I can't think of much else you would use it for and it doesn't interest me much. I guess I could see studios saving money by not providing extra content (docs, deleted scenes, comentaries, etc) on the disc, only making it available over BD Live. That would suck but it might bring prices down, 95% of movies I don't watch much more than the deleted scenes.

Damn, I'm pissed. I ordered the Samsung early morning on the 18th and it still hasn't arrived. The Matrix arrived on the 20th but they say the blu-ray won't be here until tomorrow. I know I picked free shipping but usually Amazon has things here in 2-3 days.

I guess I shouldn't complain but the thing is I start a round of nightshifts tomorrow and the next chance I'll have to even plug it in (let alone watch the Incredible Hulk and Casino Royal in glorious, climax inducing high def) is NEXT Thursday. ARRGGH!!!!!
