YMMV-Sony Bravia BX45 46" TV $349.99 at Target B&M

Quote from RHCCapri : I am so frustrated. There is one in stock 6 miles from my father, but he won't buy it because his 27" square tube TV still works just fine. Come on Dad maybe Mom would like to watch movies without having to squint at the letterbox format.

Of it's discounted, grab it, then go to dad's house and accidentally throw a hammer through his tube tv

Unfortunately Dad's house is 500 miles away from me. I am visiting next week so I hope his store does not discount the TV until Labour Day.

went to target in Columbia, MD this morning before work - still $699.

$699 Warwick RI- in stock

Went to target to check out TV. I must say that I was a little disappointed with the picture quality. Not what I was expecting from Sony. I realize that this was a display and probably not calibrated, but the PQ was worse than most of the HDTV's surrounding it. I guess I'll stop chasing this deal down. Good luck to everyone else trying to score this deal.

Worst way is to compare with other tvs especially in the lighting they have in stores.. I've seen very bad tvs in stores but once they got home the picture quality is amazing, not sure about this one but im sure it's fairly good picture quality for the price.

I agree I doubt Target takes the time to make sure all the tv's look perfect picture wise. They most likely open them up plug them in and done.

Quote from steamboater : Seems like a good price, do i need another tv?

Oh! Then you deserve a 3D television.

went to the target in Ellicot City, MD ... still $699.

FWIW, it is listed as "Limited Availability" at this store, and when I scanned the barcode they had none in stock in the backroom. But I did see one in it's box out on the store shelf.

The Columbia, MD Target, where it's still $699, shows it as "Available" on the tracker.

So what I'm getting at is the Limited Availability vs Available doesn't really mean squat about it's price, other than having some in the backroom or not. At least from my experience.

In Stock means they have them
L-A means there i only one left or they really don't have any.

These sets are sold around $699 if you want more features then it's $799 to $899. Not cheap sets. On my two SONY 40" and 46" I never have to set the picture quality is good to go out of the box.

Quote from jmuralinux : I picked the last one from Mays landing and did the return n rebuy in deptford, NJ.

Let me make sure I understand you: you bought it at one location for full price, then returned/rebought at another for the clearance price?

Previous posts in this thread have indicated that Target's policy doesn't allow this, and I just got back from a store where the manager said the same (they had to receive it into inventory and it had to make its way all the way back to the storeroom before they'd put it back out/up for sale).

I have a couple of stores within 20 or so miles of me, so if there's even HALF a chance that this is true, I'm willing to bite (worst thing that can happen is that I just return it outright and give up).

(edit: Just to clarify, the manager's explanation was for the scenario of rebuying with a different form of payment - that is, double the warranty with my platinum card which I didn't have with me at the time - NOT for the clearance price. I'm careful about tipping off employees.)

Called the local Target and snatched up the last floor model for $349 + 30% off! Thank you so much! I'm near Chicago, Illinois BTW....

Depends on the employees working at the time along with the story you are trying to sell. Target's official policy is that this doesn't work. Some employees could care less though and will do it for you. In my experience I would put the chance of employees letting you do the return/rebuy at less than 50/50.

The ($349 retail) 39" Westinghouse 1080p LCD/LED was $199 at our Target this morning. Note that there are TWO of them, with almost an identical box. One is last years model, one is the new model ($399). I *think* the DPCI for the $199 one ends in 0732, the $399 one in 0739.
