I don't think this is a minor thing either after reading a dozen pages or so and may be a deal breaker for many.

Look under the 4th column for 85" version's specifications.
TV weight without stand is 100.9 lbs or 105.1lbs with stand.

For those with 3 year warranty on their boxes Sony has already confirmed the 5 year applies

$1970 85" version cost 63.8 cents per square inch of screen
$1599 75" version cost 66.5 cents per square inch of screen
$970 65" version cost 53.7 cents per square inch of screen
Therefore, the 75" version is the worst choice and actually cost more than the 85" version when looking at cost per square inch of screen

Costco.com VS Costco Warehouses (physical stores)
Costco.com vs Costco Warehouses (physical stores) act as 2 different business units and will not price match if bought from the "other" store.
Costco.com
Costco.com Price Adjustment Page: https://customerservice
30-day Price Adjustment
Multiple people have chatted/talked with customer support and have posted proof that orders will be price adjusted.
Multiple Costco.com orders even have the price adjustment already issued.
Free shipping
Costco Warehouses
Price adjustment seems to depend on the associate/store manager so YMMV.
The carton is a beast and DON'T LAY TV FLAT when transporting.

This is worrisome and I'll probably regret it, especially since we're dealing with Sony here, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they'll fix this....within my return window.
I was able to transport this in a T&C minivan... it barely fit and I had to move the front seats all the way up. I also had to tilt the TV but I definitely wouldn't lie it down. Used 1x6 to support the TV @ an angle. I only had a few mile drive and I drove very slowly with a person in back watching it. So far I like it.
In AVSFourm there are also quite a few people with eARC issues and audio cutting out at random times.
That's enough for me to steer clear of what looks like a really good deal, especially for 85". I guess there is a reason such a 'fully loaded' TV in terms of features is being so heavily discounted.
I'm in the market for 75"+ for my media room, that will live with a PS5 for years. I'm willing to wait for a good deal on a CX, Q80/90, or Vizio PQX.

I'm not sure whether to hold out on them stocking it online on Friday, or just go out and buy it ahead of time locally and deal with the price adjustment. I can borrow a pickup truck, but it seems like it's not advisable to lay it flat so I'll have to figure out a way to keep it somewhat upright in the bed.
Vendor wont take it back, so going to have to chargeback since it doesnt do what it says it will do.

If you are using as a computer monitor then it may be more noticeable.
