Dude have you read through any of the comments? With so many people still commenting that they missed the deal, it's obvious how many people don't take a little time browse through the comments to track the progress of the deal.

Anyone can get this deal whether your location has it in stock or not. Ask a Best Buy rep to order it for you and they will charge you the sale price. Simple as that. I know it's hard to comprehend Best Buy doing something right after the iPad price match fiasco from a couple of weeks ago but people really need to check the thread comments and stop asking the same questions over and over again

$220 for a Name brand 5.1 4k receiver? And speakers? And a sub? Maybe 10 years ago.

I just paid 250 for this receiver 2 months ago refurbished.

It's a solid device BTW. Paired it with a JAMO set.

Not really no Atmos or eARC is a pretty big deal even for just streaming
Atmos? Really? Upward firing speakers?

Quote from MasterGamer100 :
Not really it's limited to 60hz which is gonna be a no go for gaming and also no Atmos or eARC

https://usa.yamaha.com/products/a...index.html
That's the RX-V385 webpage

Says it does eArc.


It's true it limits you to only 60Hz for video- but eArc solves that- you send the video direct to the display and earc the sound back to the AVR.

(course if you're a serious gamer you'd still be fine without earc- you run one connection from your 4090 GPU to the high refresh display, then a second connection from the 4090 to the AVR just for audio Smilie That's how I'm still rocking a Denon X3300 just fine while still doing 4k/120 video)


As to Atmos- the list of games supporting it remains pretty short (and a decent # of those are just different entries in a few different series) so that's pretty far from a broad "no go" for gaming.

Pro tip: go to store ask associate to place an online order. Store POS displays op price. Was able to snag one.
Serious Pro Tip!

Could not have been easier. Walked directly to customer service, showed them the SKU and ordered it at the clearance price no issue. Best Buy rep didn't blink an eye. I was out in literally two minutes.

Probably should have bought a second set. Only minor gripe is that they could not ship, I have to pick it up at the store next week.

So you went to store and cancelled the item then asked for it or you went to the pick up line and asked for it then cancelled? If you canceled first, did you ask some to grab it from pickup area?
As I was in line I cancelled the pick up and asked to repurchase with a different card was out within 2 minutes

Forgive my ignorance, I have never owned a receiver and I want to purchase this receiver but I dont want to hook up any A/V source to it (no ps5, no blu ray player etc.), I just want to hook up my tv to it (into one of its input hdmi) so that I can hear what comes out of my tv to this receiver's speakers, effectively using it as if it were a soundbar, so there would be no video just audio input from the tv to the receiver Hope that makes sense. I couldnt find a straight answer online. Is this doable?
