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.

Receiver is not detecting Amazon Fire Stick! Audio is fine but no video! I tried multiple sticks but no go.
Anyone experienced this issue?
If you are connecting to receiver and using hdmi to tv then you may have to change the setting in receiver. You will see the settings on tv from receiver and change to 4k upscaling ON. That worked for me

I believe I have one in front of me, the box says 4950U, but the website says 4950UBL. I assume they are the same?

Edit: ugh, It's ringing up at full price. I wonder if this is over.

Edit 2: drove to another store 50 minutes away. Also ringing up at the $649 price. I'm wondering if this deal is dead, or if I'm just unlucky.

Picked mine up yesterday and set it up today. IPhone (8+) does not detect receiver when Bluetooth is turned on in the receiver. The iPad doesn't see it either. Anyone else facing this ?

EDIT: Never find, found the solution

Please keep the solution a secret so anyone with the same problem who finds this thread remains stumped.

  1. press Bluetooth on the remote, verify it displays on the receiver
  2. press and keep the 'memory' button on the remote pressed (on the bottom half of the remote) for a few seconds when the 'searching' text appears on the receiver's display - this is when the receiver is broadcasting
  3. on your Bluetooth connections of the device you're trying to pair, 'RX-V385 Yamaha' appears
  4. continue with pairing

My store has showed 1 in stock all this time, haven't bothered to check it out.

Today I noticed BB website has it listed for 650 - 100 instant savings, thought that was interesting - I wonder if it kills the deal.

This is correct box. There would be another BB sticker on box with 'BL'.

Adding another Data point.

Seems dead. Found one at local best buy this morning and rings up $549.

What do you mean adding another data point? What would that do? I'm still waiting to hear back about mine, it was delayed as well.

It's been dead for a few days now.
