Also does not seem to be working for many of us who do have it.
Why is it not a requirement to stipulate this is a special deal for EPP or whatever criteria that many are not a part of?
I was able to get the code to work on desktop but not mobile

I have a nice yamaha receiver and 5.1 speakers, but recently moved and don't want to have to redo speaker wiring!

I know people praise it, but I wouldn't buy it again even at a cheaper price.
Voices still sound tinny and boxy and there's almost no left/right separation. The base and atmos height effects and surround sound effects are very good which is why it gets praise, but 80% of the important sound is dialog and front speaker content and it still sounds like a small plastic speaker to me.
Any one of my dedicated speakers in the $200-$300 price range make that front 80% of audio content sound miles better than this bar. I cross compared with a pair of Infinity R 162, Klipsch RP 150s and 160s, and a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv B1+
I'll still keep and use the bar as it looks nicer under an 85 inch TV, and I don't have room on the sides of my TV for a pair of speakers, but the upstairs living room will keep the full surround sound system and it's not even close for me.

Part of my problem with this is because most of my experience is with true home theater setups. No matter what anyone says, this can't compete with a properly configured and calibrated home theater system. We have it in our living room and it's ok for watching sports or TV shows. But not for movies or anything where immersive soundtrack is important.
Then there are 3 issues are with the device itself. 1) The biggest upgrade of this to me was the prospect of wireless surrounds. Unfortunately in practice they barely ever fire, and when they do it is often out of context (i.e. randomly playing front channel sound). No amount of upping surround volume nor adjusting the modes have made this better. Yes we have latest firmware.
2) we have it paired with a pre-Q Symphony generation Samsung tv, but the fact it is a Samsung does not seem to matter. 1-2 times per year have had to do a full reset because the HDMI handshake craps out. Using the Smartthings app can offer additional controls but doesn't solve everything.
3) the presence of the Q990 introduced reliability issues to the TV wi-fi. The whole setup is a few feet from nearest mesh access point, never had an issue before but ever since the Q990 moved in we periodically (sometimes multiple times in a day, sometimes only once in a while) have to hold the power button on the TV until it full-restarts and can regain connection to the network.
This replaced a smaller Yamaha soundbar+sub in our living room, if all you want to do is upgrade from an existing sound bar and don't care about cost, then feel free. Based on our experience and use case, I wouldn't buy this again even at the lower $600 price.
If you are used to "real" home theater and think this could be a high spouse approval substitute for having speakers, wires, processor, amps etc--then you will be disappointed/are better off skipping.
