RE: Congrats! Get it while you can. Samsung is shutting down the production next month

***There are no firesales on the 8500, I'm sure somebodies are stashing them away in their garages/basements, like some did with the last Pannies and Pios.

Actually, the prices have been coming down nicely... 3 weeks after we bought ours Amazon dropped it by $600, so we got the refund from Best Buy.

Some people are indeed talking about stashing one away... I would not do that with a $3000 TV, but I can understand the logic, if you have funds.

After all, the promise of OLED is anyone's guess - it might take 3-5 years (as I hope...), or it might take much longer.
