    Go on frys.com and look up the plu number of the one your interested in and i'll see if i get a discount on it. I cant guarantee i can save you anything because our discounts are hit or miss depending on the mark up of the product, but i will try.

    Good receiver! I have the 606 and really couldn't be happier. (Well I could, but not at the same price point...).

    I've been 'stalking' this receiver for months. I should have jumped on it when it was $350 shipped on amazon. Now it's at 400 shipped. Might still jump on it.

    Brandsmart has it for $599 but the one I went to was out of stock of them.

    and Matt, I checked Amazon and Brandsmart was cheaper in the sotre.

    I'd love to pick up an RC-180 so I can stream Pandora in the house without the laptop hooked up. I have an old 602 series that has been bomb proof it was a refurb I bought of ecost.com for $199, and could not be happier (other than I wish it would support digital sources for Zone B speakers on the patio, but I'm just nitpicking)

    After further research, I think I am waiting for the Pioneer VSX-1120-K to be released next month.

    Matt, I would suggest you wait for the Pioneer VSX-1020-K. It should be in your price range.

    I was looking at that on engadget the other day. Definitely considering it. I have a Denon right now, but it doesn't have HDMI so I'm limited with all my NEW gadgets that do have HDMI.

    thanks for the input, Eddie

    Thanks Trey. I think I am going to wait for the 1120 so I can control it with my netbook. Also, I am going to wait to see how much stores actually sell it for once it is released. Who sells stuff at MSRP these days:)

    Agreed, I'd need the 1120 since it has 8 channel pre-outs for my amp. Wish it had 8-channel input for my SACD/ DVD-A player too.

    Does Fry's have washer/dryers? I just bought a new house, and the last 3 things I need are a Washer, Dryer, and 32" LCD for the kitchen :)

    There really isnt a whole lot of markup in washers/dryers. What I ended up doing was finding the model I wanted, Shopping around for the cheapest price, then taking it to Lowe's and they matched it, plus took 10% off. They use to also take the additional 10% off card from the post office, but has stopped doing that on price matches. The manager showed me on the washer I purchased that I got it for $125 under his cost since fry's was selling it so cheap to begin with. Just make sure you have some sort of proof of the price you find. I had to actually take the sign from Fry's to prove to them that was the price they were selling it for.

    In my experience, Brandsmart doesn't even require proof.

    Yeah but they only pricematch...Lowe's will beat it by 10% if you bring proof.

    check around places like craigslist and you can find them for stupid cheap...all the houses that are foreclosing and having bankruptcy filed on them, the soon to be not owners are gutting them and selling appliances for dirt cheap. Newegg and woot also have some pretty awesome deals on the LCD

    While this is true, you can always take the 10% off yourself before give them the price and they will take that. :p

    Well, does anyone have any suggestions on which washer/dryer to go with? I know opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one... but some folks have already done some of the research on these 2 items... I'm thinking $1000 for washer/dryer (together) and about $250 for the tv... but of course, I want high quality chit that is a good value...

    Also, check with Lowes and Home Depot, alot of times they will have scratch and dent items, and they mark them down a decent amount.

    As to which washer/dryer you should go with, for $1000.00 will narrow down alot of choices. It will be kinda hard to find both at that price. Might want to look at something other than front loaders for that price.

    $250.00 for the TV is pushing it some, but you can find deals just watch internet sales. This was the best I could find.
