Anyone left with an invite? Ready to pull the trigger on the 55 ks8000. At a shade over $700.00 that's an incredible price point for this tv.
Check your PMs... you got my final invite ;-) Enjoy!
Yes. Just use the same address as your shipping address (whatever you're using for border handling) for the billing address. If your credit card provider rejects the transaction just call them to have that address temporarily added to your account
Yeah especially that King County 9.5% rate. I received my confirmation email probably after 5-10 mins. Maybe took 30 mins for it to show up on my account under orders.
I have one invite remaining.

I ordered online earlier in the night on a credit card, then cancelled. When I went to buy in store they had it all good to go and I swiped my credit card and the money hadn't gone back on yet
So i didn't have the available money on the card. I so had them beat.Yep, King county tax rate kills me. constantly. aaaaaa
Only alternative right now for me would be the KS9000, but at the price it is at the moment I do feel like I'd rather spend the extra money on an OLED.

Was gonna buy a 4K set this year. I pretty much use my TV for gaming and there's really not a solid set that's worth spending money on. I'm leaning towards 65" OLED but the input lag is stopping me at the moment. I wish Samsung would do a full array back lit display.

Well I'm going to go try. As the saying goes, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
although that being said... WOW points. how exactly do these work anyway? like a credit I'm assuming? is 4380 a solid amount?

Man Canada is screwed for getting anything normal price, might as well wait a year or seven for prices (and sales) that remotely come close to what the US is getting.

Worth a shot man. Just have it open on your phone ready to show them the price.
What? $1279 for a 65" KS8000 with full HDR10 and 4K and 22ms input lag right now. What is not solid? Yes the black levels aren't OLED level but come on. If all you care about is gaming, no OLED is even close to 22ms input lag right now.

Damn good deal
I got the 60" for 1399 at Best Buy for my nephew.
Last week
He's happy with it and not really worth all the hassle of return rebuy after mounted on wall.
Took 2hours for mine to show up. However if I searched for order number I saw it.
Impatient as I am, I called them and they confirmed all was good.
Called my credit card company and they told me there is no way for them to change the address.
So I have to hope it goes through without updating the address.
Yeah, I just got the confirmation and stuff myself. Good to go.

Picked up the 65 inch version using the employee pricing. Bit of a whim purchase. Haven't told the wife yet...

Would love to get the 48 inch KS8000 since I am not sure if the 55 inch will fit in my bedroom(Dresser and mirror in the way) how much will the 48 inch be with EPP or should I wait til BF hopefully it will be in the 700 range..if anyone has an EPP invite would really appreciate one

Something like that. Maybe just replace the old tv with this and see if she notices.
8500 is curved, that is the major difference. Depends if you want curved or not. Picture-wise they're the same.

Something as big as a TV.. she'd notice ... unless the size and borders of the screen were the same. Trust me.
Hey Art, I think i can explain exactly how I got in, I just reproduced it by submitting another password reset request. Basically it seems even though you were rejected, your account is probably there anyway. Do this:
- go to perksatwork.com (not the invite link) and hit the "forgot password" link.
- hopefully if it's the same for you as me, you'll enter your email and receive a password reset email
- you'll get a link that will take you back to what appears to be the exact same registration screen that you couldn't get past before, but this time just click the help center link below the form
- you should get to a contact us page. now click search above, type samsung, get the link, hope it works!

As someone from Washington... 7.5%... "through the roof".
lol
we don't have State Income tax though so I'm 100% ok with this.
Lakerchick4life
Member
its 9.25 percent here..so yeah for me thats through the roof LOL..you are lucky..but even with tax, 700 plus tax is pretty darn good for a 55 inch TV that just came out this year..any idea what the 48 inch goes for?
BeforeU
Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
isn't curve better? and usually more expensive?
I am puzzle by the pricing here. Curve comes out to be $30 cheaper.
I already ordered KS8000 but I am thinking if I should have ordered the curve instead or not.

Please sign our petition on change.org for Oled HDR game mode and input lag improvements. Thank you!
Nope. Curve is only more expensive since TV companies have marketed them as luxurious. If they're in the same series the specs are the same (generally).

If you buy from Samsung direct you're pretty much stuck with the TV if it has more than usual light bleed or a few dead pixels? Don't get me wrong, it's a great deal but sounds like you're taking a gamble on getting a good set.
For what I paid for the 60" at Costco I could get the 65" and save myself $200. It's very tempting but not sure I want to risk it.

I still have 4 invites left. Do we know if this ends at midnight or later tomorrow?
My roommate and I are splitting the cost of the 55 inch so I'm essentially getting it for $366 dollars plus tax. So 394 in the end for me. This is such a great deal. I was thinking about waiting a bit before I got a ps4 pro but now I will definitely get one this month.
