The Pro is in HDMI 2, it should work I believe...

Only way is to get to $25. I just ordered stuff I buy all the time ( deodorant), I would just buy some household items you need, lightbulbs, swiffers, etc.
Order some garbage bags or whatever that you already need. That or ship to store I think.

I got these off Amazon followed a fellow GAFers advice.
It fits perfectly and stands nicely on its own.

According to the X900E manual you need to use HDMI 2 or 3 and set them to Enhanced under Settings -> External Inputs -> HDMI signal formats
Are you connecting the PS4 Pro directly to the TV?
Mine says this too! Which is strange because up until actually going into the order details it shows the correct price of $489.i think bestbuy is glitch out, theres a switch bundle with mario kart it says 1 remaining. I purchased it and it still shows 1 remaining. Also before I checked out I noticed the price didn't add GST only HST so the total was 490. I check my order, and now the price shows 79.99.
will bestbuy honor this?
hmm they charged my card too, I hope i didn't just buy mario kart 8 deluxe lol
There probably would have been a higher chance of them honouring it if they didn't have the weekend as a buffer period haha.
I just went through and looked.
It's only charging $10 tax on the $80 for Mario Kart and you agree to pay the full $490.00
I think the best you can hope for is not paying tax on your switch which is still saving $50.
Ya, Enhanced inputs is the first thing I turned on really because I knew about it prior to getting the TV. Xbox is in HDMI 1, PS4 Pro is in HDMI 2. Xbox settings says 4K works but not 4K HDR 60fps, and when trying FH3 I didn't get HDR at all even though the game is 30fps.
Horizon/TLOU/Uncharted 4 default to 1080p when I turn on the HDR in settings, and turning it off allows the 4K resolution.
I'll look into it more in-depth tomorrow after work, I know the TV should work fine with 4K 60fps and HDR, it's in the top 3 non-OLED 2017 TVs out there it seems.

Maybe they just charged you $80+tax first because MK is in stock but not the Switch.

cross-posting from the PSN sale thread but did Sony already take down that $20 off a year of PS+?
Yeah I just noticed the tax was wrong even from checkout, even though it was still supposed to calculate it based on the supposed total with the Switch, so I have no idea what's going on there.
They're probably out of Switch consoles.
IIRC sale ended today at 8AM PDT.

yeah, they're not going to honour this. i mean, i have one ordered showing that price now, but there's just no way. but it's good to dream and hope that one of us gets it shipped to them!
It's still says 49.99 on my end.

It says $89 now on my order history page, so even if they were only charging for Mario Kart, I'm probably not getting a Switch from this order. Oh well.

Good god I want to try, but don't want them to charge me the full amount (as I have a Switch already)
The bundle is back to normal pricing $479.99 but they are still charging tax only on the bundled MK ($79.99).
That's still a decent savings, I just put an order in. Will see what happens.

When I first placed the order and clicked on order history, it initally showed $490, but as soon as I clicked on the order, it changed to $90.39 after tax. Even when I go back to the order history, its now showing that adjusted price.
here's the order summary:
i don't see the $490 anywhere now.
Point is, they're so cancelling this.

The bundle was never wrong, it was just changing to $79 in the order details. At this point it seems they're just selling more bundles than they have Switches to ship.
Don't worry. You still have until tomorrow, 8 am pt, to make a purchase.

Sorry if it's been posted, but how does the $15 credit work on PSN? Do they have to be a part of the same cart? Because I can't seem to add the PS Plus sub to my cart. Took like an hour to make it 50 bucks, too...

How I finally got HDR to work on my Samsung:
-force the xbox to output 1080p in settings
-in advanced settings, check each box individually (eg 50hz, check, exit,then 8-bit colour, checkbox, exit, and so on)
-For the Xbox, uncheck the YCC 4:2:2 box
-last step, change resolution back to 4k, auto detect.
Also, be 100% sure that the two ports you are using can handle 4K/60 HDR. I know that sounds obvious, but some TV's only have 1 port that can do so reliably, despite all the promises made on the box.
EDIT: forgot to mention, try using certified hdmi cables, like the Monoprice Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable on amazon. Shorter the length the better.

Agreed. I have mine showing up as $90. I'd love for Bestbuy to honor this but I'm seeing the same Switch unit in stock with a quantity of 1. I'm sure many have placed an order for the same unit, at a fraction of the price.
This sorta reminds me of the time Bestbuy wouldn't honor the extremely cheap PS4
that only TheMainEvent had successfully purchased

I decided to buy 2 years worth of plus, and I was charged for three somehow... what the hell?! What are my chances of getting this refunded by talking to Sony?

Zero, or they will do it "this one time as a goodwill gesture" and that means like me when you try to refund a broken game in the future they will tell you to get rekt.

Ordered one too, i know they're going to cancel it...but you never know. A switch at that price would be amazing.
I'm using the cables that came with the consoles, and I am pretty sure HDMI 1 has full 4K HDR support, and you just need to turn on Enhanced HDMI for ports 2 and 3 to get them as well.
Excellent! Now let's see about these $90 Switch orders.

Ordered one, it would be so awesome if it goes through.
Ports 2 and 3 are the only ones that support HDR, which is why you need to turn on Enhanced for them as you note.
So if you have the Xbox in Port 1 you'll need to move it to 3. The Pro in 2 should be fine.
The system is still in-stock. I guess it is just a matter of time before they cancel this.
No. Not at 79.99.
You should know this better then we would. Your Province's laws state it has to be the advertised price right? They'll be happy to charge you the normally posted price for the switch when they get them in stock as advertised.
I don't really think it makes any difference if you get to the cart and it just says mario kart for the price of mario kart and brings up the switch again later when they're in stock.
I don't begrudge any of you or expect any of you would ever cancel an order you got in because "what if" "just incase" "could you imagine"
but this RFD tier garbage always burys legitimate deals and sales in the thread
like the fact the ps+ sale is only on for another 59 minutes

Just caved and bought the Neon Yellow joy cons and the right one is busted.
Not sure whether to exchange them or use this as a sign that I don't really need them...
