WTF Best Buy! When the hell will you get the F series!??

What's the hold up with BB? Circuit city already has them in store. I've asked at a couple different locations and the stereo reps look at me like I have 2 heads and point me towards the D series closeouts. They have no idea what the F series even are, much less when BB will get them. I've got a large BB credit burning a hole in my pocket so need to buy it from BB.

 

Anyone have an internal data sheet with a concrete date?

Get yourself a new PS3 and a couple games at BB with your credit, then buy an F90BT from al-eds.com with the 18% discount. ;

Whats the code for the 18% discount? I may consider doing that since I'm not even sure that BB will even carry the top of the line F90BT.

 

Still curious if anyone has a data or release sheet for BB though.

Hmm, found the code. $983 for the F90BT with free shipping, that is tempting...

weve had the 900bt at the best buy i work at last week. usually some stores wont get them and would have to special order them. depends on their sales history and previous selling volume.

Nope, just the F500, F700, and F900. Best buy isn't an authorized Premier dealer, just Pioneer.

So it has to be soon then I would assume. I'm wondering why they aren't even online though.

Yeah, the BB I work at has had the 900BT for prolly 2 weeks already, its in every stores system, but like he mentioned, it goes by sales history. They can order it for you though.

Where on the website do you see it? I just called my BB, they are a pretty large BB in the area. They said they couldn't find it in their computers and basically they didn't sell it. This was for the F900BT

If they aren't smart enough to find it in the computer, its probably better that they don't sell and install them

They can look it up, and if they don't know how to they are prolly new. But believe me, BB has them, every day that I've gone to work for the last 2 weeks I've had to look at it and try not to drool.

yeah... we have it... i bought my 900bt at our newest nj store in vauxhall two weeks ago, my store has the 900bt and 700bt in stock now as well.. they're slowly trickling out so not every store in every district seems to have them yet. I'll get you the sku for the 900 once I get a chance to look over to my receipt. They can look it up by that for their store and their district. If i don't get a chance have them look up Model "avic-f900bt" or if they just do "900bt" for the model, make sure they select the radial for contains and not begins with on the inventory lookup. There is no model f900 as far as our stock keeping system is concerned, just part of the whole.

Don't call and get stuck with a newbie. Just go into the Best Buy and ask one of the associates in the car audio department if they have it. Best Buys in my area (Virginia) have the new Avic's but don't have them out on the sales floor yet since they are awaiting the installation of the demo displays. So do what i did and go get one before the demo is set up and they sell out

:twisted:

true that, stang. but it's worth the extra 100 just for the 4 volt preouts... isn't it 5 anyway? a 2 year warranty at a retail store is about 150 bucks too, and the ipod cable is 50. so all said and done, you might as well get it just for an extra 100....

For those who don't know, enter AVIC411 as the promo code upon checkout to receive your 18 discount. 8)

Great points and I agree. I just didn't want the OP to be discouraged from buying the F900BT thinking it was greatly inferior to the F90BT.

oh sure, FEATURE wise they're the exact same, except for the preouts. it's the extra stuff that makes it worth it.
