Home audio & video forum: Please help: Pioneer pdp-5060 vs pdp-505mx (pro505mx)

I called and acted like i was a new customer inquiring about the product. They said they could sell me exactly what i bought for $3799. These guys are a bunch of clowns. They sent me an hdmi cable recently as my first cable (rca) was to short.

I have not yet attempted to have the tv installed, the area that it is going is still under construction. I hope this was not a big mistake, so far my gut tells me it was.

I need to go home and see if i have the cards that others were speaking of, don't remember seeing them in the box.

Cancel it immediately. I did further research and the complaints outweigh the praise 5 to 1. Stay away from these guys at all costs!!! I feel like an idiot, checked there reputation AFTER I PURCHASED. google them and you will see what i mean.

I called Pioneer Electronics today to ask about the Pro 505MX and I was told by a customer service representative (Phil) that he had just recieved a memo informing him that Pioneer will not warranty this equipment. He told me that this equipment did not meet Pioneeer's U.S. standards and was released in Latin America. He also mentioned that there may be some legal action taken by Pioneer against these retailers.
He recommended the PDP 5060HD or the elite PRO 1160.
I am very disappointed with pricemad.com and their dishonest sales tactics. If they would just tell the truth about the equipment,warranty and price I could have made an informed decission. I cancelled my order by e-mail but their reply did not acknowledge my cancelation, it asked me to call. I never even received a confirmation of the change from the PDP 5060HD to the PRO 505MX. I call pricemad.com and they said it already shipped and when I asked for the tracking number, they did not have one. What is the deal with these guys? Now I have to call the credit card company and try to cancel through them. This was my first major internet purchase, what a disaster.

They are now advertising the Elite Pro 1130 for $3888. This is a much lower price than any other seller. I expect they will try the bait and switch on any order attempted on the 1130. Spending this much $$$, is it really worth saving a small % to get a product that you know so little about and which comes with no manufacturer's warranty?

Hi my husband and I just ended a project term in the U.S a few months ago, at the last minute we decided to purchase a flat screen to take back to our home in the U.K, I've shopped nonstop... for two days and compared and talked to I don't even know how many vendors, the most helpful team were pricemad.com, it was also extremely important for us to get a definite day of delivery and they shipped it exactly as agreed! I should mention that their advice as to what TV set to get and their experience with international buyers also helped us a lot with our decision and here we are after the European soccer championship and lots of beers in front of our fabulous screen! thanks (especially) John!!!! and the pricemad.com team we appreciate everything, you rock and if we were living in the States we would have definitely do business again!

I think pricemad.com is allowing their sales people to charge whatever they can get the customer to pay for the PDP 505MX and calling it the PRO 505MX.
I was promised the PRO 505MX and received the PDP 505MX like everyone else. When I called customer service and informed them that I had received the wrong model they placed me on hold and transfered me to the sales rep.. He said that it was the PRO 505MX and when I asked why nothing on or in the box identified it as a PRO 505MX he quickly avoided the question and refered to the video card. Nothing in the box refers to a PRO 505MX and it is configured just as you described the one you received. It is a PDP 505MX nothing more. I think these guys are pretty slick. May be some letters to the NY City Attorney's office will stop them from using these tactics.

I cancelled my order. AMEX called to verify for fraud and I told them not allow the charge. They notified Pricemad that the charge would not be honored.

I am going to play it REAL safe. I am buying the Samsung 50" at BestBuy for $3100. I cannot afford the $4900 the 5060 Pioneer costs in the store. he reviews for teh Samsung are solid.

Great place to buy this model and value for the money but I must inform everyone that the description on Costco.com is not accurate. I have the owner's manual and own this unit and the specs just do not match up between Costco's description and the owner's manual (i.e., only one component input not 3 as described). Amazing how much e-chater the PDP505MX has generated. Keep the postings coming. Next, SAMS Club will offer this model.
