20? Any chance of a link to their site?

From a €5 4k TV to a €20 4k android box.

Inflation is a bitch.

If you're buying a Minex x8h+ for €20, then the guy selling it is a fool or its fake.

Hate to put a dampener on people's hopes but just checked my online banking and the amount reserved for the purchase seems to have been released. Will still wait until Monday and see if I get emailed.

My orders have been updated to the "stock shortage" message. They were on preparation. Lol. There on to us all!
There will be a mass clampdown come Monday morning! Lol
Mass refunds I'd say.

Sorry, let me be more specific. Orders as in One TV and one radio. They are as one order and cannot be separately canceled so I presume both will be canceled.
What did you think? Did you not order a TV? Did u think I ordered 10?

looks good until you read this part about it at the very bottom. So a 4K playback device can only play SD content from Netflix who are one of the main 4k streamers at the moment. It's fairly fúckin useless then.

**The NEO X8-H Plus only supports standard definition Netflix. Netflix 1080p HD and 4K UHD resolution are not available on any MINIX NEO Series devices

Sorry bud, there were a few bragging about multiple orders, thought u were on that wagon, my bad..

As the OP, I paid a grand'ish, looking at the TV here in its wall mounted glory, sweet..

I'm the OP so paid a grand, looking at the TV here in its wall mounted glory, sweet..

Nope!
Just the one for 4.99, it won't arrive I imagine but if Sony manage to sort the orders I'll get the radio I ordered and paid for so there won't be real disappointment as I planned to buy the radio. Anything else is a bonus! Lol.
The grand is an excellent bargain BTW! I'll have to watch for it the next time I think.

It's the lack of DRM built into the box that causes Netflix to be restricted. The restriction is from Netflix themselves rather than the Android box.

These are going to be very well packaged TV's what with the best part of a week preparing the orders.

Maybe a fiver gets you a box stuffed with packaging. Still though, interested in seeing what happens. Its like the 50 euro iphone all over, I wonder will people start screaming blue murder for refunds this time

Theres usually always one who think its his right to get every misprice and will get his lawyer and the police after them if they dont honour it :rolleyes:

Anyone have any updates/ movement on their orders? I have not got a cancellation or confirmation since last Tuesday (4th). Still stuck on shipping tab and money still gone from my account. Strange because they have since fixed the pricing error, some of the staff must be on holidays

Your money is probably just on hold and has been released back. If takes 3-5 working days depending on bank for it to show back in account.

Yeah I understand that, just quite odd having zero communication (good or bad) from Sony in over 6 days.

ronanc1000

I do agree its very odd that Sony have not sent out emails etc on this. I thought it would be an immediate thing for them to clamp down on should refunds be commenced, or at least an email acknowledgment on the price error. Wonder what's taking so long for things to happen either way. We shall wait until tomorrow, again! Lol

puzl

My order changed to "out of stock". When you browse the store it shows as in stock.

I think they have put all the orders in limbo until they ru their response by legal and pr just to make sure they are clear with their response.

Pique

I'm waiting for someone to troll this thread stating they actually received a 4k TV for a fiver with a photoshopped invoice to boot.

The collective meltdown would be epic!
