At least one dealer clams to have the 65in in stock
BRAVIA KD65AF8 65 inch OLED 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart Android TV
I wonder how long it will take for the AF8's to get the DV update
As I had a bit of spare time I had a chat with the seller above

Hi Jxxxxx
When will the Sony 65AF8 get the update needed for Dolby Vision
Have you purchased one from us yet?
ME No but I am thinking about it - I am worried though the A1's took about a year to get the update and then it does not work with Oppo players only the Apple tv box
The AF8 will be Spring / Summer, they rolled out the update to older TVs first.
ME That,s the problem the same was said last year for the A1's it took far longer
Just but that’s because they were working with Dolby. Effectively Sony is the only company to be allowed to put the Vision software on a none Dolby chipset, that’s why there was a big delay.
Egos & money!
Me Ok then if I brought the AF8 and the update did not come come by Sunday 23 September (That is the date the summer ends) could I return the Tv for a refund ?
Ha ha, I would suggest to order from Sony direct. Same with any software from any supplier, be that Apple, Sony or Microsoft.
ME ??
We wouldn’t take a TV back based on a software update date.

My take on this is it is not fair on the buyer, the set is offered for sale with the promise of an update to allow DV in the future. If the update does not come or if it is not fully functioning the buyer takes the hit while the seller walks away saying "nothing to do with me it is down to Sony" Even though the seller is happy to say the set will get an upgrade when it is brought.
Then again that is only my opinion I am sure others will disagree
