andrewjb Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hey all, Ended up getting my TV from the Sony Clearance Centre at Homebush in Sydney. 2250 for one of the superceded W series models, 46 inch. My one caveat is that some of these TVs are factory seconds, so I suppose it depends on how you feel about buying repack stock. I was assured that the repaired stock had faults that did not relate to picture quality, but in the end who knows. I guess I will have to trust that the repairmen at Sony did a good job. A 1 year warranty is included and you can upgrade to a 5 year warranty for 179 which could give you peace of mind. And I was assured that the TV was still eligible for the PS3 offer, and I'm happy to confirm this when it (hopefully) arrives. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvaside Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 You should have taken the $2810 receipt around the corner to DJs. They would have matched it. I actually went into DJ's and their RRP was $4099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revreboot Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks to all for your posts. Today I finally made a purchase and perhaps I can help out others by posting my price research. I am in Melbourne so this should help those Melburnians who have been getting relatively bad prices. I was shopping for the best deal between Sharp and Sony brands and finally decided on the Sony KDL46W4000 for $2700 at Camberwell Electrics (no. I didn't buy anything else or get the extended warranty). If you have never heard of this store I highly recommend you call them last. I have used them for all sorts of electrical appliances and they have never failed to beat any genuine price! Anyway, other prices I got were as follows Sony KDL46X3100 - $3000 - Camberwell Electrics Sharp LC46D83X - $2800 - Camberwell Electrics Sharp LC46D63X - $2500 - Good Guys, JB, HN Sharp LC52PD7X - $2700 - JB Sharp LC46PD7X - $1850 - Retravision at Knox (they have about 6 and want to get rid of them. This was almost too hard to refuse.) Homecast HT8000 PVR - $540 - Good Guys These were all over the phone offers except the actual purchase and the Homecast purchase which I ended up getting from JB for $250 because I didn't want to wait for GG to get an order in. I will copy this post to a number of relevant threads and hope it helps someone. Thinking of starting a business on the side as a retail broker. I'll take 10% of what I save you on the ticket price. Anyone interested?? Cheers, REV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abomination Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Picked up my KDL46x3100 at JB in Toowoomba for $3104 plus $279 for additional 4 year warranty. But they also threw in a $90 surge protector and a $70 HDMI cable, so the price for the TV on the receipt is $2946. Myer would only come down $3200 and HN would only match Myer. We're lucky up here as everyone has plenty of stock of the Bravia's Considering you get a PS3 as well, not too bad in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycl0ne184 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Noticed many people going for extended warranty. Is it REALLY necessary for a brand like sony? if the panel dies it is generally not repairable and it is mega expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberdog100 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I ended up getting my 46X for $2,980 with extended warranty to 3yrs and delivery from Harvey Norman, I'm pretty happy, I was dead set on not going over $3k and managed to get in under budget and made it just in time for a PS3 :-) I got DJ's to price match with the receipt fro JB HiFi that was floating around here for $2,810 but with the extended warranty it was over $3k and they wouldn't budge on the warranty cost. All in all, a lot of running around and phone calls but it was well worth it I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
