shepp Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 He mentioned that in the previous PS3 giveaway Sony were budgeting on 20,000 tv's to be sold during the promotional period, but they sold 80,000. If this was correct, then the 35,000 this time could go fast. Last PS3 promo sony gave away just over 40,000 units, personally, I think they'll still have some of the 35,000 left at the end of next month, and possibly extend the promo "until stock lasts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all 35,000 are given away, Sony will probably top up this number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d00dz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I managed with the help of a receipt someone posted to pick up a KDL46X3100 (46 inch) for 2450 after cashback, an absolute steal. Dont suppose you still have a copy of that receipt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlaichtastic Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The best price I could get was from David Jones, who price matched the $2810 someone else here paid at JB Hi Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Reklaw Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 So finally bought my KDL463100 today. As I was buying two and a few other things I managed to get it for $2721. Why the weird price? - I wanted it to include a 5 year warranty for $3000. 5yr - $279. From what I am told this is below cost - I think they mentioned $2756 was the cost price. I overheard the guy on the phone to his boss saying that although it was below cost he had made money from the other purchases that I had made. I didn't feel ripped off with the other purchases, so happy all round really. I think that really shows that unless you are buying enough gear for the store to make their margin, don't be too upset if you can't get it for the same prices that others have been getting. As long as you walk out with a smile on your face that is all that matters. I spoke to three stores - JB was really good but didn't have any stock. I felt bad that I couldn't make the purchase from them, but I really didn't want to wait. HN was total shiite. Tried to offer me $3600 saying that it included the PS3. Man they were stubborn, and ultimately missed out on a sale. I ended up getting it from Savery's Retravision - didn't give me any hassle and a great experience. I'll scan the receipt in tomorrow for anyone that is interested. Can I just say that I love the set. It's my first panel - and bloody hell, I copped it from the wife when she saw how big it was. Might have to look at buying a new house to accommodate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 congrats on the new Bravia Mr Reklaw. sounds like youve done alright. would love a copy of the receipt to assist my inevitable purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur63 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Dick Smith Powerhouse sale catalogue (Melbourne stores) has 15% off TVs from 2 July - 14 July. I recall that in early June they had a similar promo going and the Sony KDL 46X3100 had a sticker price of $3,040. With the $200 cash back made it a very good price. For those of you looking at the 46" X series it might be worth checking this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 picked up a new KDL463100 today. total was $3200 including 5 yr extended warranty; ($2920 for the Sony). i tried for a lower price but to no avail. being in Perth, i found that freight costs were an issue brought up by retailers and maybe i should be happy with the what i paid. also found the salespeople are really milking the PS3 offer and are well aware of the increase in demand for the Bravias.

Black Dawg Down Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Bing Lee was advertising the 46X during Origin last night. They made it sound $3,499 with free PS3 is an absolute steal! No doubt they won't budge from that price, claiming it's a special price as advertised on tv, and on top of that you get free PS3.

As I was buying two and a few other things I managed to get it for $2721. It does show what is possible IF you buy a lot of stuff at the same time. As I said, the store made their margin from me on the other stuff. But if it helps someone save a few dollars on their purchase price - then all good. That's the point of the thread right?

Art Vandelay Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 that looks like a really good price is that an X series? may I ask which store in perth was it you bought it from?

Guest xrchris Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 it is the X series. i bought it from HN in Morley after trying out pretty much everywhere else in the area. some places are out of stock too. I picked up my 46X last night from The Good Guys Malaga for $2974 after reading an earlier post on this thread about someone from Perth getting one from there for that price. I think they are now out of stock though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline_boy001 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) JB are sure some shifty bastards, just have a look at what they have done with the KDL46X3100. Last months website price http://www.jbhifi.com.au/images/2008/05/JB...20080605_04.gif Price now on website http://www.jbhifi.com.au/images/2008/07/HE...-JB-AU-091b.jpg I guess the non haggling consumer that wants a PS3 is still getting some $200-$300 more than last month.

silvaside Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) JB are sure some shifty bastards, just have a look at what they have done with the KDL46X3100. I went into JB Macarthur today and showed them the $2810 receipt from this thread. The guy said the best he could do was 3400. I laughed and said no thanks. I had a look and the floor price was actually $3769 or something stupid Ended up going to good guys and getting it for $3279 with 4 years total warranty ($2990 without extra 3 years warranty).

You should have taken the $2810 receipt around the corner to DJs. They would have matched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
