bertzz99 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Now that the Samsung Triple Cashback Promotion is officially over, I was wondering if anyone had any intel on any upcoming promotions from any of the CE companies whether they be cashbacks, free LCD's, players or other equipment or any other types of sweetener that may entice us to buy product?

Oooh good post.....am looking for a deal, Samsung would be nice... Just checked the Samsung website if I buy a Plasma or LCD before February 28 2008 I can get a free tv......seems they dont update too often.
kulfi Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 You need TVs on the market to run a promotion on. Sony and Samsung are slowly rolling out the new 2008 models but we won't see many of them before the end of June. That coincides nicely with the start of the Olympics buying frenzy so expect to see offers from July 1 2008 to August 31 2008. Till then, old models are on runout and you can pick up dirt cheap deals on them. The new stuff will be costly because of its novelty and the price after deducting the value of the freebie/offer will be around the same as a TV in the market today.
i_like_chicken Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 You need TVs on the market to run a promotion on. This is very true. Having walked around DSE, HN, JB and the Good Guys on Saturday, I realised how little TVs there are around at the moment. We are right smack bang in between models for most brands. Still, this is a great idea for a thread. I'm keen to know if anyone has any inside info.
diesel Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm sure leading into the olympics we'll see a few. especially from Panasonic who are an official sponsor
The Maso Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Free DVR/HDD from Pioneer by redemption when you buy an LX KURO and LX Receiver at the same time. Methinks they might be about to announce the new LX Kuro range with prices around $5K for the NEW 1080p 50" Plasma.
skcilroh Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Bonus DVD Recorder with Panasonic 50" plasma. Id say its the 700A model. (going on the front of JB-HIFI catalogue)
i_like_chicken Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Bonus DVD Recorder with Panasonic 50" plasma. Id say its the 700A model. (going on the front of JB-HIFI catalogue) Sure looks like it. Not a bad deal I guess, but not outstanding. How come I wasn't in the market for a TV when Samsung had their free LCD offer, or Sony had their free PS3s?
Jamie88 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 New samsungs will be in around the end of June. World digital said my 32" will be in on the 20th so unless there giving me the tv before its released id say somewhere around then
mantronic Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 New samsungs will be in around the end of June. World digital said my 32" will be in on the 20th so unless there giving me the tv before its released id say somewhere around then 32 inch 550 is already in JB chatswood.
straydog Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Do you think it is likely that Panasonic will offer any cash back deals on Plasma tv's given that their current "swim to win" promotion is running until the 24th of August? I am trying to decide on whether to buy a 50px80 now or wait a month or so.

I am trying to decide on whether to buy a 50px80 now or wait a month or so. Was thinking the same myself, do I wait to find out?
twitch1503562349 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Ahhhhh! I did the swim to win online thing and won a lumix camera. However I checked their terms and conditions and found it only applies to purchases made from 1/6 to 28/8, and I bought a pana plasma on 29/5 I guess that means I can't claim the camera.
shepp Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Sony free PS3 Promo is on again from July 1 to July 31, on any full HD panel, old or new models.
zorg1503559539 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 is this definite and will it include the new 32 inch full hd?
MrMan Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 is this definite and will it include the new 32 inch full hd? By the sounds of things yes. But the lower end models are being released first (first of next month). The higher end models including the 'Z' series which is the XBR replacement isnt due until November.
moxfulder Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Sony free PS3 Promo is on again from July 1 to July 31, on any full HD panel, old or new models. Nothing on the Sony site.....can anybody confirm...Might hold out a couple of weeks for it if true....
MrMan Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Nothing on the Sony site.....can anybody confirm...Might hold out a couple of weeks for it if true.... Of course there wont be. How many Sony TV's do you think would be sold between now & July 1 , if there was...?

Wags69 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Will be keeping my ears to the ground about this will try and harass the sony rep if i see him before july, and i might get marketing material before july 1st so will post if i do When you see that Sony rep, ask him if they will be releasing more SXRD here next year. The guy at Myer Adelaide said he heard they would be when I asked if I could buy the 60" SXRD they had demonstrating the PS3. He also said I couldn't buy it because it is owned by Sony and not for sale. Bugger!!!! Wags
i_like_chicken Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Sony free PS3 Promo is on again from July 1 to July 31, on any full HD panel, old or new models. Old models too? Really?!? That's awesome. A 46" W or X series with free PS3 sounds mighty sweet. Hopefully theres some good prices on the runout stock.
mystic_granny Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Got the promotional material at work today, applies to Every full high def model new and old. only 35000 to give away, then that's it first in first serve
