Actually I spoke with a Chase rep today and she said that it didnt matter what you bought...it was your first purchase over $299.99. Either way I know what I am getting.

Is there a technical improvement in the MGS4 sku? I'm a gamer, but I was seriously only buying this for the BluRay, there's not many games I can see playing on PS3 when I already own Wii and 360. Thoughts?

The main appeal of the MGS4 bundle is you get MGS4, the rumble dual shock controller and the 80gb ps3. The 80gb version lets you play ps2 games. The 40gb does not.

You can upgrade the HD yourself, search on google how to upgrade PS3 Hard drive. Read here

WRONG. There are not hardware differences.

It is a software emulation. Please do a search before you post garbage.

I only ask as I'm intending to purchase the MGS4 package, and got instantly approved for the card today... so am not sure if I'll get the card in time. What are the chances of getting it within a week?

QUOTE FROM Sony CARD WEBSITE:
Sony CREDIT CARD said:

Your first single sales receipt purchase made at a SonyStyle store, including SonyStyle.com equal or greater than $299 ("Qualifying Purchase") will automatically qualify you for a $100 Statement Credit. Statement Credit will be posted to your Sony Card Statement within 8-12 weeks from Qualifying Purchase. Offer available to new Sony Card accounts only and only one $100 Statement Credit may be earned per Sony Card account. In some instances an application may require additional processing, in which case Instant Credit will be unavailable. When you are approved for the Sony Card, you will receive your account and CVV2 number on-screen. Please make sure to make note of your account and CVV2 number as this information will not be available until you receive your card in the mail.

Additional purchases with this account cannot be made until your card is received in the mail. This promotional offer is available for new Sony Card account holders only; existing Sony Card account holders or accounts are not eligible.

THIS IS THE ONLY TERM I'VE FOUND WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO PURCHASE @ SonyStyle.

CAN SOMEONE POST A LINK TO THE OTHER Sony CC DEAL.

The MSG bundle is basically:

- Free MSG4 game
- Free upgrade from sixaxis to dual shock 3

Is that right? The 80G is 499 normally anyhow.

Are they planning to move the 40G version to dual shock 3 as well?

You're right, i did further research and found that this is the same 80GB we've always had. It's debatable whether or not it's an improvement over the 40GB, since it's still a software based solution. I'd probably get by with just the 40gb at this point.

Ok, I called the number behind my Sony card (877-717-7669) twice and spoke to 2 different people. First CS told me that offer only valid through Sony store. Seccond person told me the same thing. I then said to the 2nd CS that "I'm looking at the promotion ad and it says at an authorized retailer." He advised me to "purchase at a Sony store and not at WalMart or any other place because there is no guaranty that I will get the $100 credit." I then asked the guy if its a two different promotion and he said "I dont know."

Question; I followed the link from Sony style website when singing up for the card. Does it mean i have to use it at Sony style?

P.S: the funny thing is that I never mention "WalMart" to the guy....

P.S: Whats you guys' take on this?

Though if you do follow Sony Offer and click on the details on item 1 where it mentions the authorized dealer, it just says a single purchase greater than or equal to $299, so it seems to be realistic that any purchase anywhere more than 299 would trigger the $100 credit.

I called and spoke to a Chase rep this morning and they took a moment and clearly looked up the details on the Sony deal in their database. She was very nice and knew what she was doing from the sound of the call. I could hear her lightly mumbling through the details of the offer when she confirmed for me that it was any purchase of $299.99 or more within 45 days I think it was. She said the credit should show on the card in 2 weeks. That is what I remember anyhow...sorry I wasnt too concerned with the details as long as it met my needs...and it was a busy day today!
