Link to apply for the card and then purchase from an authorized retailer

Here are the actual details about the promotion(s).
This information is given by a very knowledgeable CSR at Sony (who was even reading out the URL's)

============================================================================================
1. http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/gateway/?offerlink=sr150nowps3

a. Apply for the Playstation credit card.

b. Receive the credit card number and CVV2 number upon approval.

b. Receive your Playstation credit card by mail.

FYI it looks like you have to buy it from sonyrewards.com and they'll charge you shipping as stated in fine prints of that link.

This is a good deal, but is it any different from the Sony Credit Card deal which gives you $150?

It's different. You have to buy the PS3 from SonyRewards in order to get the $150 credit. It's instantly discounted when you click on the link to redeem it. Only downside is they charge $34.01 for shipping (that's to me). Another thing I've noticed is that if you spend $299 or more on a single transaction, you get 0% financing for that purchase for 12 months.

I hope they don't charge tax? If they charge tax separately, that would make the whole purchase $283.50 + tax on $399. So total cost would be $316.42.

Apparently you can buy the PS3 at a B&M location, so long as it's an "authorized retailer". Depending on your sales tax rate, it could be cheaper to pay tax on $399, not pay shipping, and get the $150 as a statement credit.

I'm going to wait for free shipping; as they offer it often on the Sony site.

this sounds like a good deal, but how about getting it from eBay and get 25% CashBack, which would make it to about $300. Then, the dollar difference is not that much now, but you don't have to apply for a new credit card. I got it from eBay when the CashBack was 30%, so it was even cheaper. Thanks for posting though.

** I was half right it's a typo in their terms. They list it as 80GB then the next line they list as 60GB delivered**

Where did you see 80GB? In the fine print it says 60GB (If my eyes are reading correctly)

not bad at all, but i'd feel stupid having a ps3 and a 360. i wouldn't be able to decide between the two when i buy new games.

but the fact that ps3 plays bluray makes it more tempting.

They didn't. Tax was included. This is a good deal depending on how you look at it. The $150 credit is instant. There's no waiting for Sony to credit you $150 or for microsoft CashBack to clear. That takes what, 60 days I'm not sure so don't quote me on that. Total for me out the door was $343 because I got a game with it. Needed something to put it over the $299 promotional offer so I have 12 months to pay it off w/o interest.

Buying it from a B&M with tax only saves me $3. That's not including gas to go to the store and time spent to buy the PS3. And it's an 80gb PS3.

The Playstation Card is having 2 promotions. 1 for the blue ray and the other one is for buying at ANY authorized dealer. I'm thinking of signing up for the other promotion so I can "try" and buy the $199.99 PS3 Pirate Cbean. Little Big Planet bundle. (if I'm invited and can buy on Amazon). So it'll come out to $49 dollars with no tax and free shipping. *crosses finger*

Where can we see the offer which says 0% on purchases $299 or more? Also, is $299 before S/H or a total charge? TIA
