bLah.. anyway to get free shipping from sonyrewards?

total shipped for me is 283.50. should i bite. they gave me too much money anyway

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.

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.

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)

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.

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
