Have you considered something like NetFlix?

I'm concerned by this on the Sony site:
http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/offers/index/ps3shopnow

At the bottom:
Instant credit and immediate use of the PlayStation Card is only available at SonyRewards.com. The $150 credit will be directly applied during the online purchase process at SonyRewards.com.

Dell checkout will of course accept the card, because it's a normal credit card, but I wouldn't expect to see that $150.

Hmmmm, no offense but didn't you realize this before you bought it? It's a new technology. It isn't mainstream yet. Look at when DVD was just coming into the market against VHS. The same type of situation.

Can someone else confirm this?

I just got approved for my Sony Playstation card 3 days ago and should be arriving in the mail soon. I was one of the unfortunate ones that didn't get the 16 digits immediately after approval. I'll try it with this deal and see if it works. If it doesn't work I'll get it from Sonyrewards.com for $249 w/Sony card +tax = $283. If the Sony card works with this deal the grand total including tax and free shipping should be $206 out the door.

Agreeing that the offer page states Dell is an authorized dealer is one thing. Accepting the -$150 from the price is another. Try it and let us know how it went. I'm sure Dell will take the Sony card number because it's just like any credit card number but WILL THEY honor the -$150 is the question.

It should be ~$180 after taxes/credit/CashBack.


Try it first and let us know if it works. I'm seeing alot of "should be, could be, and would be". Not really sure where you're getting the 180 number but if you apply the -$150 (w/Sony card) from $399 you get $249 and you take that and apply your coupons you should come to about $216 and this total includes tax and f/s.

Some of you are applying the -$150 towards $322 after applying the coupons but if Dell allows the -$150 it would only work from $399-150 first then the coupons.

Your math "skills" are suspect, to say the least.

$399 - 15% - 5% = ~$322
$322 + tax ($20-$25) = ~$345
$345 - $150 = $195
$195 - 3% FatCash (roughly $10) = $185

Furthmore, it isn't Dell that has to "allow" anything. The $150 offer is from Sony, and VenkatAtWallet has indicated onthis forum that he called and confirmed that purchasing the PS3 for an amount over $299 at a authorized retailer qualifies.

I doubt it as well, but do keep us posted. Been waiting to buy PS3 for awhile...

It showed up $322 for me. But I already have one.
