intoHDtv Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I was THAT close to buying the XBR 52 for $5300 and the bonus of the PS3 for bluray play made it a VERY tempting offer... but i went with the Kuro LX for $5450 Congrats on your purchase, what makes you decide the Pioneer over Sony?

ssschen Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Good Guys had a catalogue with the 40" Sony LCD TV with bonus PS3 going for $2499 a few days ago. I assume the 40" TV is the X-Series? Can someone who has bought one off the GG please kindly confirm? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrantic Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I know it's sad but no axs to a scanner sorry guys. It wasn't too hard to get that deal I suspect if you want to polish your negotiating skills you shouldn't have too much trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfii Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hey, just want to thank everyone for all the posts on the prices and experiences. All the info helped a lot! Earlier today I bought a 40" W at HN Waurn Ponds for $3000 including 5 year warranty, surge protector and delivery all on their 25 months interest free. I'm pretty pleased given they had it marked for $3k just for the tv alone (but really, who were they kidding?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorZero Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Already posted in the other thread, but I figure people can use this info as they will... 46X, GG Maribyrnong, 3390 delivered mid-late Jan, deposit paid Dec 31. Other stores in the area wouldn't come close to it, best was 3500 for the display model. Also got an Akari GL1510BL stand for 450: not outstanding but I'm comfortable with that.

I paid $179 for extra 2 years which I think is enough cover till what ever HD standard is out by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure which group is offering the cover.... i was not given any booklets or anything. i didn't know that i have the 2 year option, or i would have gone that way... ...

mik3 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Has anyone had any experience with stores price matching with receipt/docket evidence from other states? Am looking at the kDL40W3100 - So far the cheapest I have seen it on DTV is around the $2300-2400 mark (TV only) Has anyone got prices in this range from WA stores?

Guest Altf4 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I got it for 2200 in VIC, just mentioned that some stores were selling it for 2200 and the sales person went to talk to manager and arranged the deal. with regards to the PS3, has anyone received theirs yet? If so how long did it take for the PS3 to arrive? I know it says 28days but i assume thats the max time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elisiX Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Went to BingLee Rhodes NSW tonight. Advertised price on 46X is $3699. He said best price $3500 without me asking. I wanted 4 year warranty included. He said that would be fine. Said thanks and left. Still not sure if I should switch to an LCD from my Pio but this looks like screen alone would be $3200-3300?

I went to JB Hifi in Osborne Park they only go for $2480. The Good Guys stuck with $2480 as well. Retravision also quoted $2480. ALL HAD NO STOCK! Needed to be Pre-Orderd. I guess it's a little bit more as these units may come from the East (postage/shipping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cable_merchant Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not sure how many stores they have in other states, but I got mine from Sony Central Chatswood (40W3100 for $2399 plus a free HDMI cable (worth $70) and a PS3 blu-ray remote (worth $50)). I picked it up the same day from their loading bay in World Square, George Street, Sydney and it was an absolute Alladin's cave of Bravia LCDs, stacked to the ceiling. Whilst waiting for the sales guy to get me my cable, I hung out down in that basement with the guy who shuffles the boxes around as he happily showed me how their security system worked and we both pondered how much stock was crammed into the room. I was tempted to try a very dark Jedi mind trick and fashion a quick upgrade to a big XBR... So if people are having trouble finding stores with stock, maybe try going closer to the source and have a look at Sony Central. $2399 is their official "sale" price for the 42 inch W series and they have official discounts across the range, with a bit of room at least to get some cables etc chucked in. Sales guy called Ferdinand in Chatswood was very helpful and fixed up some problems with my order (I was buying an amp at the same time) in a very professional way. http://www.sonycentral.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 great thread guys, I am now seriously considering picking up a 40W. Can anyone who has picked one of these up for under $2300 in Brisbane send me a PM, I'd love to get a copy of the receipt or at least the name of the store/salesperson. Cheers.
