ozboyz Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 digital centre now offering the LX-608 for 9113http://www.digitalcentre.com.au/p/400913/p...-plasma-tv.html If David Jones were to match on finance terms (1/3 up front, $30 card fee, 48 monthly installments amount ingto 2/3 of 9113 plus 2.95 montly account fee assuming 8% home loan rate) then the equiv price is 8,373 in Excel =-9113/3-30+PV(8%/12,48,(2/3*9113)/48+2.95) DJ Shareholder discount takes it to around 8200. David Jones are doing four years interest free terms so there is no interest to be added. Just the 2.95 fee per month which is $141.60 for 48months and the $30 set up fee. So you could get the 60" for $9284.60 all up Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could get the 60" for $9284.60 all upAlan You need to convert back to a value today for a cash price comparision. So the 8% interest I used was a discount rate to adjust for the saving on a typical mortgage for deferring a cash outlay On my calcs its equivalent to a 8360 cash price upfront.

ozboy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Somone in Adelaide bought the LX608 for $8200 - what does that look like on DJs finance option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarson Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 New member here - thanks for the great info on this thread as I'd been looking to buy a new tv and coincidentally my old crt died on new year's day. Based on this thread I went down to HN Balgowlah yesterday and mentioned the digitalcentre $5,199 special for the LX-508 (http://www.digitalcentre.com.au/p/400907/pioneer-pdp-lx508a-plasma-tv.html) and asked if they could match it. The salesman did his phonecall to the manager and I'm the proud owner of a new LX-508. He didn't bother checking the website where the special is only valid on the no deposit , 4 years to pay plan.

Guest Voodoo Rob Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 LX508A Tried a few stores in Perth. MYERS $5,500 before even mentioning price matching. Could not meet $5,199, even with reciept. Did not try to push as he said there was not much movement at all. David Jones $6k+ before price matching. Happy to meet on the $5,550 prices. Would only do $5,199 if they were in the east (where the reciept was originated) A few more David Jones in state to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozboyz Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 so we have a price match of $5199 here in Balgowlah. So anyone who is looking for a TV in that area should get a copy of that receipt and use it in order to price match. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just picked up the 508 XDA for $3,990 on 1/3rd deposit the rest over 4 years interest free from David Jones in Melb CBD. They just price matched the Digital Centre offer of $3,990 but that offer included taking up their finance @ 17.9%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Phoenix Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 508XDA $4499.1 from Myer (price after 10% discount). $4233 from JB (price on tag). I'm glad I haven't got a PL from a bank/credit union yet then. At these prices, it would be worth it to get one soon. I just hope the Myers in my town (Dubbo) still stock them. If not, HN here might have a similar price. But wow, a 508XDA for this far under $5000 would be very awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forseti1503561347 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Jeppy, Absolutely awesome work getting this price matched. Could you please send me a copy of your reciept so I can price match in BNE as the digital centre one doesn't stand up here. Please send to spblah at gmail dot com. Thanks in advance...

Could you please send me a copy of your reciept so I can price match in BNE as the digital centre one doesn't stand up here. Please send to spblah at gmail dot com. Thanks in advance... Forseti Because I put it on 4 years interest free I only have a 'customer special order' form until they approve the 4 year deal. They told me that they will contact me on Monday the 7th re same. Like you I was suprised that they matched the Digital Centre price AND gave me the 4 years interest free terms. Digital Centre was NOT offering interest free terms. I can email the customer order form but as it's a duplicate copy the quality isn't the best. I'll have a go at it later today once I take my personal details out.

I have the order request, but also they ran it through the till and gave me a receipt for that. The receipt points out the need for the third deposit and that the remainder of the balance is to be paid in 48 equal monthly instalments and also includes the $30 establishment fee. I was not under the impression that they had to wait approval? Are you a new customer to David Jones and you have just made a new application? Then this may explain the order form.

Alan Yes I am a new customer to DJ's so had to complete an application form and that would probably explain why I have no receipt. I saw the guy that served this morning and I get the impression he is unaware that the Digital Centre price and associated finance was not interest free. So DJ's price match is better than the Digital Centre offer given the credit terms. He said that he will be in touch tomorrow re my application so I assume i get a receipt then?? More than happy to give confirmation when I have the invoice/receipt. Jeppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just price matched the Digital Centre offer of $3,990 but that offer included taking up their finance @ 17.9%. An absolute awesome price well done. I had cash for my new 24" iMac but took the DJ option as it was so cheap, 1/3 down and a small $2.95 month account fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BreakAtmo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 20,000:1 contrast is amazing, and so are these prices, but does anyone know if there will be sub-50" 1080p Kuros? I thought they would all be 1080p, then I find that the 40" and 46" panels are 1024x768:wacko:. Oh well, they'll be $2000 by the time I have the money to pay for them .
