Found it sitting in my driveway not even up against the garage door but just in the driveway. I have stairs going to my front door so they could have left it there but no. Should I ring Sony and let them know where they left it or Aust Post? I wouldnt bother. They wont do jack ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmiceter Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just wondering is the bonus PS3 offer still available when you buy a Sony TV ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijuschill Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just wondering is the bonus PS3 offer still available when you buy a Sony TV ? No it's not. Was only from 1st - 31st July and the first 35000 to buy a TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XMG Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So I called Sony again to inquire about my PS3 Claim and to my suprise the lady gave me this response, "All the PS3's have been claimed and sent out and the promotion has ended". Well after that she asked for my reg number which after she entered it into the system she suddenly realises that I'm still stuck on RECEIVED......gg Sony, they said that they will check up on it but in the end I doubt I will even get my PS3.

djilyo Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hello all, what is Sony's phone number, anyone pls? They haven't returned my documents yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdog100 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I received my PS3 last Friday morning, just as I was about to head out the door to work! It arrived before it was marked as sent on the tracking website. I've ordered some HDMI cables from EzyHD should be arriving later today so now I can finally experience the PS3 the way its meant to be. I can't believe Sony wouldn't bundle a HDMI cable with a $700 entertainment device which has a BluRay player and state of the art gaming, a composite cable is a pure insult! Even a cheaper component cable would have been better but composite is just ridiculous. If I'd paid for the PS3 I would have been a lot more annoyed. One question, I didn't get any voucher for a free game. Is this on a separate piece of paper in the box with the PS3 or do they send it separately? I got the DS3 controller which I was happy about, kind of weird that there's no controller in the box but it comes separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deukp Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 the 60gb does not come with DS3 but the 80gb will so thats probably why its not in the box. cos they lazy to swap it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tleehm Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 There is no voucher for the free game - there's a code embedded in their approval email which you need to claim after you hook the PS3 online (and download). As for not supplying the HDMI cable - my guess is not every man on the planet has a HDMI capable display (some earlier panel takes component for best input). In addition, some lucky individual may get a PS3 as a gift - but bundling a HDMI capable panel with the PS3 as a gift is a bit too much to ask for. The composite cable will work for 90%+ of the population (unless you have a 20+ year old TV), while a common HDMI cable isn't that expensive in today's standard. I got a $1K+ HDD recorder and it also only come with a composite cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog_A_lot Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 You have no chance of getting an 80gb out of this, as it says in the terms and conditions its for 40GB. Im cut that i didnt get a DS3, maybe i should contact sony and say how they should look after there customers better and why are the customers who got in first and quickly getting ripped off of ya DS3, ya reckon i have any chance?? And where are my damn receipts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I'd been checking emails on my Blackberry so didn't really pay attention to them properly, only cared that it was approved! Found the code and I'm downloading Pain right now. Can't wait for my HDMI cables to arrive, I thought they would come today since EzyHD send by Express post but hopefully tomorrow then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tleehm Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 The Pain game is 200M from what I can recall - but you may need to upgrade the firmware first (at least this happened with mine). Not sure about the size of the firmware - but it did took a while on an ADSL2+ line (synced at 7M downstream). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tleehm Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 A mate of mine also went for the PS3 redemption - and the PS3 arrived this week, but minus the controller (no DS3 or 6axis). Have anyone has such experience? He rang Sony and they said it's being shipped separately... This sounds really odd..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
