GrantleyBuffalo Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Says 2888 here http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/G6248, but on the search page it mentions the 360 with the px and not the pz. The DSE site is a pile of poo. Luckily their actual, physical PAPER catalogue says "Free XBOX 360 Arcade with every TV over $1299". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazzad Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Doesnt it also say the free xbox is only if you pay stickered price? Anyone know if they stick to this or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillardm Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I dont think it says you have to pay stickered price. I am sure I can negotiate something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormer Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Doesnt it also say the free xbox is only if you pay stickered price? Anyone know if they stick to this or not? I'm not exactly sure on that, but i do remember when i was looking previously for a plasma from Dick Smith when they had the "free" Tom tom sat nav and the belkin surge protector they weren't very keen at all to negotiate much off the stickered price. The only way they were really prepared to was if i didn't take the sat nav and the surge protector. I could be wrong but i don't think there'll be a great deal of room for negotiating on the stickered price when you take the xbox as well. Maybe a little if that, but not much.

diesel Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Can the Wii play bluray and upscale dvd? No...the Wii is based on SD DVD technology, but doesn't even play DVDs Edited November 28, 2008 by diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideit Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Yeah I had a talk to someone from Dick and they said he wont move much on the ticket price if u want the xbox. That's what I got told to. Either pay $2888 for the 50PZ800 and get the XBox or he could do it sans XBox for $2600 - of course you get the Wii in either case.

kulprit1503561496 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Has anyone noticed in todays Courier Mail there are 3 ads for this promotion page after page. First is Myer with the 800a at $2799, videopro at $2795, then JB at $2499. However the JB ad states 2 HMDI rather than 3. Is this a 50pz80a, and has anyone had any experience with how these compare to the 800a? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it stacks up against the 800a, though for the relatively small price difference between the 2 i'd go the 800a seeing as i haven't really seen a bad word about it and i don't have a bad word about it.

aeon1503559541 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The weird thing about the prices is the 50PZ80 actually retails for less than the 46PZ800 - so with the difference in prices, it would seem logical that the 50" being advertised is the PZ800... however, with advertising, logic can get thrown out the window.

kulprit1503561496 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Bought my 50pz800a today and will send my receipt of Monday for my free wii. Guess I'll expect it in March sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster1503561091 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yep it is the 50pz80a Correct!.

Talkin' to sales at jb today he explained that basically the only difference in the 80 as opposed to the 800 is the cosmetically different case, the screen,electronics etc are identical, so a matter of visual preferance, both made in the same factory "china" as opposed to the 850 which is made in japan, as is reflected in the price difference. Hn at watergardens has the pz80a at $2397. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that might not be overly important to some people and even others will find the 80 a better looking set but for mine the little extra is well worth it.

graemelow Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Someone stated on the Whirlpool forums that Panasonic won't have the Wii in stock until February. on the panasonic forms and the cards in store, it states they wont be sending them out till after february 1. One of 2 things going on here, either nintendo dont have enough stock at the moment, and have contrcated to supply only in february, OR panasonic dont want to create the expectation that people who buy a plasma will get the wii before xmas and thus have a crissy present for their kids - ie a road to disapointed angry customers, and will send them out earlier anyway.

Just bought 50PZ800A for $2689, plus $429 for full warranty (5yr fully covered), plus delivery and surge protection board - Total $3200 on 12 month deferred payment GE interest free. GG's Essendon. I went to HN(3200-12mnths int free but not deferred,Ticketed price $3299-dreaming..), JB(ticket price 2643, with extras could do for $3250 not deferred), DSE ($2888 ticket price, 12 mnths int free-no deferred, free xbox arcade, total $3150). DSE had a notice up saying that X-box only was valid at ticket price also! If I had of payed cash could have gotten them all down a fair bit I think, but having deferred payments means when I get my tax return next year, just pay it off in one hit.. With the Nintendo Wii, salesman said that if I enter the claim on the website and then send the receipt off express post tomorrow, good chance I'll get it b4 Christmas. They send you a tracking number straight away and the earlier you claim the earlier you receive... He said Sony when they had their PS3 giveaway had a delay in sending them out but Panasonic were doing it as per above... Now just waiting for delivery this arvo - same day delivery for $40 isn't bad! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Johnson Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Bought the 50PZ800a for $2690 from DSE with the free XBox (I think that finished today). Looking forward to the Wii too. I want a PS3 ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kulprit1503561496 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 That's a good price with the Xbox, as soon as i wanted to bargain from their $2888, they took the xbox out of the deal. Fair enough I got it for just under $2500, but to you that means the xbox worked out at $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
