Promotion Time

[ugoagogo 0]

In the next couple of weeks the four majors are progressively starting their sales promotions up to christmas.

Panasonics is different but the rest have been there done that.

I can't see anyone waiting until after christmas to buy a tv now.

Sony's 3-year warranty promotion goes on till Dec 31 2009. Boxing day looks like a safer bet for those who would want one of their TVs.

so what are the promos? im thinking about buying a 50x10a soon, but there is no rush and im happy to wait for a better price. (READ: not for new tech, im not interested in waiting for the next best thing. i want a 50" tv for around $1500, that is the only criteria, money being the main factor.) would love to have something like a xbox360 ot ps3, but both would be a bonus and not really a key factor. (have an original xbox as a media center atm.)

Well now

I am looking to replace my 3 year old 55inch Sony KF55E200 3LCD "olcos" HDTV

($3280 from Sony Central in 2006. RRP $4999)

With a Samsung UA55B8000 Series 8 55inch LED TV which is for sale at WEBPRICE.com.au

for a nice tidy $5720 plus delivery charges. (RRP $7999)

I am looking forward to the improved PQ as I upgrade from 1366x768 to 1920x1080 resolution.

and using considerably less power from a powerfull 100W rear projection globe to full color LED backlighting

Regards

sorry nothing on the hd models.....you will probably go for a ' s ' series instead

I wonder what Pana will do this time. I'm betting on the "free Wii" to make a comeback.

No problem - thanks for the tip

Can I ask you do you think it would be worth getting rid of a 32" Panasonic HD CRT in preparation for these deals? As in will be such a good deal that you 'have to get it'

I dont know what you would get for a crt tv these days.....but if you are after a full hd plasma there has never been a better time.

If its a 42" your after definately.....if its a 50" up then probably

No idea what models are out there but I am looking at a home theatre to go with the new V10 so I might wait until the promo comes out i guess.

in plasma yes....no lcd in promotion

the choice of bonus is yours ( until limit reached )

as a sales person I would prefer they give away a free tv to

This is good news. I am planning to get a new 50" panasonic before Xmas, and this will help me to make up my mind.

I won a free 32" 1080p LCD from pana recently when I got my tz7 camera.
