tHiNg Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thats an awesome price for the 55". Shame im not that blown away by Sammy's 3d implementation. Way to much ghosting for my liking. Yes I was going to buy online for that price but now I'll pop round the corner to the Good Guys. in DJs I have seen the 55" converting Avatar to 3D and I thought it looked OK - not a lot of depth but no ghosting. Behind it was a 46" playing Monsters & Aliens on a 3D blu ray. This looked fantastic and again, no ghosting. I dropped by at JB HiFI and they were playing M&A on a standard blu ray player (don't ask me why ) and there was definite ghosting on a 46". So hazzard, did you see the Samsung with a 3D player or am i just oblivious to poor IQ? (No offense meant, just curious). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also have been playing the normal Blu-ray of Monsters v Aliens using the 2D->3D conversion on a 3D TV whcih wouldn't have looked as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheekywun Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Got the 55" Samsung last week from JB HiFi for only $4800 which included 3yr warranty, 1.8m 3D HDMI cable, 2 x Belkin 4 outlet surge protectors (each with $75000 insurance coverage) + the free 2 x pairs of 3D glasses + 3D Blu Ray disc (in seperate package delivered with the tv) + also have sent away for the free 3D Blu ray player and extra 2 sets of glasses. Pretty good deal I thought. Now just need to start sussing out what surround sound system to get for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGirl Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Got an email to say my Samsung gift had been approved today but they only give two days to pay for your shipment from that email. So check your email regularly I just came on specifically to let people know this was the case as it sounded like if you don't pay the postage within that time they will probably cancel the promotion on you, which sucks. Nice one Pheggie for getting there before me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.ZOIDBERG Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Its hard to get the promotion deal it seems if your TV is not in stock yet hey - 63" Plasma Cheekywun may I ask why you decided to go the LED over the Sammy Plasma?

RonSyd Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 The samsung promotion hotline has been engaged non stop all day yesterday and today so far.What is going on? Engaged constantly for 3 days so far. I emailed them a couple of days ago though still no response. That aside if people are curious on prices for LED UA46C8000 got mine with additional 4 years warranty for 3700 @binglee who were so much more helpful than HN. They even threw in some soccer ball which was apparently part of some other promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overlytaxed Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It has been over a week since I sent the original receipt. Does anyone know if samsung respond to say they have received it? I sent my receipt into Samsung via Express Post two days ago and received this message today from them today. "We have received your original purchase receipt as part of your claim in the Samsung Score a Gift Promotion. Subject to Samsung approval, if you are deemed a valid claim, you will then need to pay for the postage and handling in full. If you are deemed valid, your Bonus and your original purchase receipt will be despatched via Australia Post to your registered delivery address after at least 10 weeks." I interpret this as an indefinite arrival of my BR player and two extra glasses. Essentially what they're saying is: gift within 10 weeks of being verified=no way, gift delivered sometime after 10 weeks of verification = indefinite. I've sent Samsung an email requesting the possibility of myself paying an extra fee on top of P&H in order to have the goods dispatched via courier. If I receive a response I will post it.

Cheers I got that same email today also. How confusing do they have to make it by writing that. Seems way to long to wait ten weeks maybe until they deem it valid and then give you the option to pay the P & H. The last time they had a bonus promotion I heard of people getting theirs within 2-3 weeks. Anyway, let me know when they get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berardo Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Sammy verified they got my receipt 2 weeks ago and need to verify my application. This may take a couple of weeks and then about ten weeks for player to arrive!!! Screw that - waited 5 weeks for TV and then another 14 weeks for player - a total of 19 weeks WTF!!!! So went to sony central today and got the new sony bdp s470 3d bluray player for $230 - stick that and smoke it samsung. Also there will be a few 3d bluray releases over the next month and I will be able to watch them as intended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starby1503563931 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Today I posted off my receipt showing full payment. It was an original duplicate of the receipt. I am interested to see how they handle this. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlytaxed Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Today I posted off my receipt showing full payment. It was an original duplicate of the receipt.I am interested to see how they handle this. Cheers Hey Starby "Original duplicate" is that like "genuine vinyl" ie, fake leather? Just having fun mate! Oh well, looks like there's a few of us (im)patiently waiting. Once you take into account the time it takes to become a valid claim, a minimum 12 weeks dispatch time is ludicrous. All retailers have them in stock now. I was thinking of doing what Berardo done, but I also have a PS3. Apparently Sony will release a software update enabling the PS3 to display movies in 3D. They have done it for the gaming side of it. Beggars belief why they haven't for the movie side of it.

The Sony player rocks - the 3 d MBA is sharp and comes out the screen - not like 2d to 3 d which just adds depth. Also the bra via network video service is awesome - reruns of tv shows and many other channels - literally thousands of shows not just you tube. Samsung should learn something from this rather than their crappy few widgets. I highly recommend this player if u can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmbgo Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Thanks. I have not got the TV yet. Ive only put down a deposit. When the TV comes ill make sure I get it btw, the starter pak is a small box on its own. is it inside the tv box or handed seperately? ? We purchased ours from JB Hi Fi, in mid May, we sent off the receipt the next day and on the 25th of may we received the following: "You claim for the 'Bonus' has now been deemed valid by Samsung. You will now be required to pay for your postage & handling in full with a valid MasterCard or Visa credit card before your 'Bonus' can be dispatched along with your original purchase receipt.

Please ensure you complete this payment within 2 days of receipt of this email so we can process your 'Bonus'.

I tried emailing them on 4/6/20101, but didn't get a reply. I've also tried calling but only got an engaged signal. I'm disappointed and had I realised this would take so long I would have bought something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamon01 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi all, like a few others have already mentioned I rec'd conformation of the bonus and sent away my postage payment on the 18th June 2010. I just called the promotion contact line today to confirm all was good and the guy advised me the first shipment would be arriving in Australia next week. I asked him when my promo goods would be delivered and he said he couldn't tell what shipment they were coming in but they are starting to come through now. Fingers crossed that it will not take the 10 weeks that was originally quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
