It’s not quite a price cut, but it’s the next best thing. Walk into your local Best Buy and you should be able to pick up a 32-inch 1080p LCD Sony Bravia and an 80GB PS3 for $1,100. That’s about $300 less than you’d pay for the two items separately.
My concerns: a 32-inch TV is a little on the small side (unless you’re in a dorm room or something), and, to pick one out of a hat, you can buy a 42-inch HDTV for just $100 more on Newegg; I’m sure you can find better deals within two seconds of using Google.
And that’s not meant to disparage the PS3 in any way, but, given Sony’s current situation, I think it’s gonna be a little while before we see a proper ($50+) price cut.
Whoa, huge typo in the headline. I was like $11,000 is not a good deal at all.
Exactly, I had to read the headline twice. Good time!
Yeah you might wanna fix that…
The 32″ XBR6 is a great TV. Of course you can get a bigger TV for less, but I assure you it’s not the quality of a Sony XBR6. Everyone is always looking for a reason to bash someone else. Go ahead and get something off of a 3rd party web site and deal with all the bull you never want to deal with, like return policies, warranty, and CUSTOMER SERVICE! By the way, Best Buy also offers 3 years no interest financing on that package. If you want to buy a 32″ TV for half the price, they have those too.
@ Joe – while I agree with your points almost wholeheartedly, I do think it’s worth noting that Newegg, the site mentioned in the article, is a very good ‘web only’ company, with fast shipping, decent customer service and good returns policies. Personally for something like a TV I’d prefer to see it, and buy it, in person, even if I end up paying a little more.
You and the guy before you sound like astroturfers caught in an astroturfing arms race. The fact that both the stores you two work for spend money on this crap and recoup the overhead at the cash register means I should look somewhere else.
