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.
