I just saw the thread about the 160GB PS3 and did some checking. I ran across something on the sonystyle.com website that may be of interest to someone ready to buy.They have an offer you might like: They have an offer you might likeYou apply for the card online (instant review/approval), get the card # right then, order the PS3 from sonystyle using that number. Then, within 8-12 weeks, they issue a credit to your Sony Visa account for $150 (because the purchase is over $299. But wait - there's MORE!!!! Free shipping and no interest for 12 months. This is the way I bought mine and I got my credit (right on my bill) within 5 weeks. This gets you a $399 system for $249 + tax. Not bad.

Hmmm, wonder if I can get it done under the radar ... I just bought (*had* to have it) a 1kW thru-hull transducer for the boat day before yesterday that set me back a grand without installation, wife's birthday is tomorrow so I just dropped several coins on a necklace I'm hoping she'll like and I'd sure like to have a Blu-Ray player, I'll have to see what we can do. That's not a bad deal. Thanks Ray!

Just go to www.sonystyle.com and there's a link on the main page to their "No interest financing for 24 months on purchases $299.99 and over through 9/3." promo in red letters.

I went to that link but couldn't find anything referring to the money back...
I'm probably missing something

I wouldn't do this if you want to buy a house soon... more credit lines you get, the lower your score.

That wasn't necessarily pointed at you, Craig, although I can't say I didn't have you in mind. I too have a score of around 800.

Ok, but what's your "how much do the credit card companies like me?" score?

Only systems I see are the 80 GB and it is marked for "pre-order". No mention, that I saw, of the $150 (or any amount) back... It must be buried in the small print somewhere...

OK. I found the $150 back deal under "Game Special Offers"... I still don't see anything but the 80 GB PS3 still though.
Oh well, I can't afford it right now. Even at the discount amount, I just spent all of the birthday money and then some on some of my other hobbies.

I don't think that the 160 GB is out yet, I believe it is closer to November(?) if I remember correctly

Yeah, I think the 160G B doesn't come out for a few months, and for Ken if your credit score is that high, with todays housing prices in Calif, beg borrow and steal to get yourself into a home.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

"...beg borrow and steal to get yourself into a home." No doubt.

I honestly don't think I make enough money to buy a house where I live. And my job is too conveniently good for me to really want to get out of it, unfortunately.

Looks like nick found it though. Not sure about the dates of the offer, but my guess is that the 160 GB version may come out after the offer expires. Still, an 80 GB for $249.......

Weren't you supposed to link a Molsen Canadian Beer add when you said "I am Canadian". My second favorite. Welcome back to North America by the way. We will be keeping a beer cold for ya back up here.
