PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
Buy the Sony BDP-S300 for $299.99 at SonyStyle.com
Pay for the Sony BDP-S300 with a new application for a Sony Visa Card. Get 12 months no interest financing and a $100 account credit (after qualifying purchase of $299 or more -- the Blu-Ray player by itself will put you over the top). The effective price of the Blu-Ray player is then $199.99
Same thing with the 40 GB PS3 results in a $299.99 price.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
Does SonyStyle online charge sales tax? Places like that piss me off. I mean, Amazon doesn't, why should anyone else? 
p.s. shipping cost?

It must be the honor system, Sony must not trust the public on reporting the internet sales to their state.

If there is a Sony retail store in your state, they are required to charge sales tax.

Yeah, it's kind of the law, not really their choice. I pay sales tax when I order from Amazon, because they have a distribution hub here in Kansas.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
What the fuck? It said it would give you the card number, etc on screen instantly, but it didn't. It said I'd be notified by mail within 30 days. !?!?!

Not worth the trouble for a $75 discount. I've had the same card with a $10k limit for years. Besides, it says it takes 8-12 weeks for that credit. Why!? It's all electronic in this case. It should be on your account as soon as you make a $299+ purchase. assholes.

No offense intended, but that doesn't really mean all that much in terms of a credit check. There are plenty of other variables that are taken into account. They probably only give instantaneous credit to those with excellent or near-excellent credit scores. Another possibility is that some data from the credit report didn't quite match up with what was in your application so it got flagged.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
There is also the possibility of some one retuning the PS 3 and then getting the credit and yet in reality never bought anything, so that is why the credit takes about 6 or 8 weeks, It would be nice if the credit would be automatic but that is not the case by the way don't shoot the messenger.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
Well, they actually called me just now. Approved me and said I'd get the card next week. I guess I can wait that long to order, assuming the deal is still good til then. I'm gonna be pissed if I finally place the order and that promotion is no longer valid.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
Go on the Sony site and print the promotion it will have the date on your paper,
you should had gotten 3 numbers and the credit card number even if they will send you the credit card in the mail. Believe that the 3 numbers is what gives you the credit in the amount of $100, give them a call back if you have to.
Good luck.

Re: PS3 Discounted at Sony site, 25% off
FWIW, they say 6-8 weeks for the $100-back credit, but it actually only took ~1 week for me (to my pleasant surprise  ) when I bought the PS3 back in late December.
Also, if you're in a rush to use it, you could ask them to get the card to you via next day delivery or something like that. Just explain your situation politely, and they'll probably be happy to help w/ that. That's what I did.
