Picked up the Sony KDL52XBR for $5300 from Radio Rentals in Adelaide.

Was only after the 3100 but they had XBR in stock and matched my best price.
Everywhere else was dearer or would be waiting til Feb.

In the Panasonic prices thread there have been reports of that model being picked up for just under $2k.

DSE Erina and Bing Lee tuggerah both have them for $2000

Wow !! - thanks Refractor and DriftR

Every time I think I see a 'good' price there is a 'stunningly good' price somewhere else !! I'll check the Panasonic thread as well.

Cheers,

Ed.

I went to search for the best price possible on the Sony KDL52X3100 Including 5 Years Warranty and managed to achieve $5050 all up. I am looking to purchase within a week or so and just wondering has anyone managed a better price?

The joys of buying technology... I can only imagine what is going to happen with Samsung (the sponsor of the Olympics) and TV prices as we approach August..

:-)

As my old man used to say, "If you like it, can afford it and its the best product you want - then go out today scr*w down the sales person and be happy that you did the best you can on the day and enjoy".

Hi mate,

Any chance u could send me the receipt you got??

I managed to get the Sony KDL52X3100 Including 5 Years Warranty for $5150 from BingLee Sydney, NSW and am picking it up today. The HDTV has a manufacture date of December 2007 so it is the new batch that just came in.

Congrats, that's a very good price if I may say so.

Hi Pump,

Could you please tell me if it is made in Japan?

Yes it is Made in Japan.

Just picked up a Sony KDL32D3100 for $1,420 + $89 for additional 2 yr extended warranty from JB Hi-Fi in Townsville. Was $2,300 in September 07 from Harvey Norman then $1,600 from Retravision & JB Hi-Fi in December 07. Sony RRP on their site is $1,899.

Just picked up a Samsung PS50P91FDX from Clive Anthony's in Brisbane for $2600 +$359 for extended warranty to 5 years +$41 for delivery for a round total of $3000

Nice price - did they have one in stock, or do you have to wait?

Is the free LCD offer definitely over? I thought I'd read something somewhere about an extension, but I'm not sure.

Apparently it has been extended till the end of feb, I've read on a couple of sites. I've filled out all my paperwork for it and it appears to have been accepted, so now I'm playing the waiting game.

They have a couple instock, but there delivery drivers are booked out till early next week and they aren't delivering over the australia day weekend. Not that I blame them

Just picked up Samsung LA32R81BDX at JB HI-FI in Warringah Mall, Sydney for $1164.
Additional 2 years warranty for an extra $89
Just asked for price and was happy with this.
BL wanted $1200.
Not much different but all helps.

All going great so far

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a receipt for the 46x3100, 4 year additional warranty included for around $3,500?

j.morihovitis@gmailDOTcom

Thanks!

DJs Bondi Junction - $5100 for the Pioneer LX508

That's a decent price but not the best value in town. Bing Lee had a Sharp 37" marked at $1299 and would have closed for under $1200 with negotiation.

Or you could have gone and got a Sony 40" V3100 (1366 X 768) for around $1500 (or $1600 with 5-yr warranty).

Thanks

me too please

thank you very much!

Hello,

For anyone who bought the KDL32D3100 for a good price (around Brisbane area if possible, if not, i'll try my luck anyway) and is willing to send me a photo of their receipt please email me! test_317@hotmail.com

Cheers guys!!!

hadn't noticed this thread before.

picked up a Sony Bravia KDL40W3100 for $2150 last week from The Good Guys Browns Plains in QLD.

Receipt is here for anyone that wants it for price match purposes.

edit: the price was negotiated and agreed on before I agreed to the extended warranty, it was not a condition of getting the price, just fyi.

Thanks Champ

Wow.

Under 5K in 3 months easy. That's when I'll consider

Last night I got a great price on the Samsung 58inch P9 (PS58P91FDX) at myer city sydney with an extra 3 years warrant y(5 years total) and delivery all up for $5000. I'm gonna head in today and put a deposit on it. Also as you guys know, you also get the bonus 26inch lcd since samsung extended the promotion till end of feb. No other place I tried could beat that price so far.

That is a really good price, let us know if you go threw with the deal so I can add it to the wiki.

Same deal possible also at HN indooroopilly. The 58 inch is on display and is just beautiful.

Dick Smith Powerhouse in Auburn has this one for $1298

Got the Bravia 40X from Powerhouse in Nunawading for $3000 yesterday.. pretty happy with that
Just not enough cash for the extended warranty though. Apparently I've been one of the only ones not to get the extension.. oh well.
HDMI cable, delivery, extended warranty, all turned down Guess they wouldn't have made much money from me

I was going to get it from Soundcorp in South Melbourne but they were out of stock until end of February. So basically told the guy at DSP that Soundcorp was selling it for $3k and he more or less said if you have the cash they could match it.

Sony Central Sydney had the 40X marked at $2999 anyway. There's a scanned DS Powerhouse docket on the HDTV prices Wiki for the 46X at $3100 (panel only).

Keeping that in mind, I would suggest that you show the scanned docket to the PowerHouse guy and take the 46X for $3100 or use their 14-day change of mind policy to give it back and price-match Myer, Harvey Norman or Good Guys.

Good luck !

Went into Myer Perth Hay Street today. Negotiated $3100 on the 46 inch Samsung F81. Now if the settlement for my house goes through (already overdue) I'll be able to go and get it.

Went with the Union Shopper service and they found me a Samsung la40m81bdx for $1932 plus $40 delivery. I'm in Melb.

That's a great price and a good TV too. Hope you don't have to wait too long for your free 19" LCD. Enjoy your M81. Which store did they contact to get that price ?

Also, can a non-union member get any help from Union Shopper ? If not, I have a friend who is a PSA member who may be able to use the service.

Myer had the tv for $2080, which I thought was a good price. But then I found that Digital Centre had it for $1990. I gave the Digital Centre price to the Union Shopper and they found the $1932 price at Retravision.

The telly is on back-order, and should be received in around a week or so.

A non-union member cannot use the Union Shopper service. To use it you need to register with them over the phone, but to do so you need your union membership details. That said you could use your union member friend to buy the telly for you, and for you to pay the relevant costs.

The good thing about the service is that you can use it for practically anything you like (fridges, cars, holidays etc).

Since you haven't bought it yet, check out the Samsung F81 thread. They have receipts for $2700 for this TV from Myer Macquarie Centre Sydney and someone price-matched Myer Liverpool for $2700. You should be able to get a similar deal from Myer Perth.

Good luck !

I'm a contract employee so I can't join a union but it's good to know that I can still get it through my friend. Thanks for letting me know about the other way of getting these items.

By the way, Myer Sydney City only had the 40" N81 for $2088 so it looks like Melbourne prices are lower. Even if you have to wait for a week, the deal is worth the wait.

DSE north ryde (macq centre) have the TH42PX7A for $1298. Only 4 units left when I was there (3pm). I went t JB and got them to better DSE's price. Bought it for $1480 with 5 years extended warranty.

Only thing I don't like about the panasonic is the weird shaped stand (since it doesnt swivel by itself, i'll have to awkwardly position it on a lazy susan).

I was just wondering, If I purchased the Bravia, am I still eligiable to receive the free Ps3 redemption? or its too late now....is Sony likely going to reintroduce the same offer in the foreseable future?

Nope, I think Sony was already flooded with PS3 redemptions and had to give away at least 5 times the number of PS3's that they had budgeted for IMO (or by looking at the posts in other pages of DTVForum). Many people haven't even got delivery of their TV sets but they've paid in advance so their claim is going to be honoured. Sorry but it looks like you've missed the boat this time.

One can always hope for some Easter deals ....

I got quoted $1080 for the samsung R81 32". Do you think thats a good deal? What is the cheapest offer for that TV?

Hi, I was looking for this model too. Just wondering, is that the price after discount with the union shopper or is it the regular sale price at retravision? And if possible could I get a copy of your receipt for price matching purposes? (if you have one that is). thanks heaps

Well I caved in...I went to Clive Peters at Auburn and scored an LX508 for $5200 delivered!!! Very happy, didn't have to show a docket or quote from any where else either, siad I had been offered it at that price at their Belrose store and they said we'll have to match it....tooo easy!! Hopefully be watching it by next tuesday he said

Can someone update the wiki, instore there are prices listed at less than whats listed on the wiki (i.e. Samsung LA40M81BDX wiki $2195, retravision price tag $2099)

There should be a date next each price listed, and i think putting the screen resolution next to the model number would be helpful to a lot of novices too (me ).


Samsung LA40M81BDX:
I went into retravision and as mentioned above the price tag had 'sale price' (lol) $2099, so i talked to the guy he said u give me a figure (BASTARD, hate it when they do that) i said i could get $1950 elsewhere, at the time i thought it was a great price but upon reflection i dnt think its that great. Anyway, he said he is sure he could beat it, but he also said 'honestly i couldnt get u the BEST price in town', he said shop around and come to us last (typical). Also quoted the warranty (from standard 3 to 5yr extended) at $239

I reckon u can get the tv around $1850 mark.

Im gonna do a lot of shoppoing today, i'll post my receipt whenever i buy whatever i buy

There's a user called "BirdieNumNum" on DTVForum who says he's got a redemption 32" R81 for sale. He's asking $666 (nice number !!!). Why don't you contact him to see if you get a deal ?

G'day mate,

Which Retravision was it ? I update the Wiki from time to time based on prices I see in this forum or the shops. And yes, I generally list the prices cheapest first (which also corresponds to date). Let me know and I'll put it up immediately.

Digital Center in Melb has the 40" M81 for $1899 using his no-deposit finance scheme. I'm sure you can get it for that price from most other places.

Purchased a Samsung LA40F81BDX from the Good Guys at Chatswood NSW last Saturday for $2600 + $40 delivery. Ask for Phil.
