Get a free PS3 with purchase of Sony HDTV
It appears that despite the fact Christmas has come and gone, Sony is still very much in the giving mood. Right now, it's offering a free 80GB PS3 if you purchase a select Sony HDTV with the Sony Card. We're not sure exactly why, but something smells a little fishy here.
For the most part, Sony is offering up its Bravia line and a few of its rear-projection models in the deal. And since Sony may be dropping support of its rear projections anyway, you might want to choose a Bravia if you're serious about the deal.
To apparently make the deal a little sweeter, you won't have to pay interest for the first year. However, if you don't pay it off within that time frame, the interest, which is at 14.49 percent, is retroactively tacked on. We're not sure how many of you are without a PS3, but this could be one alternative if you expect to come into a healthy sum of money once a rich relative "kicks the bucket" in the next year.

Someones gonna screw themselves by not viewing the actual interest rate and the time-frame.

I agree with mint400, whats so fishy? can we get a proffesional to answer that, maybe someone who works at this website, that is if you read our comments.

It was sarcasm, guys. There's nothing illegal or anything about this promotion, it's just funny to see that you're buying a Sony HDTV with the Sony Card to get a Sony PS3.

what?

Lol, yet another misconception of sarcasm that will be mentioned in the next episode of the PlayStation Fancast.
Speaking of the Fancast, when is the next episode!?! I've been waiting forever. So long, that I've been listening to the PS3Nation podcast for the time being (great podcast, by the way).

Ya'll need to work on your "sarcasm". Because I was about to say that you're some of the suckiest fanboys I've ever seen.---12

You gotta understand, it's pretty hard to do sarcasm in text.

I think this is nothing more than an attempt to get rid of inventory on HDTVs. If they really wanted people to have a PS3 then they would allow me to purchase the VPL-VW40 SXRD projector in January (during its release) from a reseller I choose and using a credit card I want to use (Amex).
Seems like being forced on over-priced Sony flat-panels using their credit card (I wonder if its really Household Credit) seems, well, fishy. :)
