I also saw an offer to get a free blu-ray player instead of a PS3.

Just to mention Play.com has a 3 for 2 Blu-ray offer at the moment.

I think that's just a general Blu-ray offer. HMV and Virgin/Zavvi stores also have 3 for 2 offers.

Tv broadcasting goes from analog to digital towards the end of february 08, i think.

I was looking to buy a new tv thats 120mhz,1o8op, 24p, hdmi1.3 capable in spring 08 for the hd content from vzfios and my ps3. This is a great deal,and if it was stateside I would buy a new set now.

Oh god, here we go again...
NA is the only place thats hasn't cought on to the PS3 yet. Mostly because they see Xbox as an American product.
Everywhere else they are already getting the PS3 sales up and a lot of areas have passed 360 sales. this is simply getting the ball rolling, because the more that are out there, the more people will see them and the more people will want them.

Its not a smart move is a desperate move, when you have a product that doesn't sell, you obiously want to get it out somehow and that is the only way people would get, FREE!!

you guys have it backwards, its a desperate move to sell tv's, not ps3's other wise you would get a free tv with a ps3 purchase. Don't let fanboyism cloud your judgement.

So, according to your analogy, all marketing campaigns in the modern world are desperate... Also, if you were a president of a University u would probably cancel all marketing classes because they are simply desperate and encourage desperate moves... I just wanted to clarify things out for all out there, any marketing campaign is not desperate its smart, this is marketing 101 people, wake up... and to xbox fan boys, if you keep calling all the sony marketing moves desperate, you gonna wake up next year with your 360 not even in the picture of gaming.
This marketing moves that you call desperate, moved Sonys Bravia from no #5 best selling TV in the US to #2 and almost beating no 1 (samsung and vizio)...

Nah this was also already in Europe for some weeks ago.

If you can't sell them enough, you might want to give them away for free, right. I've heard Sony is also giving them to employees of Sony/Eriksson office in The Netherlands.

Clearing up the stock guys?

Exactly right. Sony MPAA and Sony RIAA are VERY interested in getting everyone onto BR and the DRM-laden PS3 so that they can curb DVD pirates.

Its clear as day.

Sony is using its best hand to help the MPAA and RIAA get richer.

12 - Increased 'sales'

This is another Sony 'Smoke & Mirrors' gimmick to 'increase' their sales after the holidays. Cause every PS3 given away for free, will count as a sale (to them).

Imagine if MS gave away a 360 with every copy of Vista - now you know how desperate Sony is.

12.1 - except people want 1080p bravias...

nobody wants vista. its a piece of crap thats being forced into the market by MS. They promised so much for that OS and all it ended up with was bloat. At least youre getting a great deal with this offer. If you got a free 360 with vista, it'd be like getting a free wedgie with purchase of kick in the balls.

but what it does do is ensures people will buy bluray for there hd tvs and hopefully jump into the ever increasing popularly game and social scene that the ps3 is slowly building up.

Sweet deal, and its correct to say it has been offered in many places to stimulate the sales of the 1080P sets.
Its normally only the official stockists that get these deals though, so its not that sweet. I saved £500 on Sony price on my recent LCD by internet buying, so even a good freebie would not have swayed my purchase decision.
Still, it makes sense. Everyone who's seen my 1080P LCD with a qulaity 1080P source, like the PS3, has immediately wanted one, and I'm sure it will help sales of the technology in the long run. Not that they seem to need it, as both technologies seem to be selling well anyway...

I've seen a similar deal to this at John Lewis ( http://www.johnlewis.com/Te... ) but it's only the 40GB version that you get. This is in the UK btw. You'd think John Lewis would be an expensive place to shop, but they do price match any highstreet price and also include a 5 year warranty

i work at a sony centre in the u.k free five year guarantee and a free ps3 with 46w3000 and 46v3000 models we have been doing it for a while.
its a real shame we are not doing it with the 40" models would be sold out of those as well if we did.

It is SO worth it.
I had an older standard TV when I first got my PS3 and I tried to fight off getting an HDTV for as long as I could.
When I finally did, I got the Bravia and I have never looked back.
Games look so much better and BlueRay movies are amazing.

People who get this Bravia bundle are essentially guaranteed to become full-fledged Blu-ray/PS3 supporters. I've seen the BDA do this with other standalone Blu-ray players as well.
