The holidays are getting closer and Sony is pulling out all the tricks to try to sell as many PS3's as possible.
Now, they are reducing the price of the PlayStation 3 to USD 299. Well, not exactly. The PS3 is still officially USD 399, but if you sign up for Sony's Sony Card you get USD 100 credit when you purchase a PS3. Not to mention, you get 12 months of no interest.
The deal seems like a rather good one if you can get your card paid off within the 12 months. Otherwise you could be looking at paying a whopping 14.49% interest on your card.
You can sign up for the Sony Card here.


Sweet deal! Just make sure you pay it off before the promotion ends otherwise you will be paying a lot more than you should be.
nah, to risky for me
Great deal.. For people who have good or established credit. Which most of us dont have..
I can see people getting caught in the 14.49% interest trap
@Ryoma
How is that risky? Just make sure you have your card payed off, you can have at least half the money stored up before you buy the card.
that's easy, too bad I already have one. Not to mention I don't need a credit card. It's not like it would be hard to pay back $300 over 12 months.
If it is hard to pay back $300 dollars in one year then gamers are in a worse state of affairs than I imagined. No wonder there was so much hate at the $600 price tag... people cannot seem to save up $300 much less twice that amount.
@ryoma
How is paying a 300 loan back in 12 months ($25 per month) risky? Just wait until your have a mortgage or rent in your life!!!!!
psn id: gingo... that is insane interest to be adding on but if people can get the loan paid back in time then it is a fantastic deal
Double edged sword but I it can be used right.
pretty nice deal, to bad im an early adopter and payed $800 CAN for mine. dammit!
Let's have some more credit! I considered opening a Sony card for the new MP3 player since I already got my PS3, but I resisted. Don't need another card right now.
And how much is the card establishment fee and anual subscription charge?
$49 per year and the fine print says you have to hold the card until 20January 2009 so you are only getting a $2 discount. ----Cheap snake oils salesman tricks - good one Sony you F ukheads - not everyone is stupid and cant read the application form. Total Jip - What a bunch of tools.
Whats the catch
wow! thats a good deal
maybe sony will get a lot more sales from this
Ha,I knew there was a catch,there's always a catch,still a great deal though.
I would have loved to have seen this deal in Feb something 07,when I purchased my 60gig w/2 games for about $730 USD:(
