I don't know about Australia but when they had this "promotion" in Sony Centres in Poland price of Bravia with "free" PS3 was similar to price of same Bravia + PS3 sold separatly in independant online shops.
Of course considering how much thread opener loves his X360 he missed few other interesting tidbits from article
While PS3 wasn't the victor in hardware sales, the three current PlayStation platforms (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable) managed to have an impressive year in software sales. In total, 42 per cent of all software sold during 2008 was on one of the three PS consoles.
Consistent with last year’s boom in the "family games" category, the SingStar franchise saw a 47 per cent increase in sales, with the latest game in the franchise--SingStar ABBA--selling 92,000 units in the six weeks leading up to Christmas across the PS2 and PS3.
While the focus of today's announcement was primarily on the PS3, Sony also updated its figures for the PS2 and PSP. Over its nine years of sales, the PS2 still holds strong to its title of best-selling console down under, boasting 2.4 million consoles in Australian households. The PSP, on the other hand, has sold just over half a million.

# of PS family consoles/Handeld in Australia - 3.3 Million
# of Competing consoles/Handelds in Australia - 3.9 Million
% of PS console in Australia - 46%
Meaning that even with 46% of the consoles in Australia, Sony was only able to sell 42% of the software..
Thanks for those extra tidbits, I guess it just reconfirms the low attachement rates troubling the Playstation consoles/handhelds...
Edit: Numbers changed from 49% to 46% for the % of Sony consoles/handheld
