great deal!

@vetteman94 - why didn't you say sony giving away ps3s with the purchase of a tv is desperate?

3 years after it came out compared to 1 month, not really the same thing I would say.

Not to mention those PS3 deals are also in a collaboration effort with them and Best Buy.  Hence why you cant get the same deals at other stores

a £300 game system and a £40 game... not really the same thing I would say.

neither are desperate.  its a PROMOTION.  not everything is a fanboy game.

Yet thats exactly what you made it out to be by bringing up the PS3 TV deal, you are blantantly obvious with your intentions

Windows 7 phones arent doing so well early on and interest is low in them as well,  throwing this promotion out there so early in its life cycle reeks of being desperate.  Not the same thing as the PS3 TV deal, as it came a few years after release and its a combo deal, buy a PS3 and a Sony TV and get alot of money taken off.  If you were to only buy a Sony TV you dont just get a PS3 free


To call it desperation is incorrect. This is more of a business tactic. They are attempting to claim a stake in a market that is dominated by Apple and Google. What they are trying to do is mass market penetration with these promotions. This does not guarantee success, but it hardy reeks of desperation.

The free game promotion is mainly aimed at Xbox 360 owners; it only targets the audience that already owns an Xbox 360 or a potential owner.  The BOGO sales go on with all retailers with many phones at various times of the year. This promotion may also have something to do with the time of the year it is as well.
