Sony is a very trusted brand, it actually does make sense. I mean my 53" is a Bravia, my old CRT was a Sony, my stereo is a Sony... yeah I could go on. Its especially true of the likely target market of Readers Digest for whom Sony was the go to brand for high quality electronics in the 80s and 90s.

BTW have you got a new look Dick Smith near you? The refit does look really nice and the store layout is excellent. Im tempted to go back there just to try out all the cool stuff. It makes the Sony Style store look pitiful by comparison that I saw up at Silvia park not more than a few days ago.

In regards to PCs you better be getting a gaming 'capable' PC when you upgrade or there'll be hell to pay.

I think the one on Feathersone Street has had an upgrade but the one in Lyall Bay (closest to my house) hasn't. Haven't really been in for a good squizzy yet. Must go buy a game or something from them soon, gatta spread the game buying love among all the retailers. DSE was the first retailer I saw who had Uncharted 2 for <$100, so they got my money for that game.

This is a really odd list of stuff. 2 electronics companies, a chocolate company, a newspaper. a toothpaste company and about 5 companies I have never head of.

133 brands, across 15 product categories, in New Zealand. Given those are the parameters of the survey it's expected that there will be a wide range in the top 10 (though a toothpaste company is kinda weird). And do you expect only multinationals everyone's heard of would be trusted? Actually, I kinda expect the opposite. So if you have never lived in NZ it's hardly surprising you've never heard of half the companies on the list.

NZ Post is the postal service BTW, but you're hardly expected to know that. Just wanted to make sure you don't think we trust the newspapers / news media; that would be weird

http://pricespy.co.nz/ is your best internet tool for cheap games. Just type the name into the search box and voila! You have some of the cheapest retail stores in New Zealand along with feedback as to how good/bad/unreliable they are. If you think you don't need this tool then you need a vuvuzela up your bum!

For instance its showing that the Warehouse has Modnation racers for the PS3 the cheapest amongst all the stores they have at $99. Like how the old yellow pages advertisement went, let your fingers do the walking.
