Icyedge said: If you are more than 18 and in the U.S., the sony credit card deal is way better. On sony dot com, you can fill up the form for Sony visa card and you receive 100$ off your purchase of the PS3. So its only 199$ for a brand new PS3 with free shipping directly from sony. If you cannot have a credit card I would check with a friend or parents and then pay them back. Too bad im in Canada because at this price I would purchase another one, and sell it over ebay for a quick 100$ lol. |
Actually, the Sony Credit deal is way worse.
1) you have to get a credit card and get credit on said credit card, so you must keep using it for at least 3-4 months. So while you are getting $100 you have to be disiplined to actually pay off your bill every month for 4 months. (or however long it takes to get your credit and then pay spend another $100)
2) it hurts your credit score to open extra credit cards unless you never had one. I already have 2 credit cards and opening up more just makes your credit score drop. Your credit score is incredibly important unless you like throwing money away. I won't even get a credit card at a store for 20% because it hits your credit score for at least 6 months and I'm trying to buy a house so my credit score is worth way more than the $20 I might save in 1 day. Even with a car, a shift of 1% on interest will turn out to be a lot more than you are saving for that one day.
