Ok guys, if what your saying is true, than credit in the U-S and Canada doest work the same. I bought my car 2 years ago, still at 0%, it was 5 years at 0%, its common here. Opening up a credit card or closing up a credit card doesnt affect your credit score here, I can certified that.

 

And I also always read the fineprint before signing a contract!

Yeah, dont' understand that funny Canadia stuff but as for the waiting at least...

This site says:

Your first single sales receipt purchase made at SonyStyle.com, equal or greater than $299 ("Qualifying Purchase") will automatically qualify you for a $100 Statement Credit. Statement Credit within the first 45 days your account is open will be posted to your Sony Card Statement within 8-12 weeks from Qualifying Purchase

You'll get the $100 2-3 months after you make the purchase.

yes, well that may be the case. I didn't realize you were from Canada at first or I would have suggested this. In the US you can get 0% for the first year (pretty common) but after that it typically skyrockets. Any credit card you open is at least a 6 month hit, and unless you have way to many credit cards, closing them is a bad idea. If you have a lot of credit cards closing one is good as it reduces how much available credit you have.

 

I see, its not good how it works for you. Here a credit card or loan demand will only affect your credit score if its refuse. But like in the states having a lot of credit card can affect your chance of receiving a big loan because of the available credit, the bank will probably ask for your confirmation and will close them and lend you, without affecting your credit. We also have a law concerning skyrocketing interest, now company that lend at 0% cannot go more than 19% after then end of term. It was 29.95% before. And concerning the car industry, the % interest needs to be fixed in advance and is a flat charge added to price of the car, the amount of money of interest will cleary figure on the  car contrat.

Having a socialist governement can be a good thing sometime :).

Ok so actually you pay the PS3 299$ and then receive a 100$ credit to spend elsewhere. Yup its not that good! Unless you wait after the 45 days period.

$30 will feed me lunch for 15 days. If I had a BJ's or Sam's Membership I could probably go 30 days worth of lunches if I ate really simple meals.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Really? Because $30 would buy me Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, and any other super fantastical game on the NES. Would you prefer simple lunches for thirty days or that?

Take the deal and get super special awesome gaming happiness. Or thirty days of lunches of salads and small-portioned food.

Okay, to those of you who are listening to people to avoid the credit card, just forget what they said. I have a wamu card (just got it when wamu wasn't chase to get free credit rating), chase visa, discover, and barnes and noble. When I looked at the free credit rating from wamu, I have 745 rating. Their system boosted my rating because I pay in full each month. The only time my credit went down is when I closed my bank account at bank of america to switch to wamu.

Here is how to use the Sony style credit card:
Buy a ps3 using it at the sony website. The card is zero interest for 12 months.
Don't pay off the debt until the $300 is cut to $200.
Then pay it in full.
Put away the credit card.

This seems more like what I was thinking too.

You still have to make the minimum payments otherwise you lose the 0% interest deal, you miss one payment during those offers and the deal is off.  Its the way all 0% deals work.   

So for those of you thinking of listening to this guy, forget what he said.
