I just bought a Sony Bravia KDL40W2000 40" LCD 1080p television
Sony sell it for £1790.
If you click the link, you'll see that John Lewis sell it online for £1800 with a five year warranty (there's a lorra lorra value in that - can pay about £350 elsewhere for that, from the places willing to even sell an extended warranty) and 'free' DVD recorder worth £299.
Well I'm not really fussed about that DVD recorder it comes with.
John Lewis in-store do the same bundle in-store for £1700.
I just ordered it from John Lewis...
Got them to price match to somewhere else, which means I lose the DVD player, but keep the 5 year warranty (which hardly anyone else does)...
£1249. Ohhhhh yeah :D
Ok, I admit, that's still a whole heck of a lot of money for a TV... But £450 off the list price is a VAST amount to "haggle" off!
Woooooowh :)
Oh man, I am so freaking jealous!!!! We will be looking for a 42" at some point, once the prices come down somewhat. That's the largest size we can fit in the unit the hubby built.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend.
That's fantastic!! ENJOY!!

How flash! how bizarre I've just bought a new tv to but it's not as fancy as that one, but if I'd let my other half do the shopping alone, I have no doubt he'd have picked the same as you...it's definitely a boy thing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
It looks quite attractive; if i could hide it in a unit somewhere, i might be persuaded next time i purchase a TV ;~)
ReplyDeleteHehe, slightly jealous from over here too!
ReplyDeleteHowever when I bought a new TV at the end of last year I got a digital widescreen for about £220.
Picture quality is generally just as good as LCD's, and even though it's bulkier, I don't mind the space-issue at the moment.
Nice one! I agree - Doctor Who must look rather impressive on that size screen!
I would so LOVE to see those Daleks next week on such a big screen!!!

LOL thanks Roses ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't say that doorstops were high on my list of wants ;)
I was in Focus and picked up a leccy screwdriver, and figured they probably also sold doorstops. Well, just the wedge thingies is all I mean.
I am going to try to get a decent blog post up today...
How many times have I thought that? ;)
