    I was wondering if you can get a discount for a laptop, specifically the SA, if you order over the phone and haggle. I'm planning on ordering 2 SA's at the same time (one for me and one for my father who fell in love with it after seeing it) and thought I might be able to get a discount with that. Has anyone had any experiences over the phone where they did this?

    I believe when the Z first came out a number of people got discounts over the phone. Usually some number of accessories and/or warranty has to be purchased together. Sort of like you need to give Sony some incentive to give you a discount.
