    I'm a future FZ owner (will be ordering within the next week) but I was hoping someone here could help me out a bit. If anyone has any coupon codes, I would love them very much in return for the code. I know my love may not seem worth much to you, but trust me, it's worth it.

    But seriously, can anybody help me out with getting a discount on an FZ?

    TIA

    Sony doesn't really have discounts. Sony is a premium brand, so if you want cheap, look elsewhere.

    And, as a matter of fact, Sony does have discounts like the ones they are having now on the FZ's. The current discounts, however, don't include the new Penryn, which is what I want.

    I think you were reading Lithus's post wrong Paticle. He wasn't really trying to be an ass. Yes, they are having a deal on the FZ's right now since they're phasing them out, but typically you are going to be paying more for VAIOS then competing brands.

    I received a 5% discount coupon the other day, unforunately I already gave the code to another member. I'm sure others who purchased from Sony Style in the past have received one as well. Maybe they can help you. I'll ask the user I sent the coupon to whether or not they will be using it, if not I will PM it to you.

    Thank you. You know, now that you said that, it must have been your post I read a couple days ago where you said you'd PM somebody with the 5% coupon code. That's kinda what gave me the idea to ask if anyone had one...

    Thanks for trying to help

    Sony occasionally offers free shipping on all orders. This will save you about $50.

    The other user decided not to us the coupon, and I just PM'd you the code. Before ordering make sure to check out a couple Sony vendors such as Portable One, and Newegg they always have lower prices.

    I ordered my Premium SZ over the phone and got free shipping and $100 off. The free shipping was only offered for like three days there and the $100 off was some coupon the reps had to give for phone orders.

    Over the phone I was able to get 20 percent off accessories and $50 but no free shipping.

    Well, here we go. Someone take my freshly emailed e-code for $100 off.

    $100 off VAIO of $1500 or more (any model I think):
    VAIOEML814B
    Good through Feb 29 but I'm guessing it will be used in about 4 minutes.

    I ordered my FZ4 mid January and I just got this code in email. *sigh* Post here if you used it successfully.
    Oh yeah, and you better rep me!!


    EDIT: Nevermind this isn't an individual coupon like I thought, it's an open coupon for all.

    If the code is used up by someone you can probably just call and order your VAIO over the phone to get $100 off. Reps have coupons available to use.
