    Apparently, there is a special offer from Sony if you are a business person.

    You can either choose between a free docking station or a free spare battery!

    If you have purchased a Sony Notebook after Oct 1, you are eligible.

    More info is posted at: http://sonylovers.com/showthread.php?p=2

    Wanted to know if any of you have already taken the offer on this, does it work?

    Mmm...I guess purchases made at SonyStyle does not qualify then.

    AC19V30 stick adapter? What's up with Sony USA's addiction to 3-prong cord?

    So you have to have a Business account setup with Sony then (or at least register then). I mean, not everyone can just go buy one from CDW or PCNation and then nab this deal, right?

    Because there is bigger potential in business customers. They buy more often and bigger quantatis. Normal users normally buy one laptops per 2-4 years, business customers buys much more.

    I wonder how do they validate all these invoices? It would take forever if they actually call up every single seller to check the date & then take forever to send the stuffs out.

    Just an update to this, I just sent in my barcode, and all my information. Let's hope this goes through! Would be awesome if I were to get a dock and an AC adapter, as well as a bluetooth mouse for free! Thanks to sonylovers.com for this

    I'd rather sony keep the psp, and lower the price on the FW CTO or at least offer the 290CTO.
